The second-genGoogle Nest Hubwas already an affordable tool for controlling a whole home of smart devices at its regular $99 price, but this bundle deal at Walmart for a mere $39 is something really special.
Why you need to get the Google Nest Hub
The second-gen Google Nest Hub was released in the spring of 2021 and features a 7-inch touchscreen. It comes in two colors — chalk and charcoal — and both are available for the same price right now. Using the Google Home app, you can use the Hub to connect to other smart devices in your home, like smart TVs, speakers, thermostats, and everything else. You can also hook up your go-to music streaming service and then use voice commands to play your favorite tracks, playlists, or artists. My own Nest Hub is paired up with Spotify, and can easily play all the Christmas tracks needed to set the mood ahead of the holidays, but you can alsocheck out YouTube videoson it.
I also use the Nest Hub to display pictures of my family, run search queries, check the weather, turn devices on and off, set alarms, timers, and reminders, and even play its pre-installed trivia games.
Walmart decided to pair up the second-generation Nest Hub with a Wiz Smart LED light bulb. At 800 lumens, this smart light will brighten up your room. You just have to set it up in a lamp, connect the bulb to the Home app, and then use the Nest hub to control it. So, when you remember that you forgot to turn off the lamp in the living room and you’re already cozy under the blankets, just say “Ok Google, turn off the light,” and wait for the magic to happen.
Right now, Google' selling the Nest Hub on sale for $49, and while that’s already half-price, this deal easily beats it. One of these smart light bulbs is worth about $9, so with Walmart’s bundle, you’re basically getting the bulb for free and still saving $10 on the Nest Hub — $39 for both the Google Nest Hub and the Wiz Light Bulb is a really great deal. At this price point, you may even be able to get one of these for the office Secret Santa!
