    Loving it for the most part. It does not work at all with my wife's iPhone! It's supposed to work with from what I read, but haven't been able to get it to sync. Overall great little display!

    UNABLE TO ACCURATELY REVIEW DUE TO POOR DOORBELL

    Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This Hub is only as good as it can receive the sound and video signals from the Doorbell. And, since the doorbell was not sending strong enough signals, we could not rely on either the Hub or the Doorbell to show or hear who was at the door and/or the situation on our front porch. Therefore, we cannot judge the Hub without a good functioning doorbell! It did take some effort to figure out how to use this Hub. It required repeated resets to work.

    While I hate the idea of Google hearing me, this clock has been a great addition. The screen dims at night so that I can sleep. The alarm is reliable, too. I also like seeing the weather when I want.

    It is the classic Google problem. When this thing works, it is great! When it doesn't I want to throw it out a window. It usually works, but sometimes it just gives up when trying to play music throughout the house. We have multiple Nest devices, and generally like them.

      Hi Connor, thanks for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to learn that you’re having issues with your Nest Hub (2nd gen).

      We could be looking at a possible connectivity issue that affects the overall performance of your Nest Hub and other Google Nest devices, and it’s important to make sure that this is not caused by a spotty or weak Wi-Fi signal. We suggest checking your Wi-Fi network for a strong and reliable connection. If you have too many devices connected on the same bandwidth or if your network package is not enough to handle the data traffic on the network, removing other connected devices to your Wi-Fi may relieve network congestion. You can also try doing a factory reset to improve its performance.

      Your feedback is important to us, and we’d like to help you the best way possible. If you’re willing, please feel free to contact our support team, so we can investigate what’s causing the issue. You reach out to us using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Though it can do everything a smart-speaker should, there are few things you would expect the display to do, but it doesn't. Still great value for money though
