Review: new Google house Hub – perfect wise screen For Your Bedroom?
The MadeByGoogle event last month introduced the Pixel 3 as expected. however there was a surprise or two as well, not least the new house Hub.
Mikä se on?
The Google house Hub is a wise house voice assistant with a 7 inch (1024 x 600) touchscreen display. The whole system is a fairly neat 18cm wide x 12cm high x 7cm deep. It turns out this is a near-perfect size for a bedside table.
I ordered it on release at £139 and it currently comes with a YouTube premium free trial offer of 6 months of video as well as music services (T&Cs apply).
The hardware listing includes 2 far-field microphones, Bluetooth 5.0, 802.11b/g/n/ac (2.4 GHz/5 Ghz) Wi-Fi as well as a ‘full range’ speaker. The built-in ambient EQ light sensor adjusts the colour temperature of the screen (similar to Apple’s true Tone feature) in addition to dimming as well as brightening it when the ambient light changes.
Round the back there’s a volume rocker on the right hand side as well as an on/off mute switch for the microphones along the top edge, plus the DC power socket for the neat wall-wart PSU that’s include. You can likewise manage the volume as well as brightness by swiping up from the bottom for on-screen controls.
The speaker housing / stand of the system is covered in fabric like the other Google house gadgets with 4 colours choices – Chalk, Charcoal, Aqua or Sand. There’s no IP score here, not even for splashes, so finest not to location it as well close to a kitchen area or bathroom sink.
Perustaa
Setup needs Android, iOS, Mac, Windows or a Chromebook, plus the the Google house app (you may have it already if you are utilizing a Chromecast). It’s a simple guided procedure as well as takes around 5 minutes.
During initialisation there was a firmware update as well as a possibility to configuration the picture albums to share on the display. I like Google pictures as well as utilize it instead of Apple’s service. At very first I selected the ‘recent highlights’ choices as well as while it did pick a few of my pictures that I’d have expected (left), it likewise showed me pics of products I was selling on eBay (right) as well as other rubbish. So much for Google’s AI. In the end I altered it to albums that I selected manually instead.
käytössä
The Google assistant can now utilize its Voice match function to recognise private users.
The market bumph tells us that the system homes a ‘high trip speaker with 2″ driver + double 2″ passive radiators’ as well as that it ‘delivers remove highs as well as rich bass’. Hmmm. The speakers is completely adequate, as well as truly rather great for voice assistant duties, particularly in a routine sized bedroom. There are mid-range frequencies right here however as you’d expect, not truly any type of bass. If you want much better noise you can always pair it to a Bluetooth speaker though. The system can likewise type part of a multi-room audio configuration with other Google house devices.
You’ll discover yourself back in that Google house app to modification things like the music service you want to utilize with the house Hub. The app is quite terrible though. It’s not at all friendly as well as settings as well as choices seem buried in some extremely unintuitive places.
A function I truly like is broadcast Message. record a quick voice message on your phone, or state “Hey Google, tell everybody [your message]” as well as it gets pushed to all the gadgets around the home – “Dinner’s ready!”
The kitchen area is one more obvious place for these gadgets as well as with its screen the GHH has some awesome utilizes right here too. “Show me recipes for poultry curry” brings up a step by step guide – or – “how do I chop onions” gets you a YouTube video to enhance your technique.
As well as YouTube you can cast Plex to the screen as well which is extremely nice. now it feels like something that would benefit from a built-in battery that would enable you to bring it around the house. So far casting is restricted though. Netflix doesn’t work – please make this a thing Google!
Google have made the right decision not to included a camera here, making it much easier to online with in our bedroom. as well as when you turn the lights out the screen dims down as well as switches to a dark clock face. I mean truly dark. Täydellinen.
I’ve likewise tried it as an alarm clock as well as it’s extremely impressive. You can likewise configuration Routines. For example state “Hey Google, great morning” to introduce a series of events – Take your phone off silent (only when initiated via an Android device). change lights, plugs, thermostats etc. tell you about today’s Weather, Commute, calendar as well as Reminders. inspect out the Google house Hub features page for more.
Smart house Controller?
We’re currently in temporary lodging after selling our house, so I’ve had extremely bit chance to set up anything yet.
That stated the wise house coNtroller (pyyhkäisee ylhäältä) on vaikuttava. Se sisältää hyödyllisen avaruusfunktion mukaan, joka ryhmittelee kaikki laitteita jokaisella alueella. Ohjelman täyden äänenhallinta on myös siellä – “Hei Google, sammuta makuuhuoneen valo”.
Täällä ei ole sisäänrakennettua Zigbeeä (kuten Amazon Echo) tai Z-aalto. Mutta House -napa voi integroida pesätermostaatteihin ja voi myös kuvata kuvia pesäkameran lajikkeesta. Täällä on luettelo yhteensopivista turvakameroista, mutta olen myös tarkistanut, että vain pesäkamerat toimivat tällä hetkellä.
Vaikka Google House -luettelo on tuettuja viisaita talon laitteita, se on edelleen kaukana Amazon Echo One -sovelluksesta.
Nykyisessä laiteohjelmistossa näyttää olevan joitain tietoturvaongelmia. Ihannetapauksessa tämä on jotain, jonka Google voi korjata nopeasti.
Yhteenvetona
Talon avustajien osasto näytöllä on kiireinen. Google on jo sisällytetty vastaaviin tarjouksiin kumppanuuksien kanssa Lenovo Wise -näytössä, JBL Link View ja LG WK9. Sen lisäksi se on lisäksi uusi 2. Gen Amazon Echo -näyttely sekä Facebook -portaali. GHH on kuitenkin halvempi kuin kaikki edellä mainitut, aggressiivisella 139 punnan kustannuspisteellä.
Se erottaa itsensä myös muutamissa muissa menetelmissä. Sen pienemmät mitat ovat ehdottomasti etu makuuhuoneessa ja tekevät siitä täydellisen koon yötelineelle. Kameran puute on myös viisas päätös, ja myös verkossa on paljon helpompaa.
Uudessa Google House -keskuksessa on riittävästi melua, ja se voi nauttia vain sen näyttämistä kuvista. Se on kelloradio, hälytys, laskenta -ajastimen televisio, samoin kuin alkuperäiskansojen pääsy palveluihin, joita eniten käytän. Hienoa työtä Google.
