So I've been thinking about a Nest Hub, having gone to look at one today I'm not convinced it's right for me.
I'm looking for something to control my 'smart home' gadgets with - Philips Hue, audio streaming to speakers such as Cambridge Audio, BlueSound etc. and also view CCTV cameras on.
I've only just discovered that you can't install apps on the Nest home from the Play store like you can a normal tablet. I'm not too fussed for the Google Assistant - I don't have too much desire to ask Google to turn my lights on - beyond that I'm not 100% sure what else the assistant can do. I'm also not fussed for the built in speaker as I'd never use it.
Thus, would I be better to buy a cheap tablet that I can install the apps on/ customise - almost build a DIY Nest Home?
Has anyone done similar?
