    Not very functional. Sure its a voice assistant but most apps dont allow you to browse audio or video options. Ex: netflix, youtube, spotify and half the request i ask it come back with generic answers. If i ask it to play my playlist on spotify called "my favorites" it plays something random like favorites of 2023.

    A fair attempt at integrating home video cameras

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this Nest Hub Smart Display mainly to display my seven home Zmodo cameras since my other Google device (a home speaker) did not have this capability. The command "Hey Google display my (location) camera" works as expected but I would say this integration is not perfect: the video feed disconnects at times requiring that one repeat the same verbal command. I wanted this solution to avoid occupying my iPad continuously for this function. The iPad's advantage, however, is that it uses the Zmodo app directly and never suffers any disconnection.

    Works as advertised, however, the motion sense is not as practical outside of a bedroom. I have mine in my kitchen, and any light changes would pause music or timers when I'm moving about.

    Purchased this on sales for around $50. Used it for about 2 weeks and unfortunately it was not for me. Nice picture frame for Google photos - but limited functionality as no apps are available.

      Hi there, thanks for taking the time to reach out to us. We're sorry to hear that you already chose to return your Nest Hub (2nd Gen).

      If you haven't checked out the full smart features for Nest Hub (2nd Gen), here are some of the rich features that may pique your interest:
      - Catch up on Netflix shows, watch YouTube videos, listen to music on the enhanced speaker, and more.
      - Hands-free help at home. Ask Google to play music or a video, pause a song, control volume, and more.
      - With just a tap – or your voice – control thousands of compatible smart devices from one central display.
      - Find help with your busy home. See your calendar and create reminders and to-dos.
      - Wind down to soothing sounds at bedtime and wake up gently to a Sunrise Alarm.
      - You can use Quick Gestures to control many Nest Hub features. Play or pause a song or video, snooze an alarm, and stop a timer. Quick Gestures use Motion Sense to detect when your hand moves – without a camera.

      We're still hopeful that you will reconsider using any of our Google Nest products again in the future. We'll certainly do our best to provide you with a better experience. You're always welcome to contact our support team using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
