Google Nest Hub Review

So, yeah. I'm pretty darn enamored by the Google Nest Hub. It's a brilliant little digital photo album, a great way to control all your connected home stuff, and, yeah, it'll play music and videos, too. Seriously, if you're looking for something to get someone this holiday season, get them this.

Thanks for hanging out with us!

Have they removed the ability to lock your door from this? I just got a Yale Nest lock and it shows up in the Google Home app, but only lets me control it from the Nest app. The lock doesn't even show up in my home hub.

would you reccomend this for an airbnb home?

Is it suitable for people with vissual disabilities like me? Obviously I can make a quick Google search on it, but, for example: Can it read continually a full web article out loud after showing it or just gives visual and short-spoken responses? Rather it should work that way, it’s a voice enabled Google device

I just got one of these and I’m trying to figure out how to get it to show the guest wifi name and code on screen for when after COVID gatherings can resume. I’m probably just missing something easy.
Anyways. Just found and subscribed to your channel!

It's on sale as of this post for $100 - along with a lot of other google home devices. ($90 for a google home, $50 2-pack home minis, and some assorted discounts on smarthome devices like thermostats and nest cameras.)

I just ordered the Nest Hello Doorbell and a Nest Outdoor Cam for my garage. What happens when motion is detected on both the outdoor cam and doorbell? Will the live feed pop up and alert you when motion is detected, or is it just when someone rings the doorbell?

If you could buy either of the lenovo or google display for the same price, which would you pick? I can get either for the same price and undecided on which to go for? Thanks

I love my home hub but I hate that the continued conversations feature that is available on all the other google stuff, is NOT on this

[Rick_Air]

Picked one of these up last month when on sale. It's for Christmas, so my kids took great joy in letting me know it has to be hidden away till then.

It's an improvement, I bet in no time there won't be any non screen assistant

Is the play store loadable and can you download apps. Like vivint alarm app

[dsignori]

Nice, thanks. Can I watch TV on YTTV on this thing?

[milanroets]

Bought one from Lowes for $75 on Black Friday. Not sure if I am going to keep or return it. I see some Walmart stores are clearance it for $50

[peterburns]

Are there any competition for the google hub home?

[bvanderwerff]

Are you able to connect another Bluetooth device to the Hub as well?

[evolvesurvive]

Hey, i hope you can help, i recently got the google home hub, and was able to set up a few lights, and an AC wifi controller, but when i scroll from top to bottom, to reveal the dropdown menu, all the options.e.g. lights, cameras and thermostats are grayed out and i cant select them !, any advice as to how i can solve this to populate the options in the dropdown menu ?

Would you choose this over the 8" Lenovo Smart Display?

[dwayneshaffer]

Looks like I saw a Lenovo Smart Display in the background, which do you prefer. Verizon Wireless has the Google Smart Display and two google minis for $129.99.

Last night I asked my hub to play Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. It played a YouTube video of the first song then tried to play one of the second song, which anyone who knows the album knows the first song leads into the second without a break. This didn't happen.

I then asked it to play the same thing from my library. Still went to YouTube. Tried a third time, specifying my Google music library. Same result.

If I ask one of my home minis, it works fine.

Any ideas?
