Hey Brett... Ya know what? I am TOTALLY IMPRESSED that you take the time to answer (what seems like) every question someone asks you on here. Ive never seen any other channel do it as well as you seem to.

While I dont know how many hours you put into such a thing, Im thinking someday it might end (or at least get less and less) In the meantime.... KUDOS to you bud!

Bought one to sit on my office desk at work. Love it! Sound quality could be better when listening to music but definitely worth it. I'm thinking about buying two more.

Awe thanks for being so considerate. I’m sick of having to shut my gh up bc of a video I’m watching. So sir, hats off to u💜

[ROBERTELECTRIC]

Thanks for the video.
Can lutron and leviton dimmers and switches connected directly to Google hub?

[Goffas_and_gumpys]

Thanks for muting the commands. There are a few ads on TV right now that are always activating mine. LOL

I just won a nest thermostat, hello doorbell and hue lightbulb at an event and google has this hub on sale with a free home mini and lightbulb for $99, right on time! I had to come here first, before I make my hub purchase! Lol. Thanks!

[joseaavellanet]

Great walkthrough, waiting until it goes on sale before Christmas to grab one!

[peepers]

5000 brownie points for muting the wake commands.

[dimitri]

Amazing review! Just bought it off the internet.

[williamd]

Excellent video. Brett your one of the best tech youtubers covering tech.

I'm trying to decide if I should get this for my 75 year old mother. All my siblings have android phones but my mother refuses to move on from her flip phone. Have you had a chance to explore how the photo sharing feature would work?

Such a nice little device! So much fun

[KiJiHoon]

I live in a very small apartment so I don't have much need for this, but it would still be useful. I use my calendar for everything, and having a calculator on there would be super helpful too as I have Dyscalculia. Is it able to play any YouTube video or is it just the short ones?

[TampaTec]

Liked 👍. your phone is almost same size as that google home. Note 9?

[AceLuceroTech]

Very informative video. Thank you very much.

Question for you Brett: I just purchased a home hub and have not been able to figure out how to bring up a recent YouTube TV recording on it. Ideally I’d like to be able to say “OK Google, Play the most recent “Sports Center” recording on the Kitchen Display” (or any cast-able device in my home). I don’t even see “YouTube TV” as an option in the list of services (nor do I see regular YouTube in the list). Is there a trick to getting that working? Have you had any similar issues?

[tommyhernandez]

Great video Brett. Right now I have the Google home mini in my bedroom. I've been thinking about getting the home hub, & putting it in the kitchen. My wife likes to look up chicken dinner recipes & such. I figure she would like it if she could follow along with her favorite YouTube cooking shows.

[surgeharb]

What light bulbs and smart switches are you using?

[faengelm]

Please do a tutorial on routines. It looks like the only trigger for the routines is voice with a time constraint. Does these mean that there is no support for motion or contact sensors? Does the Nest Hello motion detect or doorbell push actually bring up the camera display?

[claudehaussmann]

So I know its a little thing I mention here but I am just now looking into Google Home and have been on YouTube boning up on the platform and notice how each video caster "politely" mutes the wake commands while exploring the features. (My phone occasionally responded nonetheless but it is nice to see consideration on the Tube. TYVM
