If you’re like most people, you probably love your Nest Hub—the smart home device that lets you control your lights, thermostats, and more from one central location. But if you’re like some of us (like me), you might not love how bright everything is in regular light mode. Luckily, there’s a way to make your Nest Hub even more comfortable to use in dark environments: dark mode. Here’s how to enable it on your Nest Hub:
- Open the Nest app on your phone or computer.
- Tap the three lines in the top left corner of the main screen.
- Under “Settings,” tap “General.”
- Under “Display & Brightness,” tap “Dark Mode.” If it’s not already enabled, Dark Mode will be set to “On.” Tap it to turn it on. ..
During the initial setup, you might have selected the “Auto” mode for the theme. This means that the UI will automatically switch between light and dark modes to match the lighting. You can also decide what is shown when the room is completely dark.

However, you don’t have to keep it in “Auto” mode. We’ll show you how to keep it in dark mode all the time easily. This can be done from both the display itself and the Google Home app.
From the smart display, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to bring up the toolbar. Tap the gear icon to open the Settings menu.
Next, go to the “Display” settings.
Now, select “Dark.” The Nest Hub’s theme will switch to dark mode immediately.
Alternatively, open the Google Home app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android smartphone or tablet and find your Google Nest Hub in the list of devices.
Now, tap the gear icon in the top-right corner to open the Settings.
Next, go to the “Display” settings.
Scroll down and select “Dark” for the theme.
While you’re here, take a minute to check out the other Display settings. You can adjust the “Minumum Brightness,” “Screen Timeout,” and “Color Matching.”
That’s it! Your Google Nest Hub will now always be in dark mode. Another thing in your life has been successfully converted to the dark side.
