    Not too big of a fan of the user interface but it does what I need well enough. I mainly control my smart lights and view my cameras. It’s nice that you can have the cameras on constantly streaming to the hub. The alarm is really nice as well. I just raise my arm in front of the hub to snooze or say “stop” to cancel it. One thing that is weird though is that i can say “hey google, turn on bedroom light” and it will do it but the screen will say the accessory is not responding sometimes. I use Philips hue. Last thing is saying “hey google” just feels long, makes me miss Alexa.

      Hi Demarcus, thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that Nest Hub (2nd Gen) didn’t meet your expectations.

      We could be looking at a possible connectivity issue that affects the overall performance of your Nest Hub, 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.

      If you need assistance, you can always reach out to our support team We’d be happy to help here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Pretty solid device. Don’t plan on using it for viewing your home cameras though. It take a bit for it to load on the screen.

      Hi Rms1, thanks for your time sharing your feedback on Nest Hub (2nd gen), and we appreciate that you find it a pretty solid device. We hear your concern about viewing your cameras and are sorry to hear it takes a bit to load on the hub.

      To understand the underlying reason why it takes time to view your cameras using the hub, you can try disconnecting some of your connected devices to relieve traffic on your network and observe if it helps to keep your Nest cameras connected. You can also try lowering the video quality to check if it improves connectivity as high resolution video streaming requires strong and reliable bandwidth availability. If you see an improvement, then this may mean that your Wi-Fi bandwidth is not enough to keep all your devices connected. You can consider contacting your internet service provider for a resolution.

      You may also get in touch with our dedicated team so we can check whether the issue is caused by the Nest Hub, the cameras, or other environmental factors. You'll find us always available to help you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
