• The best Google Home and Nest Hub deals

  • When you say “Hey Google, start the school day” or “Hey Google, school’s in session!” Smart Displays like Nest Hub Max will show a school-themed visual and play the familiar sounds of school—like kids ruffling through their lockers. If you have smart lights set up, it will also trigger the lights to flash upbeat red, orange and yellow colours. This feature also works on Assistant-enabled smart speakers (you just won’t see the visual).

  • On Assistant-enabled smart speakers and Smart Displays in the US you can say, “Hey Google, tell me about the animal of the day” and hear fun facts about a new animal every day, listen to the sound each animal makes and even receive a creative daily challenge, like drawing what the animal looks like.
