What if you have brick walls and can't pull more wires? I feel like this isn't made for the european market

[@BeardedTechGuy]

Pretty neat idea! I may consider this for my kitchen hub max. I am curious what impact this would have on sound installed in a real wall though. Even with the show the sound profile is going to be changed because of the positioning of the wall as well as being inside the cavity of the wall.

[@TechWithBrett]

So far they sounded just fine. If there is enough interest maybe we will see one for the the Nest Hub Max.

[@sbradshaw1886]

Yes very bad idea and the max would be a waste of $$$. The subwoofer is on the back

[@applejuice2732]

Instead of using the Ethernet cable will the WiFi still work once installed in the wall? Thanks!

[@joshualhopkins]

Only using ethernet for power.

[@dylankaine9849]

You could easily and much cheaper just install a receptacle or a junction box in your attic and pull the wires up there. Not necessary to buy the extra Ethernet junk and cut more unnecessary holes in your walls

[@garyjeffersii6735]

For the Nest mount, I had a difficult time determining what exactly it was sitting on/against. It looked like it would make contact with those metal clips which could potentially tear the fabric around the speaker. That accurate?

[@TamilEelam1]

The echo show 5 looks like a mini TV. looks nice!

[@rdt7198]

These are now being installed in some of the 55 and over new construction residences here in California.

[@lanceinpants22]

I bought this as well. Biggest complaint is it doesn’t “click” in place. Doesn’t seem very secure. But a great idea!

[@TechWithBrett]

I thought that putting some time of non slip material at the bottom of the hub might make it a bit taller and have a better lock at the top.

[@CBCNamja]

@@TechWithBrett You could have it lock better at the top with velcro.

[@louieguzman6084]

Looks good in the wall..... but what happens with the rest of the wires? I want to place one in the kitchen.

[@joebrito2066]

Your wall is not attached to the rest of the house lol - awesome that I found this video I was looking for this solution. Thanks!

[@TechSteve]

Great video 👍🏾

[@amanberhe2201]

Installing the hub isn't the issue for most of us. Where and how to hid the power source is what most people search for ''how to mount''.

[@NandinLiav]

just to be clear, the ethernet adapter that plug into the Echo show 5, gives it both internet and power? or only power? becuase I would really want to connect my echo show 5 to ethernet and not through wifi. can I do it?

[@Magic_monkey_man]

I really hope they make one for the hub max

[@danielgrace7408]

What about poe injector instead? Would this work?

[@sjm2721]

Are the speakers not at the back and in the wall now though?

[@Vgp-rp4iu]

Did you watch the video? Had you watched it you would have heard him clearly say that the speakers are on the bottom and are not affected by mounting them on the wall.

[@Jellyfish-pfgGaming545]

I'm a team with Echo Show 5 Tech with Brett by the way it's me Henry I watch your videos all the time

[@elbrujomaya]

I mounted it on a piece of drywall like in the video, now I'm looking for where to put the drywall

[@shafinshah]

Do you really need to use an ethernet port? Can't you just use the power port and put it in a socket?

[@NullVoidgone]

Yeah I did this and put it in the wall but I believe uts not up to code

[@oa1583]

Question why didnt use a powerline via the wall plug sign is sent via the main wifi unit through the wall plug

[@ror.8245]

If you have extra tablets could you do basically the same thing with them & just leave them plugged in & mount them around the house? Are there any Extras that the Google Home Hub or Echo Show will do that a Tablet would not? I have 2 extra tablets, and I havent gotten to play with the Google Hub or Echo Show yet, so thats why I am wondering. I already have a SmartThings Hub, so no benefit there

[@jim8432]

I had the same idea a you . I dont see a differance ..

[@davidbrown8303]

Pardon the stupid question but do you have to have a smart phone to setup a echo show 5 ? I absolutely hate using a smartphone to set it up. Someone gives all the money for a echo then have to own smartphone.

[@TechWithBrett]

You actually don't need one. See the tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5Owc52wpst7hrs

[@ubacow7109]

Is the sound quality ruined from the design?

[@TechWithBrett]

On the Echo Show 5 it doesn't change as the speakers are not covered. The Nest Hub is very similar but sounded a tiny bit muffled.

