Q: QuestionWhat are the improvements over the first generation hub?

Asked 5 years ago by andya41.

• A:Answer Moatly the soli radar sleep sensor, re-tuned bass for better sound, 3 mics instead of 2, and on board command processing instead of querying the server as much, and internal hub-like network enhancement to allow communication with lights etc if your wifi went out. Sounds like Amazon's sidewalk but google calls it something else. Unclear if processor is new. Beveled edge is cosmetically different. Screen res is the same as gen 1.

Q: QuestionIs this a good solution for an intercom type system for a townhouse when my wife doesn't want to tell at me from upstairs? We use Google Home Mini for lights and timers and things.

Asked 2 years ago by Mike.

• A:Answer The Google Home speakers and hubs have a feature where if you say "hey Google broadcast" it will then broadcast whatever you say after that to all speakers or if you say hey Google broadcast followed by a specific speaker or hub on your network it will broadcast what you say but to only that device specified. This does work very intercom like just without the ptt buttons

Asked 3 years ago by searchdiver.
