The Google Assistant integration, reasonable price, and sleep tracking capabilities are also well-received.

    I really like the Hub, however sometimes it doesn’t recognize/listen and I have to repeat ‘HEY GOOGLE’ which is a bit frustrating but overall I really like this and I love the GE lights that connect to this and I also have my Roomba and TV connected which is nice!

      Hi Somie, thank you for posting your review. We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing some difficulties with voice commands on your Nest Hub (2nd gen). We'd recommend that you retrain the Nest Hub to better recognize your voice. We also suggest adjusting the Hotword sensitivity as it may also be helpful with the issue. You may follow the steps below:

      Retrain Voice Match:
      - On your phone or tablet, open the Google Home app.
      - At the top right, tap your Profile picture or initial and then Assistant settings and then Voice Match.
      - Tap Teach your Assistant your voice again and then Retrain.

      Change Nest Hub's Hotword sensitivity:
      - Open your Google Home app.
      - Select your Nest Hub.
      - At the top right, tap the Settings (Gear) icon.
      - Then tap Audio.
      - Then tap "Hey Google" sensitivity and adjust the slider to make your Nest Hub more responsive to the hotword.

      If the issue still persists then we advise that you reach out to our support specialists so we can better identify the issue and help you with troubleshooting tips. You can contact us on our Google Help page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    The added sleep feature seems to be good insight after my use so far. Otherwise same product as first gen. I needed a screen for Google TV controls and dedicated my gen 1 to that.

    Got this to use as a display for my nest camera in my 4 month old sons room for when he goes to sleep so i can keep an eye on him. It works great and is very responsive.

    Very helpful. The screen can get a little sluggish, and sometimes Spotify won't launch for some odd reason, saying "try again later." It's annoying, but it only happens occasionally. It resolves itself, and if it doesn't I just manually cast from my phone and it works again.

    So far it's great. I picked it up yesterday and set it up. I programmed my weekly alarm so far and it worked better than I expected, not to loud. I plan to test out the other features over the weekend.

    Overall, terrible for "smart" features. Purchased during Black Friday/ Holiday sale, and not even worth it at that price, let alone full price.

    This is a great product that will be the "hub" of your smart home. I find that Google Assistant is generally smart than Amazon Alexa or Apple Siri.

    The footprint is quite small, which is great for the places we have the Nest Hubs. We have 2. The interface layout is good. I like being able to control the HVAC and lights from the family room and my office. The price was great too, just under $50. To boot, the screen saver images are pretty great. They add to the look of the Hub while it's inactive.

    The better of the bunch. Works near perfect. Favorite feature is able to link multiple devices when streaming music. Small glitches here and there but overall works as advertised. Routines are great too.