[@speedracer9132]

The only way this could be better is if it swivels out to turn at an angle. I really want a base that could even be table top which allows the screen to come more perpendicular with the ground and allow easy swiveling

[@TechWithBrett]

Yeah that would be sweet.

[@morosousify]

Hi, Brett. This is Ariel from Florida. I'm building from scratch my smart home system and ended up seeing your video which is very helpful and easy to digest. In your video on building your smart home system left me some question. If really need the Samsung smartthings device beside Echo show5? Thanks for the tips

[@GarrettShaw1]

Any way to connect to an outlet or light switch in the wall?

[@ptnothere]

How big is the hole to cut out for the nest hub?

[@alec4672]

The way they power this is really stupid, it would make sense to power it over poe if the device had a network jack on it but both of them use wifi. Your better off cutting a 15 1/2" x 12 inch hole in the wall so you can frame in a niche with an outlet in the back (look up "wall niche outlet" on google images) then you can just mount the Nest in a board slightly larger then the niche and use it to cover the opening. This way also when the new nest comes out you only modify that small board for the new mount instead of cutting up the whole wall again.

[@paulholstein9448]

I would never consider making a permanent hole in my walls for a device that is guaranteed to be obsolete in less than 5 years when newer models come out.

[@A_Class216]

I was thinking this

[@joggelweekend]

Wow, are your walls made from paper?

[@annalynnmk]

Seems like a fake wall

[@markiej91]

Why do you use a switch? Google nest just needs power. Just plug it in the wall outlet?

[@garyjeffersii6735]

Right, but how does one do that when the power input is now in the wall without the finished product looking awful and without making an illegal splice in the wall?

[@ThatNerdJB]

They would almost have to pre install this in your house to look clean

[@alec4672]

Nah any skilled electrician could install this and make it look like new work, as long as the customer doesn't want it on an exterior wall it would be an easy job.

[@arnoutdevos3601]

[@blakenorthrup]

Do they make this for the larger Echo Show 8?

[@NewYears1978]

They said they won't make one because the speakers would be in the wall..I need the same thing :(

[@blakenorthrup]

@@NewYears1978 Yeah, that makes sense. Sucks though. Would look nice flush mounted.

@@NewYears1978 Yeah, that would look great. We have ours just sitting on the bar top now, but on a shelf would look sharp. Plus, be able to hide the power cable.

not install this lol

[@NewYears1978]

Wish there was one for the Echo show 8 :( Will someone who sells 3d printed on Etsy please make one since this company has said they will not make one.

[@eyhtwozed2606]

Why are the US houses walls made out of cardboard and not concrete?

[@charibellefertil]

Install was pretty easy. I didn’t have to use the clips. My hub didn’t lock in either. Therefore, I used 3M adhesive tape. Great mount!!!!

[@briangillick]

looks sketchy AF! lol.

[@CarlosRodriguez-ko2lq]

Why

[@rockinroller59]

How am I supposed to cut out a mounting hole in my brick wall?

[@TechWithBrett]

Great question. I would probably find another solution. Here are some other options: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqjWmoGoqtB-d5I

[@tonydolton4544]

It’s a mess and not designed to be mounted on a wall

[@kryptonite166]

Brett, I know it's a lot of topic; however, fans want to know, how is Rose (security camera reviewer) doing? In one of your videos or hers, somebody remark you'll are acquaintance. We can see be seen these days?

[@TechWithBrett]

She has decided to stop making KZbin videos and pursue other paths. She made excellent videos and hopefully I can start covering more security cameras but hers were always very well done.

[@kryptonite166]

Thanks so very much for the update! We will miss her.

[@Joseluis_Santos]

Any one power theirs to an existing light switch? Curious as to how

[@SD_Marc]

Those look nice and clean, but technology, especially Google (and Apple), is too mercurial to justify putting a hole in my wall. Next year they could decide you don't even need a hub for all this connected home stuff. Pretty sure you don't now. It's just a bridge too far in our rapid-update lives. I still use an iPod in my car.

[@TananBaboo]

Easy to hear because it’s not a real wall. The install doesn’t look great to me.

[@rickslife]

Yeah right. I don’t think so. .....And how long will these devices last? Not as long as the hole.
