Google currently sells two smart displays: the second-generation, 7-inch Nest Hub and the first-generation, 10-inch Nest Hub Max. Both are packed with so many features that you might not be able to use them to their full potential yet.
EVERYTHING you can do with Google Nest Hub
If you only use your Nest Hub or Nest Hub Max to check the time and weather, watch YouTube clips, and chat with Google Assistant about random trivia, read on for a few handy commands you can add to your rotation. (These were tested on the second-gen Nest Hub, but should work on the Nest Hub Max as well unless otherwise noted.)
One reason you might prefer to set an alarm on your Nest Hub instead of your phone is that you have more options for waking up gently: Swipe up from the bottom of your screen, tap the alarm icon (the clock symbol), then choose “Set an Alarm” and pick a time.
On the next screen, you can choose a gentle alarm tone, but there’s also a Sunrise Alarm menu. Open that up and you can select a soothing gradient effect that will play across the display (and any connected smart lights), and you can also turn on a soothing pre-alarm sound.
