Description

The Google Nest Hub (2nd generation) is a smart device manufactured by Google and is a continuation of the first Google Home Hub. This device combines the functions of a smart speaker with a touchscreen, giving you the ability to control your home, display your photos, watch videos, listen to music, news, and much more.

With the help of the voice command "Hey Google", you can perform many functions without touching the device. You can search for information on the internet, listen to music from your favorite apps and use the device to control other smart devices in your home, such as thermostats, lights, and air conditioners.

Additionally, the touchscreen of the Nest Hub (2nd generation) automatically adjusts to the ambient light, offering an improved experience.

The Google Nest Hub is aimed at all users who want a smart home assistant to manage their daily lives. This device is ideal for those who wish to control their smart home with a simple gesture, while also being able to perform various tasks such as playing music or videos, reading news or recipes, displaying photos, and much more.

Ease of Entertainment

Watch your favorite series and movies on Netflix, watch videos on YouTube, listen to music with the upgraded speaker, relive your best moments from Google Photos, and enjoy many more entertainment features.

Control your smart home

With the Nest Hub you can turn on the lights, see who is at the door, and play your favorite music. Connect your compatible smart devices to the home network and control them with ease. Tap the Nest Hub and simply say “Hey Google, open the lights”.

Stay on schedule

The Google Nest Hub helps you organize your day and keep track of your daily schedule. Get updates on the weather and news that interests you, send the message you want to all Nest speakers and displays simultaneously, and set reminders, alarms, and timers.

Sleep Better

The Sleep Sensing technology uses motion and sound to analyze how you sleep. Learn when you go to bed, when you wake up, and how long you have rested. Every morning, you can see your sleep summary on the Nest Hub. 

Simple and ergonomic

The simple design and subtle colors of the Nest Hub fit any room. The display adjusts to the ambient light, so it is neither too bright nor too dim. And it is made with the environment in mind – the casing is made from 54% recycled plastic.

Security and Privacy

The Nest Hub respects your privacy. You can turn off the microphone whenever you want with the dedicated switch. You can also delete the Google Assistant history whenever you wish.

What is a Smart Hub?

The Smart Hub is a device that serves as a central control point for your smart home devices. It typically connects to the internet and uses wireless communication protocols such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Thread to communicate with other smart devices, such as smart lights, thermostats, security cameras, and more.

The Smart Hub can be controlled via a smartphone app, a web interface, or even through voice commands using a virtual assistant like Google Assistant. It can also automate actions based on user preferences, such as turning on lights when someone enters a room or adjusting the thermostat according to the time of day.

One of the advantages of using it is that it allows for easier control and automation of multiple devices from a single interface.

Overall, a Smart Hub can help simplify the management of a "smart home" and enhance the user experience.

How does it help me make my home smarter?

  • Remote Control: With the smart hub, you can control your smart home remotely using your mobile phone or computer. This allows you to manage your home even when you are not there.

  • Energy Saving: The smart hub can coordinate your devices and help save energy. For example, it can control your smart lights and turn them off automatically when they are not needed.

  • Automation: Automation is a key factor in the operation of a smart home, and smart hub devices significantly contribute to the creation of automations. This may include creating automatic rules for turning devices on and off, adjusting the home's temperature, setting lighting, and much more. Automation helps you save time, reduce energy costs, and make your life easier. A smart hub can facilitate the creation of automations in your smart home, as it acts as a central controller for your various devices. It can connect your devices and coordinate their functions using built-in sensors and other technologies. It can also work with other smart home systems, such as the smart lock or smart camera.

Advantages of a Smart Hub

A smart hub connects your smart home devices and lets you manage them from one place, such as your phone or tablet. Some of the advantages include:

  • Convenience: Control multiple devices from a single app, making everyday management simpler and more efficient.
  • Time-saving: Automate and schedule actions across your home, such as adjusting the temperature or turning devices on and off without manual input.
  • Increased security: Manage security cameras, alarms, and other safety devices remotely to keep your home protected at all times.
  • Cost-saving: Control lighting and thermostats more efficiently to reduce energy usage and lower your energy bills.

What should I consider before buying a Smart Hub?

