Nest Hub - Clock on inactive, screen off in dark

KentuckyMC

Hey all,

I've a simple question. Is it possible to set the clock when there is inactivity, and when it's dark, the screen is off? Or isn't this a feature yet? 

Should be nice to have something like this, so 3 states:

- normal screen

- inactive screen (clock)

- dark screen (screen off)

 

Thanks in advance!

Hey KentuckyMC,

 

Thanks for reaching out.

 

When a Google Nest display is not in use, it can quietly keep you entertained. You can choose from your favorite albums in Google Photos, enjoy the art gallery, or select from a variety of full-screen traditional and abstract clocks to show while the device is idle. Check this guide for more information.


Hope this helps!

 

Best,

Alex

Hey KentuckyMC,

 

I wanted to follow up and see if you are still in need of any help. Please let me know if you are still having any trouble from here, as I would be happy to take a closer look and assist you further.

It was not exactly what I was looking for. My question was if there was an option to have the clock during the day on inactivity. And during the night when it's dark (or outside some time)  the screen can be off. I don't think that's an option yet?

Hey KentuckyMC,

 

Thanks for letting us know and sorry if this is not the answer you're looking for. You can adjust the brightness of your display using these steps:

 

  1. Open the Google Home App.
  2. Select the Nest Hub display.
  3. At the top right, tap Settings > Display.
  4. Locate the Auto-brightness offset slider.
    • To increase the brightness, move the slider to the right (Brighter).
    • To decrease the brightness, move the slider to the left (Dimmer).

We're looking for ways to improve and we'll take it as feedback. I also suggest that you send feedback using your devices by saying, "Hey Google, send feedback," or by following the steps on this link. Let me know if I can assist with anything else, otherwise I’ll be locking this thread after 24 hours.

 

Cheers,

Alex
