DISH Introduces Google Nest Hello to the Hopper platform

DISH announced that its Hopper and Wally receivers now support the Google Nest Hello Video doorbell. When the doorbell rings, Nest Hello sends on-screen notifications directly to the television.

DISH is the first pay-TV provider to integrate a Google Nest device into its ecosystem with the Device Access program. Today’s Nest Hello announcement is the first in a series of Google Nest integrations coming to the Hopper platform. 

“Google Nest on Hopper is about giving our customers added choice and control over their home environment — with the subtle on-screen alerts delivered by the Nest Hello, customers are better equipped to hit pause and take action right away,” said Rob Sadler, DISH director of product management. “This is just the beginning of a powerful relationship with Google Nest and their vast portfolio of products.”
