Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions The display itself is easy to plug in, but getting real benefit means connecting it to Wi-Fi, linking an account, and adding each smart home device. A family member can do this with the manufacturer's instructions in about half an hour, so guided setup fits. A professional isn't needed unless the person needs help choosing how to use it.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The Nest Hub Max is a smart display that lets you run a home by voice while also seeing what's happening on screen. It shows captions, video calls, visual timers, and smart home controls, so you get visual feedback alongside spoken replies, which helps someone who is deaf or hard of hearing. It can control Nest-compatible lights, locks, cameras, and thermostats, and its gesture Quick Phrases allow touchless control for someone who finds touching a screen or speaking hard. It works with the Google Assistant, so the devices you want to control need to be compatible.
