Works well with my smart home setup

Works great but lack of loud and crisp sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Speaker has good build quality and google assistance is bliss. I was expecting more loud and clear sound from this speaker as it’s at mark of $100 which is 2x or 3x compared to nest mini.
I would recommend this to a friend Kept disconnecting from the internet
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It kept disconnecting from the internet, so it would just stop playing music and “I can’t connect to WiFi right now. Please check your internet connection...” It became so frustrating that I switched to Amazon Alexa. No issues. Unfortunately I couldn’t return the Nest since I got rid of the packaging.
