Google Nest Hub Timer Sync (Feature Request)

[Saggz]

Hey Google,

I recently purchased a Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen) and so far I am satisfied with it. I replaced a cheap $20 digital alarm clock radio with the $129.99CAD plus tax Google Nest Hub. I was able to connect my smart bulb to it and can control the light with voice commands. I plan on adding more devices in the future but one thing I am having an issue with is the timers. I start a timer on my Nest Hub and I assumed that same timer would show up in the Google Clock app on my smartphone, but that is not the case. Being able to control timers and alarms on my smartphone or smartwatch (Galaxy Watch 4) is something that would be really nice to be able to do.

This is just a suggestion to the Google Nest Hub people but I imagine there are many people who would also find this feature useful. I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G and I use the default Samsung clock program but if this feature were to be added to the Nest Hub, I would switch to the Google clock app instead, if it were able to sync the timers and alarms with my other devices running Google clock.

I was able to find the timers hidden in the Google Home app, but it seems like you can only view the remaining time, you can't actually interact with them. If it's possible to get the Google Nest Hub to use Google Clock, that would be great. In all other regards, I am happy with this device. Google could release an update to Google Nest Hub with this feature hopefully. 

If you agree with me and would also like to see this feature added, please post in support of this. Google may be able to ignore one or two people but they can't ignore a group of us!

Thank you!

Hello. Thank you for your help. It seems to me that the feedback type you sent a link to is more for error reporting feedback because it tries to send system logs with it. I saw this feedback option before posting but thought that it was more for error reporting and bug fixing instead of feature suggestions.

Hello. I have done that as well but it seemed to me like that feedback area was for bug reports and the like because it tries to send your system logs with it. Nonetheless, I've sent my suggestion through that feedback option so hopefully the right people will see it, though I doubt they will care about a suggestion from a single user, which is why I wanted to post on here as a sort of petition with multiple users but no one else seems to care about it, which is a shame.

Thanks for your help anyway

Hi Saggz, 

Thanks for responding.

I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and suggestions on how we can improve your experience with us. No worries, I'll make sure that the team will know about this. Lastly, thanks for your efforts on submitting one using the Google Nest Hub. Sending feedback from it for features and bugs are pretty much the same as it will both notify us for any reports sent.

Best,

Princess
