    I purchased 2 of these on sale and was looking forward to having Google devices in my home. I could not get either one to connect properly with my network or my phone. I tried ipad and an android too. No luck. I saw online conversations that indicated others may have had the same issues I was dealing with. I tried following all the tips including resetting several times. Still wouldn't work. I picked up the Amazon Echo Show 8 to see if it would be better. The Echo show joined my network with no issues and setup was a breeze. I returned the 2 Nest Hubs.

    Got this on a sale. Was hoping I would get camera alerts to it, but the only one that alerts is if someone rings the doorbell.

      Hi there, Mike. Thanks for choosing Nest Hub (2nd Gen). Getting alerts from your doorbell on Nest Hub is a good indication that it's working fine. Unlike the larger version of the Nest Hub Max which has built-in cameras, Nest Hub (2nd Gen) doesn't have one. You may need to purchase an extra smart camera, like the Nest Cam (Battery) or Nest Cam (Wired, 2nd Gen) to get camera alerts on Nest Hub with the different locations inside or outside your home. We recommend checking this help article to learn more on how you can set up a smart camera with Nest Hub: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7529598

      If you still have some questions, please consider reaching out to our support channels using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
