| October 31, 2018 We’ve been playing with the Google Home Hub a lot, and it’s our favorite gadget of the year. This little smart display shows you the weather, time, and pictures from Google Photos (which is the best photo backup app since it works on iPhone or Android) in a slideshow. It’s by far the best digital picture frame out there, and it’s pretty cheap. And then you also have the full capabilities of Google Assistant, and it integrates into your smarthome better than anything on the market – slide down the menu from the top, and you’ve got access to lights, locks, thermostats, cameras, and more. Want to watch YouTube? Just ask Google. It’s fantastic. - Lowell Heddings | |
