Wyze garage door controller, camera does not show up on Google nest hub

Based on the explanation here, it sounds like when a camera is configured as a garage door opener you CANNOT view the camera feed from Google Assistant, but only from the Wyze app: https://support.wyze.com/hc/en-us/articles/7271461394075-Wyze-Garage-Door-Controller-and-Google-Assistant

Can I see the camera view of the Wyze Garage Door Controller on my Google Home display or Chromecast?

  • No, because although the garage door controller has a camera attached, it is a garage door controller. It is not a camera that you view with Google Assistant, but a door that you open/close with Google Assistant. While you cannot stream the view of your garage door to a Google device, you can still check your camera view via the Wyze app.

That said, I think this is a shame and should be fixed… Without the camera visibility in Google assistant, this is almost a useless feature for things like a Nest Hub, and I’m tempted to just remove the garage door part and DIY my own controller from simple parts.
