NEST Home Hub
The ultimate home assistant with a display

A Unique Digital Photo Frame

The Nest Hub primarily serves as a unique smart photo frame. Thanks to the stunning 7" display, every picture looks printed. Furthermore, easy integration with Google Photos means all your pictures from your phone are instantly on the frame.

Thanks to the ambient light sensor, the display perfectly adapts to surrounding lighting. That way, photos are beautifully displayed even at night without blinding you.

Your favorite recipes always at hand

With the Nest Hub, just say "Hey Google, how to bake a homemade pizza" and Google will instantly show you recipes on the screen. Pick the right one, and the Home Hub will guide you step-by-step through the baking process. It will simply read the first step, wait for you, and when you're done, you say "Hey Google, next step"... A unique recipe feature is that if it says to let the dough rest for 30 minutes, Google will immediately offer to set a timer. It's that easy.

Play YouTube videos, Spotify music, or TuneIn radio

The Nest Hub is an ideal companion for YouTube or Spotify lovers. Just say "Hey Google, play videos by HomeSystem on YouTube" and the Nest Hub will start playing. If the small display isn't enough, the Nest Hub, when properly connected with a Google Chromecast, allows you to cast anything directly to your TV.

The NEST Hub offers a simple way to make your daily routines more pleasant. Just say "Hey Google, good morning" and Google will give you the most important morning information: weather forecast, traffic on your commute, world news, or simply start playing your favorite music. Naturally, when connected to a Smart Home system, you can integrate device control into these routines, like opening blinds, turning on heating, or starting your coffee maker.

A voice assistant wherever you need it

The Nest Hub, combined with other Nest and Google devices, is far more than just a smart display. You can truly live alongside the Google Assistant. Any questions you need answered—about sports, translations, weather, traffic, or general knowledge—Google will answer them.

Calling, alarms, notes... A million features can't be summarized in one description. Through Google Home, you can make phone calls, play the same music in every room, set alarms, leave messages, or create shopping lists. It's now standard that the Google Assistant can control any Smart Home system. Once properly connected to Fibaro Home Center, Homey, Vera, etc., you can use your voice to control your smart home features and trigger scenes.

Comparison with Amazon Echo

Comparing these two voice assistants quickly is not easy. However, if you are a user of the Android ecosystem (Phone, TV, Android Auto...), Google offers deep integration. Also, since YouTube and other services are owned by Google, integration is highly detailed. Moreover, the Google Nest Hub acts as a Chromecast device on your network, so you can cast your screen, photos, or music directly from your mobile phone or tablet.
