Use Nest Hub Max to control your smart home in one place! I tested the Nest Hub Max vs Google Nest Hub for a few weeks. In this video we'll look at their different features and sound quality to help you decide if the Max is worth it. I’ll also show you how I use the Nest Hub Max camera and smart home controls in my house.

Thanks for watching! Here are a few timestamps if you want to jump around to different topics: 0:40 specs 1:25 using the camera 2:06 video message using Face Match 3:31 gestures 4:08 nest camera 5:22 smart home controls 6:18 routines and updates

@dragonson72 4 года назад

@Smart Home Solver, If you have Smart Things, there is an App that allows you to do Routines using your voice, you should be able to link the Nest Hub with this

I have a problem with my google home mini and it won’t respond the to ok or hey google. None of the features work like connecting or the mute button. I tried the reset button but it only shows a green light when I press and hold the lights. Do you know what to do about this?

@TjFruichantie 4 года назад

Great video, love the honest, unbiased feedback! Where does something like this fit into your smart home setup? Did you replace your Echo Dot in your kitchen with the Nest Hub Max or do you have both of them in your kitchen?

@SmartHomeSolver 4 года назад

Thanks! Haha I actually just moved my Echo Dot to the other side of the kitchen to replace the Amazon Fire 8 in the show mode dock that was there. We still use both Google Assistant and Alexa so that's why I kept both.

@josemanuellastra2488 Год назад

Great device, cool to have the addition of the nest cam, the face recognition and the gestures, but I don’t like that Google Assistant just gives very short spoken responses when you ask for WEB information and when I tell her to read more it refuses, and for people with visual disabilities like me is very deficient, tryed it with my android Huawei tablet and with my Sonos Roam speaker but with absolutely no luck. . Is it a way to sort it out?

@katycodella817 3 года назад

Thanks for explaining the video message thing, I thought the same as you, that I could leave video messages to my young kids or non-techie husband. Unfortunately, they don't have Duo...obviously kids won't have Duo if they are too young for a phone, unless you know something I don't.

@JasperJanssen 2 года назад

I think you probably could make them a google duo account and *only* use it on the nest hub max though.

@Bazsoton 4 года назад

Nest cam and hardware is good but after nest been bought by google the software including nest app have a numbers of issues, not recording to the cloud, connection problems, Wifi drops etc.

Does Nest Hub Max have on board assistant actions like the new nest mini / Pixel ? If not do you know if a firmware update could enable it for the max.

@thomasmcclain8116 4 года назад

I have several Nest devices in my home and Google devices. In your video, you mentioned that Google is doing away some of the features of Nest accounts? I haven't noticed any changed or discontinuation of any Nest Services. Can you elaborate on some of the things that have been changed? Thanks!

@nvrdwn3140 4 года назад

I'm 7.5 minutes in anxiously awaiting to hear how much better it sounds than the small one.

@BeardedTechGuy 4 года назад

It sounds better, the bass is more powerful and overall the sound profile just seems more full to me. A video comparison of the sound probably won't do it justice honestly.

@ smart home solver do we need to pay for the nest cam a subscription for it to work or is it free

@SmartHomeSolver 4 года назад

If you want to view a video timeline from the Nest Cam on your hub, you need to pay for the subscription. There should be a free trial when you first get it.

Hey there! idk if anyone else have these problem but i just got a bunch of Google Home/Nest mini to place around my house so me and my family could use it. The problem is that idk why they can't recognize the devices to use the voice match, i invited them to be part of my home but when they select the device it's appear as no availiable so can't use their own spotify account and stuff.

@fredrik_g 4 года назад

Quite like your videos, but in my book getting products for free is a form of sponsorship. Thus, claiming unbias is a stretch for me.

@SmartHomeSolver 4 года назад

I can see how you would view that could be a form of sponsorship. I buy a decent amount of smart home devices and companies send them to me as well. I honestly view them the same because the devices I agree to have companies send me are one's that I would buy myself. I am not afraid of saying negative things about products that companies send to me. I've had companies not pleased with what I said and that's okay. There are other RU-vidrs in the smart home space who get paid for reviewing products and to me there's a big difference from what I'm doing.

@richystar2001 4 года назад

This is the cheapest smart home option.... A true offline system would cost 10k$+ and is not voice controlled... Privacy issues aside.. This is the cheapest option. For security and infotainment and device control.. Google nest adds the most value per dollar.

@basdfgwe 4 года назад

Your morning routine where it shows your commute is fairly dumb. I wake up at 6 and leave the home at 8, so it sez the traffic is clear ... At 8 it's a different story - so I don't really see the point of this.

@craigleverenz 4 года назад

I still find reviews a bit biased when you only talk about what the device can do and don't delve into what the device can't do. For example: Watching RU-vid is a pretty woeful experience if you don't know the exact video you're looking for. Also, don't expect to be able to watch Netflix. Also, there's no Web browser. Honestly, for most people, you would get better value for money buying a tablet than a Google assistant device with a screen which is just a device for Google to serve you with more ads!
