Google - Nest Connect

This Security system by Nest was a pleasure to install. The directions were very easy and concise within it's app, even while installing the motion detectors and other peripherals. I was not sure this unit would provide ample coverage without needing to purchase more motion detectors. We have several entrance points on our main level. But with it's sensitivity, everything with this unit was enough to cover our entry points. This unit came with one Nest base unit. two Nest sensors(for door/window open or motion) and two Nest tags. I love that the tags can arm or disarm without having to enter a code. To my knowledge there are no monitoring options for this unit, but that is to come in the future, which means there are no monthly fees for it to work, and work well. The moment it does not see motion for a period it notifies you that it looks like no one is home, and asks if you would like to arm the system. I appreciate the fact that it is pet friendly, or at least dog friendly, our 15 pound Bichon/Poodle mutt has not set it off yet. I am a little disappointed that there is not more integration into the Google Home interface. I found several things that interface with the Nest thermostat, but not the Nest Secure??? If you are looking for this unit to alert you that a door or a window has opened immediately, this is not the unit you need. The shortest option for notification of a breach is 30 seconds. I am not sure why they would not include a night feature to enable instant notification. If I were installing this in my daughters home, or my parents home, I would want that type of a feature to be available. I may be missing something, in the software, but I feel I have seen other complaints about this. This unit is one I would recommend to a friend with certain security needs, but this does not fulfill every security need.

I have connect this tiny connect to extend my door detectors in my backyard doors and garage door and make sure they are all concreted and perfectly worked and has no lost connection!!

My Nest security system was constantly losing contact with the more remote window sensors in my house. I bought this item to solve the problem and it works great. Easy to set up. Easy connection. And most important, I haven't had a sensor drop out since the day I installed it (which is over 1 month now). No more annoying "non-connect" sounds coming from my central hub. This was a quick, easy and affordable solution. The unit is small and blends in easily with the decor unlike most Wi-Fi boosters that have flashing lights and try to draw attention to themselves. Highly recommended.....

Needed to add this because the sensors were too far apart and kept dropping the signal. It's much better now after adding the extender.

We have a lot of Nest/Yale products. The Nest connect is one of two ways to connect the Nest/Yale Lock to the rest of the system. The other way is to purchase a Nest Security System (Secure), which is way more expensive. Nest offers a package deal for the lock and Nest Connect which is cheaper than buying them separately. The only thing I would recommend is plugging this into an outlet that is not accessible to little ones who may pull it out.

Easy to install and set up.. basically plug and play.

Easy o install and makes sure all my nest products can talk to one another. A requirement for if you have multiple nest security products all over you home.

I have my router upstairs with my system on the main level in a large house. I have had no problems losing internet connection due to proximity
