    Hub Works, but Google Home is not Great

    The hub itself works fine, but Google Home is a bit unreliable and buggy. Unless you have an Android, would maybe consider another operating system for your Smart home. It's also a bit smaller than I thought, but it's the perfect size for my kitchen so it's usable but out of the way on my counter.

    I set it up. Tried to use it for my wife however it keeps going to my account instead of hers. So the only way I can think of is to reformat it and have her Google account set it up and add it to the house. But not sure how that works. If Google would just realize more people use their products than one person that would be fantastic *cough Google TV cough* Instead of waiting for a software feature to drop it should be part of the development. Anyway other than the slow UI it’s pretty good. Does what I need it to do.
