Nest hub 2, all alarms ring on next hub device, and ONLY on nest hub device!"

[DarkTower]

Regardless of the device I use to set an alarm, the alarm only ever rings on the Google nest hub. Ex; I set an alarm on my tablet, it rings on the nest hub and only on the nest hub! Same for my phone. No matter where I am or what device I use to set an alarm, the alarm will ONLY ring on the nest hub! How can i get the alarm to ring on multiple devices or at least get to choose the device it rings on? or even have it ring on the device I set the alarm on?

Hi DarkTower,

That certainly hasn’t been easy for you. Let’s get this sorted out. An alarm can only be created on the device it was set on. Asking Google Assistant to create an alarm for another device is yet to be supported. How do you set an alarm on your tablet or phone? Was it via Google Assistant voice command or manually through the Clock app?

Regards,
Alex

It turns out that anywhere in my house. If I say the instructions , the picks up on my device, My tablet or Phone may display the prompt. However, because the nest hub hear's me too. It will take precedent and be the device where the alarm is set. If I speak very quietly in a different room. The next hub does not pick it up. I also tested this from the garage and backyard in those cases the device. That I was talking to, the one in my hand was where the alarm was set. but if I spoke in even a regular total voice inside the house, the nest hub picks it up at every room.

I apologize, it was the Google Assistant. I was using to set the alarms in every case. It really was your comment that set off a series of connections in my head and made me realize what was happening. Thank you very much
