Really cool gadget and would also get 5 stars from me if the information on the Digitec page were correct....
Is contrary to the info box in the £Rede is delivered from a power connection for Switzerland with a US plug. The power supply can handle 220V but has a design shape with which it fits only conditionally on adapters and the 14V output voltage are unusual so that not simply a USB or PC charger can be used as a substitute.
At the moment the device only runs in English which is not too bad except maybe for the units of measurement: Fahrenheit, Ounces etc. I have not yet been able to convert.
Otherwise the integration works amazingly well even with cheap non Google components like Sonoff switches, Magic Home LED controllers, self programmed ESP8266, ESP32 and Raspberry Pi projects.
Sound is ok for the size. Swiss radio stations SFR I got after a day of tinkering but only via streaming from smartphone or tablet and not directly from the device.
Thanks to hardware switch, the microphone can be turned off at any time. But who has this kind of paranoia should not buy the device anyway. because it only makes sense if you use the corresponding tools such as calendar, shopping lists, contacts, etc. of Google and already largely sits in the digital glass house.

The best product google ever made,
Everything is well made and so glad the opportunity to buy it in Switzerland, i bought an adaptator for the US plug to swiss plug but digitec refund me and give it for free.
I have both google home and home mini but i can assure it is not just an other google home it is very useful and it is so much more useful and introduce so many functions.
It is only in english language right now but woks perfectly in switzerland with every functions available and recognized as if you bought a regular google home.

When trying to set up the device, I got the message "this Google Nest Hub was made for another country and may not be compatible with your wifi". I also had problems connecting the device to my wifi router at first. My wifi just didn't show up in the selection list. My router is a Horizon HD Recorder g7401 from UPC. I was able to solve the problem by changing the country in the router setup from "Switzerland" to "Germany".
