    Need SMART Tec help with set up

    This has great potential, however, the You Tube videos do not address the glitches I have for set up with SMART lighting and especially with voice match and video calling for family members. I will need to have Best Buy support out to the house to help me. Not sure if they do house calls with the tech support package.

    Awful sound, like the typical tries to make too much bass from too little speaker... so instead of sounding clear and real it just sounds like a muddy thump. I'm not even an audiophile but I switched to this from an Alexa that was connected to a Marshall speaker so it was pretty obvious immediately what a downgrade this is. Since there's no aux line out on this or any other Google Nest product there is no way to fix that either.. just stuck with worse sound. "Thanks" , Google. ,,|,, Setup was frustrating, this thing is really making me reconsider if I even want a voice assistant around the house if they're all going to be sources of disappointment and frustration as often as they might be helpful. Why do we all put up with frustrating tech???

    Returned it - Doesn't Connect to Enough Devices

    We got this hoping to also use it as a hub but it's very limiting - doesn't connect to most devices outside of Google's. It's easy to setup and use; however, it would have been an expensive speaker - which we don't need - so we returned it.

    How is it something so big can’t be smarter than the doorbell every time I access the video I just stare and spin five minutes it’s OK I got a great Internet connection around the house but this seems like it just has a problem and when you talk to it you got a killer two or three times.

      Hi,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear that you're having an issue viewing your doorbell camera on Nest Hub Max. Your experience with our devices and services is important to us.

    Git this for my nest cameras but really never use it. Not fond of a camera in the house for someone to hack into and watch and listen to everything so camera is turned off. Everything I need is on my phone to see.

    Originally I purchased two smaller nest hubs but when the newer, large screen Nest Hub Max came out, I invested in repurchasing. The larger screen was more suitable for my elder parent who wanted to keep watch of the front door (doorbell). It worked for about 6 weeks. Then some kind of change must have been made on the Google side and we can no longer view the front door. Google support has taken over 10 hours of my/my brother's time in trying to troubleshoot without resolve. Both Nest Hubs were purchased over 30 days ago so I have no recourse to return. VERY DISAPPOINTED... over $400 spent for both hubs and we cannot use them for the purpose I purchased them for!

      Hi blondcapt,

      Thanks for leaving your feedback with us. We're sorry for this inconvenience and we understand such an experience can be disappointing.

      There are a few things to check to stream video doorbells on Nest Hub Max:

      1. Confirm account has been properly linked. If using Nest Hello Doorbell, confirm the correct Nest account is being used. Confirm that the user’s Nest account is an Owner and not a family member account. Family member accounts do not currently work with Assistant integrations. They should use the credentials of the “Owner” to add it.
      2. Turn on visitor announcements in the Nest App.
      3. Enable Personal results and Home screen & notifications in the Nest Hub Max display's setting within the Home App.
      4. Turn Do not disturb off in the Nest Hub Max display's setting within the Home App.
      5. Unplug the power cord from your Nest Hub Max for a minute then plug the power cord back in.

      If the above steps don't resolve your issue, we're always here to assist you further here : https://support.google.com/googlenest/contactflow Nest
