So does this clock have a camera

[@QuinnHay-os2fx]

why doesnt the weather or temperature show up?

[@pinky_fox452]

Can I change the ringtone for alarm?

[@jimwiegmans7815]

Can you set a radio/music alarm with it ?

[@poohscoota]

Yes

[@downpp2255]

Thank you, didn't understand how to setup the alarm.. "ok, Google" worked perfectly 👍

[@PavelLagoiski]

Does the clock show time if the wifi is off? I have the touchscreen version and it is useless if the wifi/internet is down.

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

Unfortunately not. without internet or power - this clock is completely useless.

[@MacGyv3r]

​@@BeforeYouBuyGuy Really. Well that's a huge deal breaker. Why didn't they built in a small battery to keep the clock going till the connection comes back. Where i live the wifi isn't stable. And that's pretty normal.

[@Tibs562]

I can't get it to connect to the WiFi for some reason. So I have a useless clock😢

[@deltakilo4108]

This video was better than the actual Lenovo one

[@zaccyqstar1096]

My clock is not showing up with the time, I’ve tried everything but nothing will work And when im trying to set up my smart clock and it gets stuck on the ‘set up google assistant’ section cause it wont load Help!

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

The clock won't show the time until after you have set it up with the google assistant. You should just be able to follow the steps in the google home app. If its not working on your phone, you could try using a different phone if you have one or a tablet. Good Luck! I hope you are able to get it working.

[@PeterMacPL]

Can it be power from USB port ? What is power supply specifications ?

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

Hi PeterMac83. You can only power this with the provided cable, the USB port only works to send power out. The provider power supply is 100-240v max .8A. Output 12v = 1.5A 18W. That is what is written on the power brick. I hope that helps out :)

[@dylanhennig5763]

Do you know how to find the Mac Address on the smart clock itself? I live in a place with the type of WiFi where I have to register it as one of my devices and whenever I press show MAC address it says I need to look on the physical device for it, but I still don’t see it

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

Apparently there is an issue with this clock randomly changing its MAC address. Im not sure how to look it up exactly, usually you can see the MAC address of any device connected to your network in windows network settings. Let me know how you go

[@yktime8074]

Can you set an alarm with it?

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

Yes this is easy to do. The easiest way is using voice commands. You can also set an alarm with the buttons if you need to.

[@giello1233]

Hi, Can you also set the alarm on your phone? If so, how?

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

Hi. If setting alarms using the clock with either voice and or buttons, the alarm will be on this device only. It won't set it to also go off on the phone. Hope that helps.

[@giello1233]

@@BeforeYouBuyGuy I understand, but can I set this alarm on my phone. So that I don't have to use voice commands or the buttons. Or are these two methods the only way of engaging the alarm?

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

@@giello1233 As far as I am aware, You cannot set alarms on the clock using your phone. The only options are using voice commands or the manual buttons. Most other google devices, you can only use voice commands.

Mine keeps dimming from 18:00 hrs, what do I need to do?

[@kirapyromantic4431]

Any idea why mine isnt showing a time?

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

If there is no time showing its usually because its not connected to the network. The device cant tell the time unless its connected, you could try resetting and reconnecting it. Good luck!

[@l33tify_86]

@@BeforeYouBuyGuy Yeah i have the same problem and It is clearly connected to wifi

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

Hmm yeah, doesn't sound great. Could be a software issue. I don't have this clock anymore but I had no issues with this at the time. Hopefully Lenovo fixed because without showing the time it's basically a brick

[@kirapyromantic4431]

So my power went out and it came back fine. It had something to do with restarting my router, although it was definitely connected. I work for a cell company so Im not technologically inept. Strangest thing ever

[@kirapyromantic4431]

@@l33tify_86 unplug the clock and your router. Plug the clock back in and then your router

[@JoshFollmann]

I am maybe looking at buying one and have a very simple question about this device: How does the time get set? None of the review or setup videos on this thing even MENTION setting the time, and it's obviously internet connected, so my assumption is that it simply gets that info from an NTP server or something and probably figures out time zone based on the address of the home. And if that's the case there is no procedure to set time because you don't need to. But it would be nice if someone would SAY that for prospective buyers. I'd love to have a clock that would go back to the correct time after a power outage, for example, and traditional atomic clocks don't really do the job because after a power loss they lose their time zone setting.

[@DS_2K]

Automatically from your phone when it’s connected

[@theycallmemrglass]

Thanks for your review, that was useful...and ah, shame it can't make calls! I was hoping it can. Can it still be used as an intercom to broadcast to other google assistant speakers in the house? So "OK google, broadcast to livingroom, dinner is ready!"...that possible?

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

Thanks for watching. Yah the broadcast features do work and will play your message across all Google speakers in the house

[@theycallmemrglass]

@@BeforeYouBuyGuy awesome. Thanks for replying. it is on a Black Friday deal here in UK for £19 and I just ordered it. TBH that is a worthy price for just being a digital internet clock with lovely aesthetics! The google assistant feature is a huge bonus and I think me and the family is going to love using it.

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

@@theycallmemrglass Good Price for sure! The Black Friday sales are crazy, my views are up 20-30 percent thanks to the sales so can't complain. Im sure you will be happy with it especially at that price

Need help..not working

[@MichaelKing-yu1wj]

We got this clock and it is way too difficult to setup and connect to an account. They should have it so someone can plug it into you phone or computer and hit enter or go. There is virtually no instructions. Waste of money.

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Just for your own information, all the google smart speakers such as google nest speakers and google hubs all connect in this same way.

[@stevec5000]

This review is mostly all lies! You can't do an update, you just have to plug it in and wait a couple of days for it to get done on it's own. There is no way to change from 12/24 hour format or turn on temp or weather that I can find. How did you get it to show the temp? Was that photoshopped?

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

This review is from around 3 years ago and was based on the product at that time. I can't control any changes to software or hardware made my the manufacturer after the fact. Good luck with your clock
