If you read this thread, you will understand that there is no calling home devices on Nest Hub 2nd Gen. Many people consider buying this smart speaker display because it supports smart home system.
One of the features that you will love when using Nest Hub 2nd Gen is calling home devices. It allows you to make calls between devices you have. Therefore, many users use more than one device in their home. Google has replaced this feature with ‘broadcast’ option.
The assumption that Google as an arrogant corporation is rising from this problem. Literally, by removing this feature, the corporation does not care how to communicate with their customers. Even from that thread, you can find that many of the users thought Google want to exit this market. They speculate that the giant corporation just focusing on steady attrition of features.
What is Calling Home Devices Feature on Nest Hub
From the thread we have linked above, the community volunteers even cannot do anything. Just hear with no solutions or insight to offer. Since there is no calling home devices on Nest Hub 2nd Gen is gone, it means that you cannot call Nest Hub display even in your kid’s room.
This feature even was a great way to help you call other rooms in your house. Even when you want to call home just to send a reminder via Nest Hub if a family member did not respond your text or those such things.
Most users use Google Nest Hubs for all rooms in their house with their senior mom’s house to enjoy this call feature. It is the most convenient and fastest way to communicate in their household, with everyone. Well, it is hard to imagine if you have to use the broadcast feature while cooking just to ask everyone about adding some spice to the food. It means that you must wait for everyone’s respond and it cannot help at all!
The funny thing when this feature is no longer exist, like when you are preparing dinner or breakfast. But you must use the broadcast feature. It means you will wake up everybody in your house.
Definitely, broadcast is not the best feature to replace calling home devices on Nest Hub. Broadcast means that the entire network of your Google devices will get the message, not a single speaker.
Many users feel unhappy with this new update. But, it is still possible to leave your feedback. If Google does not take further actions to respond this feedback, we are sure that their users will look at other convenient smart speaker display options in the market.