  • Compatibility: Ensure that the smart hub you choose is compatible with the devices you have in your home. Check the specifications of the smart hub and make sure it supports your devices.
  • Platform: Ensure that the smart hub supports the software platform you wish to use. Some smart hubs use different platforms, so make sure you have the correct platform for the smart hub you want to purchase.
  • Security: Ensure that the smart hub you choose has good security practices and has been updated for the latest security threats. Smart hubs are connected to the internet and can be a target for malicious attackers.
  • Features: Ensure that the smart hub you choose has all the functions you need.

Connectivity with Bluetooth, Thread, and Wi-Fi

  • Bluetooth: Connects to smart devices via Bluetooth and has a range of approximately 10 meters.
  • Wi-Fi: Connects to smart devices via Wi-Fi network. Supported by smartphone.
  • Thread: A wireless protocol developed by a group of companies, designed to allow its protocol devices to communicate even when the WiFi network is weak.

        6 months of use and it works great, sometimes it doesn't catch my voice but that's something you get used to, excellent also as an alarm clock, I use it to turn lights, air conditioner, and other devices on and off.

        One of the best devices for smart home. It has made things much easier for me and connects easily with other smart devices or sockets. The screen is very convenient, it has a good, powerful speaker - unfortunately it does not support Greek but if someone knows English this is not a problem.

        Useful... but it loses a lot of 'intelligence' compared to a smartphone with Gemini. I got it to simplify my Google Smart Home, but in the end, it seemed to make my life more difficult. On the Pixel 8 Pro (with Gemini 2.5), voice commands work perfectly... but the Nest Hub often doesn't understand the same things. When they coexist in the same space, the Hub 'wins' over the smartphone and messes things up, even with simple commands like 'turn off the lights in 5 minutes', ending up searching the internet for no reason.

        Similarly, with almost most commands, it struggles to understand and I have to repeat the same command... Something that doesn't happen with the mobile assistant. I would only recommend it to someone who doesn't have a smartphone with the new AI assistants.

        Additionally, because Google doesn't officially sell in Greece, the Greek language is not supported. Finally, within the first two weeks of use, I noticed some freezes.

        I have had it for a long time, over a year. In the last few months, it has been freezing a lot, slow to execute commands, it doesn't connect to the phone, the cable at the back has frayed a bit and I don't know where I can find another one. It's been 2 months since the power went out once and when it turned back on, it was in Spanish and it doesn't connect to the phone to change the language. There may be better options available now. On the positive side, it has never gone a day without the programmable alarm going off, in that it is incredibly reliable

        Easy to connect and use, and does exactly what I wanted..
        We mainly use it to see the baby camera and for music, while we really like the appearance of our photos..

        Unfortunately, it does not recognize Greek commands (or Greek names of singers, for example)...

        As long as it worked well, it was fine, but one day it started rebooting by itself, and if you're out of warranty, nothing can be done. It's a problem that many people have, even with new ones, and ultimately the only solution is replacement. Which means that Google simply doesn't want to admit that some are defective.

        I hope they release a new series because it is now a bit slow in some areas.

        I use it for a Thread (Matter) network as it has the capability to function as both a Thread border router and a Thread controller for very basic functions like open - close, without sophisticated operation scenarios, etc. It plays music and video that you request from YouTube Music and YouTube respectively with sound quality that pleasantly surprised me. I haven't used the sleep monitoring function since it doesn't concern me, and the only thing I didn't like is that it often lags while scrolling through the menu like a 10-year-old Android phone. Finally, the screen is very high quality.

        Good quality construction. The sound volume is OK for its size. It's not for throwing parties, but it's fine.

        On its own, it doesn't do much; everything is controlled from the phone via the Google Home app, and in collaboration with the Google Nest, it gets the job done. You can do the same job just from the phone without the Nest.

        The Google Home app is for users without many demands... or with a lot of patience and understanding.

        For the limited things it does, it is very good. However, for everything else, it is not very useful. It does not listen very well to Ok Google, it has issues with the cameras with Xiaomi, overall if you have it to play some Spotify, it's fine. It is not suitable for more than that

        Very good device, the speakers are loud and have relatively good sound. Of course, they cannot be compared to regular speakers, but for simple music or video and conversation with Google Assistant, they are great.

        Like other Google products, their connectivity is very easy but requires a mobile phone. Unfortunately, either the processor or the software is a bit slow (e.g. animations freeze or it takes a while to open a result from Google).

