Setting up and getting going
Like just about any Nest product, the setup process is super quick. From unboxing to getting linked to my Wi-Fi, it was less than 10 minutes before I could start chatting with the new Home Speaker. This will be slower if you need to link accounts and set up a home, but for those of us already enrolled, set up, and whatnot, it’s super simple and quick.
