    The hub is just google assistant with a screen. It does not do very much nor integrate very well with nest at the moment.

    It’s a glorified alarm clock for me.

    Ah OK, so it's basically like a Google Home with a screen? I should be able to re-sell it for $100 on kijiji so i think i'm sold on that costco deal....now to decide if i want one for my back door too (more just for surveillance of the door instead of expecting people to ring it).
    @Strider do you know if this deal is available in store or is it online only?

    Not sure if it's available in-store, but looks like the doorbell is out of stock online for the time being.

    The new version of the Hub is out called the Max. This old version can't do video calls like the Lenovo hub so I passed on the deal.
    Will wait for a Black Friday deal since I still have my shitty Ring Pro.
    Getting rid of Alexa if anyone wants 3 Dots for $60, pm me.

    Home Depot has the combo for $298 + tax = $312.90
    Google Store is $338 + tax

    Also pretty sure East Hills Costco does not have the Nest doorbell either, I was there Tuesday and didn't see.

    Lowe's has the same deal as Costco. Doesn't show up on the actual page but if you add both to the cart it will show the discounts. I just put an order in to pickup in store. 270 taxes in for the hello and hub.

    Awesome thanks for posting this. I also got a $5 promo code from the lowes.ca page which also worked.

    I checked on the Costco app and looked like the doorbell was back in stock. Ended up ordering from Lowes so I can pick up today hopefully. I also have a Google Wifi coming today, using the $150 credit I got withy Pixel 3a. Should be a nice setup

    Damn now I wish I saw that $5 coupon.

    Mines ready to pickup. I was surprised that they opened at 6am. Hopefully get it set up tonight for testing

    @sabad66 Costco back in stock this morning, but Lowe's has the same deal ($10 cheaper if you do newsletter signup coupon).

    Dang, was hoping to install today but my transformer is only 10V. Is it easy to replace these? Mine is mounted to my breaker box.

    Any specific model anyone recommends?

    I have this one https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/h...8693p.html#srp

    If you can install a light switch, you can swap the transformer. White to white, black to black, ground to ground.

    If you’re switching transformers, get a much beefier one like this:

    https://www.amazon.ca/Maxdot-Doorbel...dp/B07PM2PK96/

    That way if you’re feeling baller and install a back door one as well, you have enough power.

    Good call, definitely want to futureproof this.

    Would a 24V / 30VA be better than this 16V/30VA? I do want to keep my back doorbell hooked up to the chime for now so maybe 24V would too much and could fry the chime? Or would a 24V work fine too?

    The connections seem pretty straight forward but I’m a bit apprehensive about my situation because it’s mounted to the bottom of my breaker box and don’t know how to remove the old one without taking the panel cover off. I’ll see if I can find a YouTube video or something or worst case should be a quick job for an electrician

    The Max is a different product and has a much bigger screen. They were both released at the same time in Canada.

    Again though. Don’t expect it to do anything other than provide visual confirmation of what any of the little google speaker picks can do. Except you can ask google assistant to start a voice call, through whatever video call system google uses.
