According to our smart home hub expert
Archos Hello is your personal Home Assistant. The biggest difference with the other speech assistants is that this speaker has a built-in screen. The integrated assistant makes your daily activities just that little bit easier. Ask questions and the answers appear on the screen or are spoken by the assistant. Every Archos base station has a touchscreen. They also have a built-in speaker and a built-in battery. This allows you to place the speaker anywhere in the house. Ask the assistant about the weather forecast or have the Hello video call your mother. You also switch on the Hello for your favorite series and songs. The voice-activated speaker works in combination with Google Play and therefore only with Android smart devices. Connect the speaker to the mains for use.

It seems very strongly that the Archos Hello does not respond to voice commands before you have touched the screen first. That can't be the intention," hey google" should just work remotely. In addition, the device looks a bit clumsy, the design is not really beautiful. Archos also uses its own software, which means that it still lacks a full connection with the Google Home. Compared to a Google Home Hub, the device is also quite a bit more expensive.

Unfortunately already received 2, number 3 is on its way. The first showed no sign of life. The 2nd one turned on (sound through the speaker and LED turned on when you press the mute button) but unfortunately the screen remained black.. Not the best quality, but unfortunately we really need it for a school project. Archos support is also not of much use to you, they make you look stupid because you did not first hang the device on the charger for 3 hours, because according to them that is self-evident with any device with a battery.

Actually, the device does not do what is expected of it, the command "OK GOOGLE" only works with unlocked screen and so one has to stand near the device, while 2 microphones have just been built in to be able to hear you everywhere in the room, even remote , the built-in/pre-installed app HELLO CONNECT is an unusable app , (without manual and does not work for a meter) It is, however, an added value that one can use the screen and speaker combination with the google assistant, ideal for bathroom, bedroom or kitchen, but when the smart screen of google home or other becomes available in Belgium, there will be ARCHOS would no longer be of value to opt for this half-functioning solution. I don't know whether I should be happy with what he can do or sad about what he just can't do!
