Hey everyone,
Your Nest devices just got more streamlined, just in time for summer. From your favorite channels in the Live tab on Chromecast with Google TV*, to a more natural way of getting help from Google on Nest Hub Max, the latest Nest updates make life at home a little more helpful. We’ve rounded up our favorite tips for each device below, so without further ado, let’s dive right in!
*Chromecast with Google TV requires a TV with an HDMI port, a Wi-Fi network, a Google Account, a nearby electrical outlet, and a compatible mobile device.
Chromecast with Google TV:
- Use your voice to access your watchlist. To see your watchlist, just press the Google Assistant button on the voice remote and say, “show me my watchlist”.
- See your favorite channels in the Live tab. In the Live tab, you can now ‘star’ your favorite channels so you can see them right at the top of your TV guide on Chromecast with Google TV.
Nest Hub:
- Just look and talk to your Nest Hub Max. Look and Talk is a new additional way to get help on your Nest Hub Max. Once it’s turned on, just look at your device and ask away— no “ Hey Google'' required. To learn more about Look and Talk check out the help center article.
Nest Cams:
- New ways to control your Nest devices. In addition to Google Assistant-enabled devices, you can now use Amazon Alexa devices to control the latest Nest camera and doorbells. For more, check out the community blog post.
Nest Doorbell:
- 4th of July ringtones: Celebrate Independence Day with two familiar songs: “God Bless America” or “The Star-Spangled Banner”. For a little extra fun, try the fireworks theme tone, available now till 7/7/2022.
