This is specific for Nest devices only.

nevertheless device with type Doorbell and Chime treat is able to generate voice alerts on smart hub. Currently there are no usable functions for Doorbell with existing set of traits.

wanted to bring back this topic to a closure to see if you are willing to do something with Doorbell. I've analyzed scrypted plugin source code and found that my first assumption was incorrect, sorry for that.

To announce doorbell notification through speakers it uses "hack" by sending ObjectDetection trait response:

Code:

return {
      ObjectDetection: {
        objects: { unfamiliar: 1 },
        priority: 0,
        detectionTimestamp: Date.now()
      }
    };

Is this something that can be added to Google Home app to support this functionality?

We will take a look sometime later.
