what I like about the 6 months later "timeframe" is that you get some updates that people that review products when they just launched don't get. one thing that was just launched for the Nest Hub 2 is the swipe up drawer for quick access to some apps. Still on the "Preview" program, but made the little screen a little more useful, almost like a not-so-portable tablet.

Serous question. Why do some people support companies that could care less about privacy and security? You get a security camera from a company that tosses security right out the door. Malware is always on droids in fact 97% of malware is on droids. They still make it very difficult to block apps form tracking but they want to sellout to Facebook so they could care less about you and your safety. This is done on propose and everyone should ask themselves why Google purposely makes it so easy for malware and apps to track you.

This device us been a life saver for me as an adult with ADHD. The ability to just speak reminders & shopping lists rather than having to write them down (and lose them) is great. It also helps me figure out how much sleep I'm really getting; just because I went to bed at 1am and woke up at 7am clearly doesn't mean I'm getting 6hrs of sleep! No wonder I'm always tired 🤣 Truly thinking of getting a Pixel phone just because of how much more I prefer Google Assistant to Siri!

I've got an original, and goog assist and I go at it all the time. It works about 70% of the time to do what I want. Most annoying is telling it to turn off the bedroom light after I get in bed, then having to get up and turn it off myself. I usually end up telling it, "You know you can be replaced by a speaker!" The sleep thing on the new one might be interesting, but not $100 worth -- and I'd be enraged if they wanted to start charging me $$ for that after a few months. All in all, it's just another brick in the wall!

Thanks for the review, it was very thorough. I have had this device for a few days and one of the biggest downfalls for me is the alarm is sounds only and not music from Apple Music/spotify. Unless I just haven't been able to work out how to do this? Do you know how to do this?
@4684peter 2 роки тому
Hi Hayley, you can set music for alarms by saying the command "Wake me up with music at x am" an Nest will ask you back what music to play :) After setting the alarm you will be able to see it on the alarms page and also modify the time and days. It will not have the option to change the music again so for different music you will need to create a new music alarm instead

@@hayleyrussell2720 Hi Hayley, your reply just appeared in my notifications for some reason. Could that be a regional thing? I live in Greece so I assume that if we have this feature it will be available anywhere in the world. When you ask Nest to play some music in general, does it ask you to set a default music service (like Apple Music/Spotify) or have you already set one? In your case I wouldn't skip contacting Google Home support, maybe they can troubleshoot it with you.
@burdell2 2 роки тому

A concern that I saw in reviews when it came out was performance of the touch-interface. I still see some choppiness in this and other videos that feels like it really shouldn't be there. How would you rate the device's general performance?
@utwahoo 2 роки тому
In my experience, the touch interface can be somewhat choppy at times when I swipe on the screen. Visually, it's somewhat annoying at times when I'm bringing up the settings bar from the bottom of the screen or swiping through settings but in terms of performance for most tasks everything works fairly smoothly.
@schapediddly 2 роки тому
I agree, but at the same time its $100. Can't really expect it to have a very powerful processor at that price point. Feel like it's a good balance between price and performance, because I dk that I'd buy one at say $150+.

Sleep tracking doesnt work well for me at all. Because of medication I sometimes have to get up at least twice a night. I just get right back to sleep. But the sleep tracking function cant handle this. If I get up at 3 and at 5 It registers for example that I slept between 3 and 5 forgetting the sleep before 3 etc. It is not consistent. Sometimes it does 11 to 3. I feel it is worthless.

Hey I had the same problem and I needed to fix the Wi-Fi channel in the router. I needed. To do it a couple of times and picked a channel that had a high frequency. Also, when it said to restart the router, try unplugging the cable out the rear of the nest hub after restarting the router. But then, changing the frequency of your Wi-Fi channel while everything was plugged in seemed to do the trick after a power blackout. Good luck.

Great review, thanks. I have the Gen1 Nest Hub, I would rate it as average to sub-par. I am extremely disappointed in Google’s features in the speaker range. I have a Home mini in almost every room of the house, it works fine for playing music or asking a question, that is about it. The alarm function is pathetic, I will set an alarm for 5:30am weekdays, but I have found no way of having the alarm pause for one day say if there was a public holiday. Every time it will cancel the entire alarm schedule and I will need to set it up again after the holiday. There is also no way I have found of editing an alarm from the Google Home App. That would have to be one of the most basic and easiest programming capabilities that even a smart IT savvy teenager could accomplish. In my opinion the Google Home App is beyond pathetic.

As far as I think, if its not connected to the same WiFi then it will default to trying to connect with no access to the account. I could be wrong, but that's how the Nest works at least. Setting up a separate account for it is a good idea but if you have UKposts Premium or other premium/paid for services on your personal account, you will not have access to them.

Is there a way for this to use / select a different, Spotify Connect device for Spotify audio output? I haven't been able to figure this one out. My HiFi stereo runs an older Onkyo AVR, it supports Spotify Connect, I can easily select that when running Spotify off my android phone (and it will wake up the AVR from standby when (Spotify) Connect(ing) to it and starting playback). I have not figured out how to select a different spotify connect device for output/playback, that is _not_ another Google Home device or a Chromecast. You'd think this was one of those day 1 features, an obvious no-brainer, especially when the decision was made to implement Spotify. Unless I am missing something, that you _can_ do this and it's just me kot having figured that out yet - I only see 2 realistic reasons why it hasn't been implemented by now. 1) Artificial limitation, sole purpose to sell more, large and absurdly overpriced (for what they deliver) Google speakers. And/or 2) Spotify on the home, nest, hub etc, screen or no screen alike, is itself ("already") running AS a kind of "spotify connect playback node" ("slave mode"). It's not actually running a proper Spotify app, so it doesn't have the code (and for the hubs, interface elements) for running that function and operate as "master". I am leaning a bit towards this, as AFAIK all of the devices it _can_ send audio output to, seem to do so through Chromecast, not Spotify Connect.

I'm beginning to get a little disillusioned with Google. Right off the top of my head I think about the music I paid for. They forced me to put it on UKposts music. Then when I listen to my music on the bus on my way to work my phone screen stays on while I am listening. The only way to turn my phone screen off is to subscribe. UKposts TV is expensive. And soon I think they will start charging for UKposts. If that ever happens I'm finished with Google.

Not sure if it’s what you’re looking for, but I’m currently using a Lenovo smart clock. I have the first generation, but there’s a second generation that I think can also come with a wireless charger for other devices. I think I’ve seen it without the extension before, though. Anyways, as for the exact thing I use, it’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like. It’s basically just an alarm clock with Google assistant built in. The main screen is a clock, but you can also swipe over to see alarms and weather. However, if you set an alarm with a specific ringtone (I think it’s called impromptu, basically the tone changes every day) and your Wi-Fi goes out, the alarm won’t go off. Any other alarm tone is fine, though. You can’t set it up without Wi-Fi, but once it is set up, it the Wi-Fi goes out, everything else may not work, but the clock and alarm will.

Wanted to get one of these for the main space in the house:kitchen diner. Seems like I would be wasting all the new sleep tech by purchasing for that location. Does anyone else have one of these in the kitchen?? Nest mini is perfect for the bedroom for us.
