- 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
@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?
I got my Nest Hub Max the day it came out and I love it. Gesture control is awesome
I never thought of getting a pixel but all these great features makes me want to go all in with google
I can stop a train with my face, so I've been told. :)
I have the Nest Hub Max, and the Home Hub. Both are excellent devices.
Very well explained thank you
Awesome video thanks for much for sharing.
That camera is pretty great quality! Nice!
Thanks mate.
Ive been pondering the nest hub max. Have you checked out the Nest Wifi?
I showed up in a Smart Home Solver video! Wow! Thanks Reed!
Thank you Brian for making great content! I learn a lot from your videos.
Cute kids just brought a home hub loving it so far thanks for the tips
Hey, very helpful video! Does the face-recognised personalised routines work yet? Curious because I'm trying to decide between the Pixel tablet vs the Hub Max.
I just got one. Now that I have one I want to get two more, one for the kitchen and one for the bedroom. I love that the cameras can be used as a security system.
Noticed the electronic song you played towards the end. Check out "Power Glove - Playback"! I think you'll like it.
Just a request. I would like to know how replace the failed wyze cam max drive idea, if you have any thoughts
With regards to the broadcast feature is there a way to target a specific speaker so I don’t broadcast to the entire house but rather just maybe the basement speaker.
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?
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.
Smart Home Solver is one of the best content creators for smart home tech. I actually created my own channel Wright Near Home for more videos on smart home technology.
Are you going to do a comparison to whatever Amazon Echo has for their video doohickey?
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.
there's nice i have for 2 years works perfec i do same like you show on you'r video
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!
6:25 i can actually see the Island on which my cabin is located! Awsome
That's really cool!
nice one thnxx
Hello. This hub works well with the eufy doorbeel devices? When we want to see the camera.
Nice job as always
Thanks!
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?
Can I connect a wireless headphone to Google Nest Hub Max? Thanks!
OK, I just want to know how you got your Wyze cams on here!!! I can't get mine to sync up. :(
Niceeee video!!
Is it possible to get the hub to read out the cards and text notifications that come on screen. As I don't have great far vision. And have to get up and go closer to read it.
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.
I think you probably could make them a google duo account and *only* use it on the nest hub max though.
7:09 Is it still not possible to trigger routines with facematch by the end of 2021?
i wonder if you will ever be able to integrate ring cams on this device.....
How do you connect it without migrating. I already have nest cameras
Gracias., Please what we need for security and homeowners and disable want to be safe all cameras and insures for the house with minimum payment please., Hope you understand Gracias God Bless
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.
I can't wait for the day when we have more kid control and I can listen to a full song too.
I would love for Google to just not let my kids play things that aren't appropriate for their age...
So, I set up my Google Hub Max with face match but nothing happens when I am close to it. Can you show what is supposed to happen when you are within range?
What tv or what device do you use to control it from hub? I currently have a smart plug for my tv but to control volume and channel would be super rad!!
I use Harmony Hub, but an Android TV should also work.
I've never been able to get my wzlyze cams to work with google home
I'm 7.5 minutes in anxiously awaiting to hear how much better it sounds than the small one.
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.
For your smartcam, it used to work to say 'show ' somehow this got broken.
Instead say ' hey google' 'stream to
Like 'stream frontdoorcam to max hub'
or show on
In case you get CZcams video lol
Please google make routines for more languages ( dutch or spanish plz)
What should I do to control my TV via Google Home Hub?
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.
@ smart home solver do we need to pay for the nest cam a subscription for it to work or is it free
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.
Ok thank you for replying back so as long as I dont want timeline I can check in on my living room when am a way just not time line rite ..and on my way to buy Samsung smartthings and some ge smart light bulds am jumping on the smartphone band wagon lol just about to start I already own Google home speaker
Hi fantastic video again what I don’t like about nest I do have the nest hello video doorbell is the notification in the US you get the parcel notification in the UK we don’t I am not happy about that and the monthly prescription price is the same in the US
Thanks! Yeah I can see why that would be frustrating that it's not available. It should be less money if they exclude features.
damn that 10 month old can move!
Right? She's speed crawling to my robot vacuum since she loves messing with it.
Hey man make a video with walmart smart home equipment. Like the momentum and mercury
Reed, do you use Active Tiles for Smart Things?
No I haven't used it yet. Do you use it?
@@SmartHomeSolver No, I have been watching YTs on it and knew you have used Web CORE in the past and I am looking to get deeper in automation and didn't know which one you liked better
It's on my list of things I want to look into more. My schedule is changing so I'll have more time now and hopefully I can look at that soon!
@@BookTube0ne webCoRE was mentioned at SDC19 the other day so thats going to have some good support when SmartThings moves to the Rules API. We'll see what happens to everyone else.
Looks like such a dangerous burglar haha. Thanks for the great summary!
I'm Love Google Nest Hub
Is there a smart button that will connect right to google home? That you can use with google routines? This stuff is all so confusing.
I love Google nest hub max ❤️
Wish it would work more reliable. My smart display from Lenovo fails all the time. Takes multiple trys to get it working
The hand gesture isn't working, what can possibly be the issue? I'm literally starting at the screen and nothing :(
Where did you get that batman light?
It's an IKEA lamp, and I added some paper for the Batman symbol.
@@SmartHomeSolver Nice
why isn't the google assistant ambient display customizable? This turns the whole "smart display" into a really dumb one.
I want to see the weather, big digital clock, calendar, lists in card/widget view...
What would be your prefered control device - Google Pixel tablet or Nest Hub Max?
Why do you have a camera in "Girl's room?" 5:55
maybe she is a baby girl
@@ssaini5028 You can also set the cameras to only record when you are out, so it could be general home security.
WISH THEY HAD A DARKMODE CAUSE THAT WHITE BACKROUND IS UUGGGGLLYYY!
Dark mode would look so nice!
By Big Google Nest Hub Max
Yes but it still doesn’t work with Ring
Because Amazon ≠ Google competition means something
So this is basically the functionality of our current android and tv remote?
"Burglars won't army crawl like my 10 month old" they do if you set up your laser grid right
"less expensive nest aware"... You forgot to add only if you have more than 4 devices.... Otherwise having 24/7 5 days recording for $5+$3+ etc is a better deal.
What?
So should I buy a Google nest hub now or wait
I think it's worth it to get it now.
Maybe wait for black friday?
@@Sircinus3005 My experience has been the discounts will start rolling out around Black Friday , prime day, etc. Since it's new they might discount less but worth a try to save a bit.
@@MrJoeSixpac cool.
Ok Thanks
First one!!
OMG I have enough screens in my apartment. Why cant they just make them with closable screens or better yet, no screen at all. I feel like I'm living in a Television store.
I cant wait for projectors to replace computer screens.
They make just the speakers.
I have the smaller Nest Hub in my bedroom. I think they should make a refresh to the smaller Hub and add a camera.
Update this video please
How about WhatsApp?

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.
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 CZcamsrs in the smart home space who get paid for reviewing products and to me there's a big difference from what I'm doing.
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.
Noooo dont
Use less when no internet
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.
Problematic making duo calls. Please go deep. ESP contacts.
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 CZcams 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!
Nothing made by google is worth having. I have their mini and they are dunber than alexa
