You've been baffled by its smart thermostat. Now strap in for Nest's IoT doorbell, alarm gear

Lee D Silver badge

£20 box off Amazon (GPS tracker/vehicle locator/auto-fuel-cut-off/etc. box - basically GPS + relays connected to GSM).

One giffgaff SIM card on minimum payment (£5/month) so they don't shut it off.

Wire into existing doorbell.

Done.

Sure, not a "commercial" product, but are you honestly telling me that it costs thousands of dollars to package that up in a neat box that just plugs in?
