Skylight is a solid choice for families wanting a dedicated, large touchscreen calendar and chore chart integrated with Google Calendar but falls short if you want a versatile smart display for entertainment or broader smart home control.
The Skylight 15 Inch Touchscreen Smart Calendar and Chore Chart is designed primarily for families or busy households that want a centralized, visible way to manage schedules and chores. Its large 15-inch touchscreen offers a clear, easy-to-read display that can show calendar events, reminders, and chore lists, making it a practical digital replacement for paper calendars. It integrates with Google Home, allowing voice commands and syncing with Google Calendar, which is convenient if you’re already in that ecosystem. However, it falls short in a few areas. The interface is somewhat basic compared to competitors like the Amazon Echo Show or Google Nest Hub, which offer more versatile smart display functions such as video calls, streaming, and smart home control. Also, the Skylight device is relatively expensive at around $320, especially given its limited functionality beyond calendar and chore management. Setup can be straightforward but requires a Google account and Wi-Fi, which might be a barrier for less tech-savvy users. The device is perfect for families wanting a dedicated, always-on calendar and chore board in a common area like the kitchen or living room. It’s less suitable for users seeking a multi-purpose smart display with broader smart home controls or entertainment features. If you want a device that does more than just calendar and chores, other smart displays might be better choices.

Connectivity
Limited to Google ecosystem only; no Alexa or Apple HomeKit support; no Matter or Zigbee/Z-Wave protocols supported.
Compared to the Amazon Echo Show 8 and Google Nest Hub Max, Skylight focuses narrowly on calendar and chore management, lacking the broader smart home and entertainment features those competitors offer. Echo Show 8 provides Alexa voice control, video calling, and streaming at a lower price point, while Nest Hub Max integrates deeply with Google services and offers a camera for video calls. Skylight’s advantage is its dedicated, large calendar interface and chore chart, which neither competitor emphasizes. However, it’s pricier and less versatile, so if you want a multi-use device, Echo Show or Nest Hub Max are better bets. For pure calendar visibility, Skylight stands out but at a premium.
Installation is fairly easy with a difficulty rating of 2 out of 5. It typically takes about 10-15 minutes to set up, requiring a stable Wi-Fi connection and a Google account. You just plug it in, connect to Wi-Fi, and sign in. No special tools are needed. Some users report minor hiccups with Wi-Fi connectivity or syncing calendars initially, but these are usually resolved with a restart or re-login. Professional installation is not necessary.
In daily use, Skylight performs reliably for displaying calendars and chore charts, with minimal lag and a responsive touchscreen. The app experience is basic and can feel limited compared to more robust smart display apps. Response time to updates or voice commands via Google Home integration is generally quick, though the device doesn’t support as many voice commands as full-featured smart displays. Since it’s a plugged-in device, battery life isn’t a concern. Some users mention occasional syncing delays with Google Calendar events.
- Limited functionality beyond calendar and chore display

Families and busy individuals looking to organize schedules and chores effectively.
Consider if you use Google services for calendar management.
Consider buying Skylight if your main goal is a large, dedicated calendar and chore chart display integrated with Google Calendar. Pair it with other Google Home devices for better voice control. Avoid if you want a multi-use smart display or are not tied to Google services. Watch for sales to offset the relatively high price, and be prepared for a simple app experience without advanced features.
