    Does everything you'd like in a hub. Screen has a nice clear panel. Streaming Photos, the Google Assistant works great. Music sounds descent for a hub. Thought I could view my ring cameras from it but it doesn't which was alittle disappointing

      Hi RodB, thanks for highlighting the features you liked with Nest Hub (2nd Gen), including the clear display, sound quality, streaming quality with photos and how the Google Assistant works great for you. However, we do understand how disappointing it can be when a 3rd -party product like Ring cameras, doesn't work with your Nest Hub (2nd Gen). It's possible to connect Ring devices to the Nest Hub. However, it will have limited support which are basic features such as starting a new recording and asking the last time the doorbell rang. We recommend following the steps on this help link on how you can set up your Ring cameras with Nest Hub (2nd Gen) by following this help article: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9159862

      We'd like to assist you further with any other support needs you may be having with Nest Hub (2nd Gen). Please feel free to reach out to our support team here:

    It's pretty good but it seems a bit slow when accessing other applications. Not sure why, I have contacted google and they said this is "normal." I guess maybe they need to update their processing chip in this device.

    Too many issues with voice control

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this specifically to control my home lighting and audio. I am an Android user since Doughnut and have used almost 2 dozen different Android devices including phones, tablets, STBs and speakers. This is the first device i have used in over a decade that has had issues recognizing and responding to voice commands. I have it fully updated and it sits within 10 feet of my router, but constantly gives an error "something went wrong, please try again in a few seconds" when asking it to do basic tasks like turn on lights. I even disabled voice recognition on my other devices to ensure it wasn't getting confused by multiple devices trying to respond, but the issues persist. Definitely returning it.

      Hi there, BigPoppa. Thank you for sharing your review on Nest Hub (2nd gen). We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing some challenges with using voice commands on the device. We suggest that you retrain your device to better recognize your voice as this may help with voice control. We also suggest adjusting the Hotword sensitivity as it may also be helpful with the issue. You may follow the steps below to help improve your experience:

      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 or if you've tried these steps before, we recommend that you reach out to our support specialists and let us help find a better resolution for you. Please contact us on our Google Help page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Ease of set up and use. I use it everyday. My 2 year old Grandson loves when I google his favorite Cars movie song and we dance together. I also use it when cooking to find a recipe! Very helpful with a weather report in the morning also. I love it!