        I use it in English, so I don't know if Greek works and how well (use Google Assistant on your phone to try it out).

        I would recommend it for a bedroom, kitchen, or any other location where you need Google Assistant and a screen to view results or control smart devices. If you want something simpler or don't want the screen, I highly recommend the Google Nest pebble 100 times more.

        A beautiful display from Google with several extra features from the Google speaker, due to the screen.
        Easy connection via GH.
        Very good sound, much better than the regular Google speaker.
        With the ZigBee sensors for temperature/humidity that I have, it does not display the temperature, it stays in the loading state, and it does not display the climate devices, although they appear normally in the app. Maybe this specific issue will be fixed with an upcoming update.
        In general, it works correctly, I have no complaints.
        As for the price in Greece, it has gone up a lot, that's why I bought it from a Bulgarian eshop for €62.50, hence the 4 stars.

        Especially at the price of 50 euros, it is worth every penny and more.
        In addition to everything else it offers, it can be used as a baby monitor, especially if you connect it to a Google Nest Camera.
        Truly the best I have tried (and I have tried many cameras and baby monitors)

        I don't remember how I lived without this. I turn on the a/c, lights, look for my phone (essential). We even had a (children's) party with music from it, very good speaker.

        The only thing that bothers me a little is that the Xiaomi camera doesn't stream well on Nest, but I consider this to be a camera problem. The next one will be tp link and the problem is solved!

        Analogically, for its price, it is preferable to the simple speaker. You have central - optical control of all devices and it is a fairly good media playback station. The interaction is better than the simple speaker. The sound is quite satisfactory. However, some additional features require premium accounts (meaning payment). Anyway, just as a photo frame, it is worth it (through Google Photos, you can update the photos very quickly, without memory cards and USB sticks).

        It does not support 100% of the devices!
        Attention, in order to establish the connection, the device must switch to English.

      Όχι, δεν λαμβάνει εντολές στα ελληνικά. Είχα ρωτήσει τη google και δεν είναι στο πρόγραμμά τους ακόμα η υποστήριξη της ελληνικής γλώσσας.

      Description & Specifications

      The Google Nest Hub (2nd generation) is a smart device manufactured by Google and is a continuation of the first Google Home Hub. This device combines the functions of a smart speaker with a touchscreen, giving you the ability to control your home, display your photos, watch videos, listen to music, news, and much more.

      With the help of the voice command "Hey Google", you can perform many functions without touching the device. You can search for information on the internet, listen to music from your favorite apps and use the device to control other smart devices in your home, such as thermostats, lights, and air conditioners.

      Additionally, the touchscreen of the Nest Hub (2nd generation) automatically adjusts to the ambient light, offering an improved experience.

      The Google Nest Hub is aimed at all users who want a smart home assistant to manage their daily lives. This device is ideal for those who wish to control their smart home with a simple gesture, while also being able to perform various tasks such as playing music or videos, reading news or recipes, displaying photos, and much more.

      Ease of Entertainment

      Watch your favorite series and movies on Netflix, watch videos on YouTube, listen to music with the upgraded speaker, relive your best moments from Google Photos, and enjoy many more entertainment features.

      Control your smart home

      With the Nest Hub you can turn on the lights, see who is at the door, and play your favorite music. Connect your compatible smart devices to the home network and control them with ease. Tap the Nest Hub and simply say “Hey Google, open the lights”.

      Stay on schedule

      The Google Nest Hub helps you organize your day and keep track of your daily schedule. Get updates on the weather and news that interests you, send the message you want to all Nest speakers and displays simultaneously, and set reminders, alarms, and timers.

      Sleep Better

      The Sleep Sensing technology uses motion and sound to analyze how you sleep. Learn when you go to bed, when you wake up, and how long you have rested. Every morning, you can see your sleep summary on the Nest Hub. 

      Simple and ergonomic

      The simple design and subtle colors of the Nest Hub fit any room. The display adjusts to the ambient light, so it is neither too bright nor too dim. And it is made with the environment in mind – the casing is made from 54% recycled plastic.

      Security and Privacy

      The Nest Hub respects your privacy. You can turn off the microphone whenever you want with the dedicated switch. You can also delete the Google Assistant history whenever you wish.

      What is a Smart Hub?

