      Hi benny, thanks for trying out Nest Hub (2nd Gen). It's unfortunate to hear that you are experiencing performance, touch screen and 3rd-party support issues with it, and we apologize for any disappointment you may be having.

      Resetting Nest Hub may be helpful with the issues you are experiencing. A factory reset will reset your Nest Hub to its default factory settings, and erase all data. To reset, check on the back of Nest Hub, press and hold both volume buttons together for about 10 seconds. Your Nest Hub will let you know that it's resetting.

      As for the 3rd party integration issue, we recommend checking if the smart product you are using supports the Google Assistant here: https://assistant.google.com/explore

      If you need further help, we recommend reaching out to our support team for further troubleshooting and isolation. You may contact us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Not necessarily a product issue directly but google is failing with this product. It constantly crashes and restarts! I am reading it’s a software issue with no fix.

      Hi AosNex, thanks for sharing your honest feedback. The Nest Hub (2nd gen) is the updated version of the Nest Hub. And like its previous version, it has no Nest Cam built-in, though we added some features. We always listen to what our customers like you share with us to better understand your preferences and needs. So we released the Nest Hub Max with a built-in camera which will help your busy family stay in touch and on track. Leave video messages and make video calls. Check in on home when you’re away with the built-in Nest Cam. Share reminders and to-dos. Everyone views their own calendar, commute, and more with just a glance. And enjoy Google Photos, YouTube TV, videos, and music on the 10-inch HD screen with stereo speakers. Check this link for more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9334359

      If you come across any questions or concerns about the Nest display, let us know by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Not happy with the item. I purchased the 2nd generation because it’s supposed to have the app launcher, only to find out some of the 2nd generation nest hubs do not and no one knows why and Google can’t do anything about it.
