Nest - features needed

[anna-]

Suggest following features to make the nest a real hub :

1. access to google drive documents and pictures

2. Read aloud all kind of text documents - pdf, Word etc 

3. Cast from handset to nest 

4. Continue on nest - example if I start something on YouTube - I should at a click of button be able to make that continue on nest. 

5. Photos / video / music play from Google drive or home media servers.

While above are software features , following could be examined from hardware improvement perspective going forward 

1. Explore larger screen options 

2. Build in temp and other environmental sensor. Alert for possible poor air quality 

3. Build in a night lamp, make it motion sensing.

Hi @anna- these are some fantastic ideas! I highly suggest you use the Feedback section inside the Google Home app. If you open up Google Home, and then click on the gear settings, you’ll see the option to leave feedback. Then just copy and paste what you wrote here and you have a much likelier chance that, it could be moved on to the priority list. The more times people make this specific feature request through the Feedback form, the higher chance we have to getting it moved up on the priority list. 

Thanks again!
