Nest doorbell angle mounts: sizes and options
Quick answer
Google does not sell an angle wedge for any Nest Doorbell. To aim a Nest at your walkway you need a third-party wedge. The battery model is 160 x 46 x 24.1 mm. The wired 3rd gen model is 131 x 42 x 28 mm. Each body needs a wedge shaped for it, and common third-party Nest mounts run from about 25 to 55 degrees.
Google sells stands, cables, and covers for the Nest Doorbell. It does not sell an angle wedge. Not for the battery model, not for the wired ones. If your Nest faces the wrong way, a third-party wedge is the only path.
Know your Nest first
The two current bodies are not the same size, and the gap is big enough to matter. The battery model is long and narrow. The wired models are shorter and slimmer. Here are the numbers.
| Nest model | Body size | Weight | Camera view |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nest Doorbell (battery) | 160 x 46 x 24.1 mm (6.3 x 1.8 x 0.95 in) | 206 g (7.3 oz) | 145° diagonal |
| Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd gen) | 131 x 42 x 28 mm (5.2 x 1.7 x 1.1 in) | 140 g (4.9 oz) | 166° diagonal |
| Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen) | 5.2 x 1.7 x 1.1 in | Not published | 145° diagonal |
All numbers from Google Nest spec pages.
Why the size gap matters
A wedge holds the doorbell by its body or its back plate. The battery Nest is 29 mm taller and 4 mm wider than the wired 3rd gen, and almost 4 mm thinner front to back. A wedge cut for one will sit loose or not seat at all on the other. Check your model in the Google Home app before you buy anything.
Picking the angle
Same test as any doorbell. Have someone stand where guests stand and watch the live view. Pick the smallest angle that puts them in frame. Third-party mounts made for Nest commonly run from 25 to 55 degrees, so there is room to go steeper if your door really faces away.
Mounting on brick? Read the brick guide. Not sure a wedge is the fix? Start with doorbell facing the wrong way.
