  • Google is replacing the Nest Hub with a second-gen model that can sense your sleep habits with the help of Soli. It costs $100 and comes with everything we liked about the first Nest Hub, plus bigger bass and new color options. See the Google Nest Hub here 👉 bit.ly/30WKM8z

    I bought a Nest Hub 2nd GEN shortly after it came out. It was working for around five minutes, when I realized I made a mistake setting it up. It was easy to reset it and try again, except it refused to connect ever again. Bottom line, I was told by Nest Support in the Philippines that I needed a new Router. I have several other Smart Devices working fine. Why doesn't Google tell you to call your ISP before purchasing. Guess that they didn't want to hurt sales. Returned.

    Gen 2 sleep tracking is a waste of time as it never works. Set it up several times and the next morning it’s says there is no sleep data. Nest hub has gotten so slow lately that I’m thinking about dumping it as it either doesn’t hear what you say or does a completely different task. Not worth the money as Google has no feedback or anywhere to get help.

      Yes. See Google's page on the Hub to see which apps run as native apps (Netflix, TH-camTV, Disney+). Other apps can be run from your computer or mobile device using the Cast feature.

    My first gen Nest HUB suddenly stopped working which could be due to a Over the air update, the device shows the google logo, plays the start up chime and then black screen. Display and speakers are working, there is no way to recover or restore. I contacted google support send them a video of whats happening, but as the device is outside warranty nothing can be done. I understand if the hardware fails after use, i will upgrade, but this is not my mistake. I am not sure if i will buy another one, and with that i might actually replace my nest door bell with something else too.
