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.
Co to jest?
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.
Organizować coś
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.
w użyciu
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. Idealny.
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 (przeciągnięcie z góry) jest imponujący. Obejmuje użyteczną funkcję przestrzenną, która grupuje wszystkie gadżety w każdym obszarze. Programu pełnego głosu zarządzania głosem jest również – „Hej Google, wyłącz światło sypialni”.
Nie ma tutaj wbudowanego Zigbee (jak Amazon Echo) ani Z-Wave. Ale House Hub może zintegrować się z termostatami gniazdowymi, a także może pokazać zdjęcia z odmiany kamery Nest. Jest tutaj lista kompatybilnych kamer bezpieczeństwa, ale również sprawdziłem, czy obecnie działają tylko kamery gniazda.
Chociaż w świecie obsługiwanego Wise House Equipment, Listing House Google wciąż jest znacznie krótki od Amazon Echo.
Wydaje się, że istnieją pewne problemy z bezpieczeństwem z obecnym oprogramowaniem układowym, najlepiej jest to coś, co Google może szybko załatać.
Podsumowując
Sekcja dla asystentów domowych z ekranem jest zajęta. Google został już uwzględniony w podobnych ofertach z partnerstwami na temat Lenovo Wise Display, JBL Link View i LG WK9. Oprócz tego jest to nowy program Amazon Echo w drugiej generacji, a także portal na Facebooku. GHH jest jednak tańszy niż wszystkie powyższe, a jego agresywny punkt kosztowy o wartości 139 funtów.
Wyróżnia się również w kilku innych metodach. Jego mniejsze wymiary są zdecydowanie zaletą w sypialni, a także sprawia, że jest to idealny rozmiar na nocny stojak. Brak aparatu jest mądrą decyzją, a także znacznie ułatwia online.
Nowe centrum Google House ma odpowiedni hałas, a także może przyjemność z wyświetlanych zdjęć. To radio zegarowe, alarm, licznik odliczania telewizora, a także ma natywne uzyskiwanie dostępu do usług, które wykorzystuję najczęściej. niezła robota Google.
