In March 2021, Google launched the updated version of the Nest Hub, and with it introduced two exciting new features: “Sleep tracking” and “gesture controls”. These additions have further improved the usability and functionality of the device.

The built-in Google Assistant is one of the main strengths of the Nest Hub. It makes the device a user-friendly product that fits perfectly in a variety of environments, including kitchens and bedrooms. It is designed to recognize your voice, improving family functions and providing a smooth user experience.

However, it is important to note that the Nest Hub has some limitations. The system can be perceived as relatively locked, and the ability to create routines is sometimes limited to the language set by the user. This limitation can affect the ability of the device to adapt to the needs and preferences of specific users.

Despite these limitations, the Nest Hub remains an excellent voice assistant and a versatile device with many useful features. With its ability to handle various tasks and easy integration into the smart home, it is a product that can improve your everyday life in many ways. With its latest update and the addition of features such as “Sleep tracking” and “gesture controls”, it continues to be an interesting and relevant device within the smart home category.
