"Hey Google, play Billie Eilish."
"Okay, playing Billie Eilish on Spotify."

* Plays Dua Lipa *

I’m pretty sure Google updated the Hub software recently because the color sensors are now doing an incredible job making the screen look like an actual printed photo...

Very good job explaining and showing the benefits of the Max. Really helps in the decision asking process to purchase.

Great job Josh. You hit all of the points I wanted and didn't say umm every two seconds. The quality of the video was good AND you cover the products I like. I am in.

I use Meross Smart Switches in the home as well as Google Nest Camera and the Doorbell. I wonder if this Hub I can download the Meross AP and operate the switches in the home? Also operate the Govee Home AP for fans?

You: "Play Billie Eilish on Spotify"
Nest Hub Max: Playing Dua Lipa 🙈

This is so representative for my GHome experience 😅

P.S. I hope Netflix integration comes sometime...

Thanks for a great video. Also thanks for editing out all the times you must have said "Hey Google" Much appreciated. :)

Do you know if I can turn off the notification that appears on my max hub when I am monitoring it remotely via my phone. The idea of letting a would-be thief know that I am watching them and recording them isn't so appealing, seems much more sensible if they didn't know 🤔.. hope you can help. Regards Mark

Can you unplug the power cable from the device?

I'd like to have one on my desk at work but put it away when I'm not there so it would be ideal if I could leave the power adapter plugged into the wall and just plug the device in when I put it on the desk. Thanks.

Really helps me better understand the difference between Nest Hub and the Nest Hub Max. The camera is the one that I was really looking for!

[TheeSneakerChick]

Can you view camera recordings on this hub?

[jennrg]

Great job at reviewing, love my Google Max Hub, especially intermixing it with Google Hello 😎👌 Only constant issue with mine is Hand gestures, they're not very responsive.

[DesertFoxz]

This review alone convinced me to buy it

[wyatthall]

[dannykurniadi]
