Google Nest Hub 2nd Gen Smart Home Speaker and Lutron Caseta Smart Dimmer Kit Collection

Defective and impractical

I am an avid smart home user and was excited to use this item as an optional “hub” to control my Google Nest thermostat, Google Nest video doorbell, and a bunch of inexpensive smart devices in my home that I manage through the Google Home app. If this device worked, it would be perfect for my needs as a long time user of smart devices and of Google Home/Google Assistant (even across Android and iPhone devices). Unfortunately my hub does not work at all, and has presented me with one error after...

Google bricks these things with faulty updates

Hub Max, which I had for 15 months, had been my favorite device until I woke up one morning to the screen being stuck with the G logo. I rebooted, the same. I did a hard reboot, and it made the problem worse…black screen. I tried all recommended steps, including buying a new power cord - nada. Tech support, although friendly, could do nothing. After speaking with his supervisor, offered only a $25 credit to the Google store. I am infuriated. 3 months after the warranty runs out, and a defectiv...

Screen goes dark

I have 2 of these the 1st generation which is still working fine and the 2nd generation which started to get a dark or shaded screen then it just got darker and started to blur out the background now you can't see anything. I hadn't even started using this new one until after a year after purchase so it's out of warranty. I loved using the nest hubs just wish both were working .

Its works great with the NEST CAMERA.

It took a bit to get it set up. Maybe I did something wrong but things were not obvious, little instructions, it was not connecting. But then it all magically worked. I wanted this little screen to be by the front door so I could see who was there from the NEST doorbell camera without having my phone with me. Works great. Very clear. I am annoyed that when screen goes dark after xx hours, I have to tap screen and a couple more things before I get camera back. It should immediately open w...

Buy a different screen if you want live monitoring

Streaming Wyze cam to Hub is extremely glitchy. Crashes the hub daily. Freezes for 15 seconds at a time every minute when it is "working" on the screen. Voice commands work well, but I needed live streaming and this package doesn't solve that problem, tho being sold together would mislead me to believe. It isn't possible to view the multi-cam view available in the app on the Hub, and well, glitchy streaming and no multi view makes it a useless screen for me. There is no way to auto play cams to ...

Good Products Separately - Disfunctional Together

I think both products are good. I like the google hub and I like the products that Wyze makes... for the most part. They do tend to be finicky and lose connections from time to time though. Also, if you are looking for a camera that works well within a proprietary app then Wyze is great but its integration sucks between the different google, apple, and amazon eco systems. To live stream video, you basically have to use their own app since you can't pull up video on the google home app and if you...

Disapointed but will work.

For something bundle and sold by Wyze I expected more intragration. While it is possible to view the cameras and even the sensors it is not easy to get to and does not show multiple things at the same time. Ideally Google would add an app at work the same or similar to the app on the phone, that would be more useful and wouldn't take a whole other set up. I assume this hasn't been done so that google command work but I would rather the access of the Wyze app. Granted I knew this would probably b...

Not seamless and does not work!?!

No instructions on linking your wyze products to Google hub. Which is what I bought a package of. Once I went to YouTube to find a video it was slightly easier yet still confusing on what was being linked. Once I linked all cameras in the exact same method only one works and in a completely different manner than any of the others. Not sure where to go from here because there is no support and all I wanted was a monitor that I could go to to view my cameras at a second home. So basically whiney f...

Great Google Voice Assistant with Display

I've had this Nest Hub 2nd Gen for a month now, but I have been using a Nest Hub Max for about a yearUnlike my experience with my Nest Hub Max, which was surprisingly slow at the first few months till it magically got better, my Nest Hub was quick and snappy right out of the box. Adding it to my Google Home app was a breeze. It took just a few seconds and everything that I can see on my Nest Home Max automatically showed up on my Nest HubDisplay quality is great, although a little too small if y...

Slow

Nest hub is able to view my Wyze cameras, play youtube videos, listen to Spotify, and control my Nest thermostat and smart plugs. However, the processor and RAM are not sufficient to run the apps properly and I have had to restart the Hub numerous times as it will get "stuck" when transitioning from the clock screen to opening the apps menu. Openinging my camera views on my Wyze camera takes a long time. Also, why does google have to make their AC plug so big? It covers up another socket. I like...