      The Smart Hub is a device that serves as a central control point for your smart home devices. It typically connects to the internet and uses wireless communication protocols such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Thread to communicate with other smart devices, such as smart lights, thermostats, security cameras, and more.

      The Smart Hub can be controlled via a smartphone app, a web interface, or even through voice commands using a virtual assistant like Google Assistant. It can also automate actions based on user preferences, such as turning on lights when someone enters a room or adjusting the thermostat according to the time of day.

      One of the advantages of using it is that it allows for easier control and automation of multiple devices from a single interface.

      Overall, a Smart Hub can help simplify the management of a "smart home" and enhance the user experience.

      How does it help me make my home smarter?

      • Remote Control: With the smart hub, you can control your smart home remotely using your mobile phone or computer. This allows you to manage your home even when you are not there.

      • Energy Saving: The smart hub can coordinate your devices and help save energy. For example, it can control your smart lights and turn them off automatically when they are not needed.

      • Automation: Automation is a key factor in the operation of a smart home, and smart hub devices significantly contribute to the creation of automations. This may include creating automatic rules for turning devices on and off, adjusting the home's temperature, setting lighting, and much more. Automation helps you save time, reduce energy costs, and make your life easier. A smart hub can facilitate the creation of automations in your smart home, as it acts as a central controller for your various devices. It can connect your devices and coordinate their functions using built-in sensors and other technologies. It can also work with other smart home systems, such as the smart lock or smart camera.

      Advantages of a Smart Hub

      A smart hub connects your smart home devices and lets you manage them from one place, such as your phone or tablet. Some of the advantages include:

      • Convenience: Control multiple devices from a single app, making everyday management simpler and more efficient.
      • Time-saving: Automate and schedule actions across your home, such as adjusting the temperature or turning devices on and off without manual input.
      • Increased security: Manage security cameras, alarms, and other safety devices remotely to keep your home protected at all times.
      • Cost-saving: Control lighting and thermostats more efficiently to reduce energy usage and lower your energy bills.

      What should I consider before buying a Smart Hub?

      • Compatibility: Ensure that the smart hub you choose is compatible with the devices you have in your home. Check the specifications of the smart hub and make sure it supports your devices.
      • Platform: Ensure that the smart hub supports the software platform you wish to use. Some smart hubs use different platforms, so make sure you have the correct platform for the smart hub you want to purchase.
      • Security: Ensure that the smart hub you choose has good security practices and has been updated for the latest security threats. Smart hubs are connected to the internet and can be a target for malicious attackers.
      • Features: Ensure that the smart hub you choose has all the functions you need.

      Connectivity with Bluetooth, Thread, and Wi-Fi

      • Bluetooth: Connects to smart devices via Bluetooth and has a range of approximately 10 meters.
      • Wi-Fi: Connects to smart devices via Wi-Fi network. Supported by smartphone.
      • Thread: A wireless protocol developed by a group of companies, designed to allow its protocol devices to communicate even when the WiFi network is weak.

            6 months of use and it works great, sometimes it doesn't catch my voice but that's something you get used to, excellent also as an alarm clock, I use it to turn lights, air conditioner, and other devices on and off.

            One of the best devices for smart home. It has made things much easier for me and connects easily with other smart devices or sockets. The screen is very convenient, it has a good, powerful speaker - unfortunately it does not support Greek but if someone knows English this is not a problem.

            Useful... but it loses a lot of 'intelligence' compared to a smartphone with Gemini. I got it to simplify my Google Smart Home, but in the end, it seemed to make my life more difficult. On the Pixel 8 Pro (with Gemini 2.5), voice commands work perfectly... but the Nest Hub often doesn't understand the same things. When they coexist in the same space, the Hub 'wins' over the smartphone and messes things up, even with simple commands like 'turn off the lights in 5 minutes', ending up searching the internet for no reason.

            Similarly, with almost most commands, it struggles to understand and I have to repeat the same command... Something that doesn't happen with the mobile assistant. I would only recommend it to someone who doesn't have a smartphone with the new AI assistants.

            Additionally, because Google doesn't officially sell in Greece, the Greek language is not supported. Finally, within the first two weeks of use, I noticed some freezes.

