    I really love the Google Home Hub. This review is the only in depth one on TH-cam. I usually only watch your smart home videos, since I find those most useful to me.
    I really like how on the Google Home Hub, if you have TH-cam TV, you can watch TV straight from the display. Also, I like how it displays your timers. I always hate when a timer goes off on my Google Home, I always have to say, "Hey Google, stop.". But you can just tap snooze timer on the Hub.

Also when you get to the point where let's say there are two options you can simply say play the first one or play the second one. No need to get up and swipe the screen while in TH-cam.

    @jos.4276 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Installed mine in the bedroom yesterday. Love the clock dims enough not to disturb sleep. Alarm is easy to set; there is a 'snooze' function. Also like that I can control my Nest thermostat AND turn down the living room Sonos sound system. It will show the status of my Yale X Nest door lock, which doesn't work well to lock remotely. At least I can check from bed to see if it's locked.
    Down side: White noise is limited to a 1 hour play, I want it all night long. Doesn't access my Mac's extensive music library (which my Sonos system DOES access.) Accesses free music services (Sonos requires paid subscriptions.) I don't want to maintain 2 separate cloud accounts; I'm already subscribing to iCloud as I've got several Apple devices. I don't want to move to Google at this time.
    Would I buy this again? Yes, as it does almost all that I wanted. Definitely worth $79, which was the going price. My local WalMart had it for the original $129, but when I showed the clerk their website price, they made the adjustment. It pays to check!

    • @jos.4276
      @jos.4276 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Update three months later: I gave feedback that the ambient white noise should play until I tell it to stop, and miraculously it did just that, the very next light. Cool or scary, you decide.
      Added three lights to my living room (first floor, needed a Google puck for convenience as my DH would hate using the phone app.) Those work fine.
      However, when I tried to add a smart light (from the same package that works flawlessly in the living room) the Google Home Mini doesn't seem to know how to find/operate the bedroom smart light. When I bring the bedroom lamp to the living room, the puck there DOES operate it, although it SAYS it doesn't know how.
      I might rename the lamp to 'Living Room Lamp' instead of 'Bedroom Lamp' and see if the bedroom Home Mini sees it. The Home Mini DOES control the living room lights flawlessly.
      Does it need a puck in every room? This isn't clear. It's going to nickel and dime me if that's the case.

    Honest question: Could a tablet basically do the same thing and more??
    I was waiting to buy this for the longest time but I honestly rather spend an extra $100-200 and get a actually tablet that could do much more.

    • @TechWithBrett
      @TechWithBrett  6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Great question and something I need to cover more in depth. Yes a tablet can do all this and more. The biggest thing a tablet lacks is being always available, meaning your tablet will mostly need to be charged, is stored in a case somewhere or just doesn't hear your Ok Google to activate. Some of the Google Assistant responses may show up different but it should be a similar experience.

      I actually LIKE that this is a limited device. I don't want to be tempted to access social media, email, work, or surf the web when I'm in bed. I have two tablets and an iPhone, and more TV's than two human beings need. It's not an all-or-nothing proposition. It's right-sizing.

    Quick question.
    I'm thinking about installing google home in my parrents summer house, mainly so they can control lights and temperatures when they are not there and I'm just woundering if it can - and how easy it would - be turned this into a dashboard of sorts?
    Like something to put just inside the main door that they can see time on, controll all the lights easily (for example having all rooms show up and/or hue lighting profiles), see inside and outside temperatures and such, all on one main screen.
    It wouldn't really be used for calls, streaming or even really play music, just a first display when they enter the home to check on and control the house.
    Thanks

I say send to my phone etc. Google says sent to notifications. Nothing in notifications. This was from mini. I have just set up Nest Hub - same. Is there something really obvious I am missing? Am I looking in the wrong place on phone? Driving me crazy!! Seems like it can’t see the phone. Phone is new SE2020. Some setting on phone? Notifications turned on everywhere.

    Great review and the Nest Hub seems pretty awesome, but, unfortunately, I’ve seen many people complaining about the Nest Hub having multiple playback instability issues, music stopping randomly, video buffering, Spotify cutting out, and people that tried all the troubleshooting steps without finding any resolution, and it seems a bit unreliable for many people, according to what I’ve seen in the Google Nest community forums. Is it really a problem with many Wi-Fi networks or a software glitch that can’t be fixed easily? How reliable are them given a decent Wi-Fi signal? I’ll be happy to have it in my bedroom, but if I find out that it will drive me nuts due to instability and malfunctioning, I would rather not to buy it, and, perhaps, go elsewhere
