You set the PM alarm on your Nest Hub and it tells you “Your alarm is set for 4 am.” This is a disturbing thing. But before you panicThe alarm itself is probably fine.
Second generation Nest Hub owners Flagged this issue on r/googlehome This week. Their device continues to verbally confirm the PM alarm using AM. Ask for 4pm and it says 4am. Ask for something “in three hours” at 1pm and it says the same thing. The spoken answer is incorrect, but the screen shows the correct time and the alarm sounds when it should. This is a complete voice confirmation error.
The alarm is correct. The Nest Hub won’t tell you this.
This difference matters, but it doesn’t make the bug harmless. The whole reason a smart display reads your orders is so you don’t have to manually verify them. A device that confidently announces the wrong time of day violates that trust, even if the actual result is correct.
Right now this bug appears to be specifically tied to the second generation Nest Hub. The same user tested his Nest Mini v2 and got the perfect response every time. This doesn’t look like a Google Home-wide problem. Google has already responded through the official Nest Community account. The company says that it is aware of this, has prepared a solution for it and will share the time when it will be implemented. There is no rollout date yet.
Until then, the solution is simple: take a look at the screen after setting any afternoon alarm. If it shows the correct time, you’re good. This is an extra step that Nest Hub owners shouldn’t need, but at least it has a solution already waiting in the wings.