            I have had it for a long time, over a year. In the last few months, it has been freezing a lot, slow to execute commands, it doesn't connect to the phone, the cable at the back has frayed a bit and I don't know where I can find another one. It's been 2 months since the power went out once and when it turned back on, it was in Spanish and it doesn't connect to the phone to change the language. There may be better options available now. On the positive side, it has never gone a day without the programmable alarm going off, in that it is incredibly reliable

            As long as it worked well, it was fine, but one day it started rebooting by itself, and if you're out of warranty, nothing can be done. It's a problem that many people have, even with new ones, and ultimately the only solution is replacement. Which means that Google simply doesn't want to admit that some are defective.

            I use it for a Thread (Matter) network as it has the capability to function as both a Thread border router and a Thread controller for very basic functions like open - close, without sophisticated operation scenarios, etc. It plays music and video that you request from YouTube Music and YouTube respectively with sound quality that pleasantly surprised me. I haven't used the sleep monitoring function since it doesn't concern me, and the only thing I didn't like is that it often lags while scrolling through the menu like a 10-year-old Android phone. Finally, the screen is very high quality.

            Good quality construction. The sound volume is OK for its size. It's not for throwing parties, but it's fine.

            On its own, it doesn't do much; everything is controlled from the phone via the Google Home app, and in collaboration with the Google Nest, it gets the job done. You can do the same job just from the phone without the Nest.

            The Google Home app is for users without many demands... or with a lot of patience and understanding.

            For the limited things it does, it is very good. However, for everything else, it is not very useful. It does not listen very well to Ok Google, it has issues with the cameras with Xiaomi, overall if you have it to play some Spotify, it's fine. It is not suitable for more than that

            Very good device, the speakers are loud and have relatively good sound. Of course, they cannot be compared to regular speakers, but for simple music or video and conversation with Google Assistant, they are great.

            Like other Google products, their connectivity is very easy but requires a mobile phone. Unfortunately, either the processor or the software is a bit slow (e.g. animations freeze or it takes a while to open a result from Google).

            I use it in English, so I don't know if Greek works and how well (use Google Assistant on your phone to try it out).

            I would recommend it for a bedroom, kitchen, or any other location where you need Google Assistant and a screen to view results or control smart devices. If you want something simpler or don't want the screen, I highly recommend the Google Nest pebble 100 times more.

            A beautiful display from Google with several extra features from the Google speaker, due to the screen.
            Easy connection via GH.
            Very good sound, much better than the regular Google speaker.
            With the ZigBee sensors for temperature/humidity that I have, it does not display the temperature, it stays in the loading state, and it does not display the climate devices, although they appear normally in the app. Maybe this specific issue will be fixed with an upcoming update.
            In general, it works correctly, I have no complaints.
            As for the price in Greece, it has gone up a lot, that's why I bought it from a Bulgarian eshop for €62.50, hence the 4 stars.

            Excellent, it easily connects with both Wi-Fi devices and the mobile application. The only downside is that you need to know English well because it does not include Greek language, but other than that, it is a gem on its own. It deserves five stars

            This review is about the manufacturer colour: Chalk

            I have it here for three months and it does its job very well. If you have bad internet, sometimes it needs a restart. Its screen is quite good and of high quality. It has powerful speakers. It has no issues with connecting Nanoleaf and Xiaomi smart plugs (Mi Smart Plug). I highly recommend it.

            Especially at the price of 50 euros, it is worth every penny and more.
            In addition to everything else it offers, it can be used as a baby monitor, especially if you connect it to a Google Nest Camera.
            Truly the best I have tried (and I have tried many cameras and baby monitors)

            I don't remember how I lived without this. I turn on the a/c, lights, look for my phone (essential). We even had a (children's) party with music from it, very good speaker.

            The only thing that bothers me a little is that the Xiaomi camera doesn't stream well on Nest, but I consider this to be a camera problem. The next one will be tp link and the problem is solved!

            Analogically, for its price, it is preferable to the simple speaker. You have central - optical control of all devices and it is a fairly good media playback station. The interaction is better than the simple speaker. The sound is quite satisfactory. However, some additional features require premium accounts (meaning payment). Anyway, just as a photo frame, it is worth it (through Google Photos, you can update the photos very quickly, without memory cards and USB sticks).

            It does not support 100% of the devices!
            Attention, in order to establish the connection, the device must switch to English.
