Mount Genie Simple Built-in Google Nest Hub Gen 1 Wall Mount [DOES NOT FIT 2021 GEN 2]: The Perfect Smart Home Command Center | PoE Option Available | Designed in The USA

Im in no way handy with tools so was hesitant to buy this having to cut a hole in the wall. Finally amped myself to do it. Ordered a drywall cutter traced the outliner of the holder that is provided. Got to cutting less than 10min and it was done. I did have issues with getting power to it but I whipped up something. Basically I made an extra hole bottom near the floor and passed the power cable through tied with a metal hair clip. Then I put a magnet through the hole that was made for the mount and started fishing. 5 minutes later I was able to get the metal with the magnet and pulled it out. Then tada it works. I did mess up by not using a stud finder because I made a hole and stud was there right down the middle. So the hub couldn't sit in. So yeah I bought a hole patch (a new experience for me as well) got the wall patched then retired now knowing where the stud was and all done ✅ looks great👍 very happy with it. All this took (including patching the first hole) 35 minutes

Why no one has come out with a wall mounted smart screen is beyond me, this isn't perfect but a pretty darn good option to configure what is available to put a google hub on the wall. I read reviews and watched some videos of people installing. The biggest criticism seemed to be it not firmly snapping into place at the top. As a precaution from what others had said when cutting the hole I tried to make it tight towards the top of it, the plastic was bendable enough that I got it pretty tight but then... it was too tight and wouldn't snap in at all. Had to trim the drywall slightly a few times to get it to fit right and also snap in, but even if it didn't snap in the weight of the google hub keeps it in place. It seems like these are just run off a 3D printer, if anything it could be made of a more durable plastic to help with that "snapping in" issue at the top but overall a well designed solution to the problem.

This product is amazing and I don’t know why Google doesn’t make and sell this themselves as this gives you a professional high-end looking smart home control that you can’t find anywhere else. Installs easy and looks beautiful. I get compliments on it all the time. Only thing to be aware of is how you’ll power the nest hub - I wired a standard outlet to this location and hid it in the wall right behind the hole for this bracket - not to code but it works.

1 star - Fails to do what its supposed to do2 star - does what its supposed to do poorly3 star - works as attended4 star - works as attended and more5 star - works exceptionally wellNot being super handy myself, I am always apprehensive about putting a hole in our walls. That being said, this was real easy to install, and the video explains it well enough. the mount is basic enough, but I like that they made a notch for the speaker.I agree with the other reviewers that the Google Home Nest Hub... Esquire the third... sits real loose in the mount, I ended up putting a couple Velcro pieces the the top ends to hold it better. I'd say that's the main reason for the 4 star rather than 5, outside of that, it is a great mount and comes with extension power cable if needed.

You'll find many mounts for this Google/Nest module. Most are a shelf like or an extending arm that bolts into the wall. This one will make your Google/Nest Home look like a tablet or a fancy wall mounted Smart Home Control Pad. Looks more professional this way. I'm planning to have one of each installed in my walls between the basement and the upper level. I have some tools at home so it was pretty easy for me to do myself. All you'll need is a philips and flat head screwdrivers and most important a Drywall Knife. A different knife could be used but the drywall one is most efficient and makes the job much easier. Comes with the stencil to cut the opening. ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING: Make sure to install right above your power outlet. This way you won't hit one of the 2x4 planks beneath the drywall. If you do. That will ruin your drywall. Comes with a power cord extension which I didn't even use. The Google's cord was long enough. I'm truly happy with the purchase. Already have more ordered for different levels of the house. Thanks!

This looks great on my wall (at least I think it does:)).The installation was simple and quick.With the metal clips the frame snaps in nice and tight.The nest hub clips right in as advertised and can easily be removed (and subsequently put back on the frame).As others have noted its perfect if you can install somewhere near an existing light switch as you can just draw power from there (see my pictures).

The Home Hub is perfect for being builtin and much better than my old Nexus tablet with Action Tiles and Tasker. First, there isn’t even a way to get google home proper on a tablet so that huge. Anything I have found seems like a hack. Second, the speaker in the Hub is loud and way better than a tablet. Third, the screen is amazing and adjusts to the light in the room and stays on better than the other tablet options. This is the setup I have wanted for the last 2 years. Good job.

This is a great mount I was able to install it within 30 minutes. I drilled a small hole on the side so I don't have to run the poe cable. The hardest part is to cut the sheetrock. After you have the hole cut, the mount fits right in. The only issue I have is with the clip that holds the nest hub in the wall. It broke off right after I remove the nest hub from the mount when I was test fitting it. An easy fix is to use double side tape so the nest hub won't fall off. Other then that the product is great!
