Hi

[@GregBennett]

Somehow with all those "Hey Googles" in the video none of my speakers responded.

[@nathanielwilliams6042]

Your speakers are broke

[@dimschlukas]

Mine as well. but if I pause the video right after she says "hey google" my devices reacted. So I guess they did something to prevent it from activating.

[@shashankdegloorkar]

Mine as well, i was surprised how none of my devices woke up with that word.

[@Mr.J_Aruba]

I just wish it had a thinner bezel.

[@Krispykevin_27]

You would think that the second Gen would have less bezels and a little bit better but it legit just has like two new features

[@dblumene]

The bezels are not thin because of the Soli chip

[@DanielOrtegoUSA]

I have two of these together with the original Max. I also have nine original Apple HomePods, and I run them side-by-side throughout my place. As good as the HomePods are for music, I prefer using the Google Hubs for everything else. Google is more responsive and provides direct answers vs. Siri ‘I found this on the web, and I’ll send it to your iPhone.’

Right? I have a HomePod mini & I know what u mean.

Hi Team, 1. Both sleep sensing and gesture controls are not working in India. Let me know if this is only a software update which will get enabled eventually?

Interesting. I wonder if Nest audio being used for surround sound for the chromecast?

[@PumpkinPails]

No, it's terrible. I bought two Nest Audios to use in paired mode and the audio doesn't sync with the video. There's like a whole second delay, which makes them unusable as surround sound. It would be pretty cool if they could figure out how to fix that, but I'm not holding my breath.

Very good. Think of the opportunity for older people who may have difficulty seeing small letters on a screen and who have difficulty understanding technology in phones. Now the elderly can talk to the technology, turn on the radio, look up facts, turn on/off lights, etc. with their voice. I think it's a good invention if you think about how it increases the elderly's opportunities for increased quality of life.

[@marcus_cole_2]

Wondering if you could do a video update on everything that Google has changed and removed from this platform. Specifically, these three features, primarily the first two. 01: In their most recent update, Google has removed visual responses on Google Nest Hubs and other home products with screens. For example, if you ask it to spell a word like "dyslexia" after the update, you will only receive a minor title response for three seconds, without a visual large format response lasting for more than 30 seconds. This means you won't see the word "dyslexia" spelled out on the screen anymore. Many dyslexics, including myself, relied on this feature, and it was a significant reason for purchasing this tool, which offered a desktop spelling system with a picture frame and other features. 02: Another change in the recent update is the removal of ethernet support for the 7 and 10-inch models. Previously, there was a micro USB on the white cover of the 7-inch model that allowed you to connect a USB to ethernet adapter. This feature provided a reliable IP address with fast response and eliminated the need to reacquire an IP address. Unfortunately, this capability has been disabled in the latest update. 03: Additionally, Google has removed good quality synchronized audio in their recent update. Previously, if you used ethernet, you could synchronize all your devices, including the Mini and standard Home speakers, without signal drops or random reacquisition issues. However, with the removal of micro USB ethernet support for the 10 and 7-inch models, achieving reliable synchronization has become challenging. Now, you are limited to using Wi-Fi for all devices, which is less secure. As a result, latency has increased, affecting the quality of audio responses. The unit's response is no longer accurate, even when I am in close proximity to the device, while other units further away respond instead, causing confusion. 04: To summarize, Google has removed support for dyslexics, eliminated secure network access via ethernet, and made it difficult or impossible to achieve perfect audio synchronization with zero milliseconds delay. There may be more changes that I haven't discovered yet. 05: So, for me, my 7-inch Google Nest Hub with a screen has now become primarily a picture frame, timer, and a minor home automation visual unit. In fact, since I have a computer in front of me that can perform all of these functions, except for visual spelling and audio synchronization, the practicality of the Nest Hub has significantly diminished. Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences with these changes in the comments.

[@hometechUK]

Biggest update is this has THREAD hub built in. The replacement to ZigBee but not sure when it will be enabled? BUT no mention in video, WHY? Also better sound quality.

Can it track your sleep from across the room?

[@madebygoogle]

Hey Janne, thanks for reaching out. Sleep Sensing on Nest Hub (2nd Gen) uses Motion Sense to track the sleep of the person who's closest to the display. Motion Sense, powered by Soli, uses a low-energy radar to detect movement and breathing. Other sensors in the Nest Hub (2nd gen) detect sounds, like snoring or coughing. The device can also detect environmental factors, like light and temperature in the room. More details here: goo.gle/45Dzlyb

Thus, people will buy your tablets and use them as tablets let's say for watching movies and web surfing.
