“Does the Nest Protect talk to the Nest Thermostat about motion? Does the latest generation Nest Protect also talk to the 3rd generation Nest Thermostat to tell it when motion is detected? My Thermostat is in a location where it cannot "see" the room or detect motion from someone that is there. I read somewhere that the Protect can detect motion and communicate through being paired to the Nest Thermostat that someone is in the room so the Thermostat will be smarter. In another article I read that the Nest Protect had been revised to not detect motion. In summary, I am looking to buy a Nest Protect if it also provides motion detection to my Nest Thermostat in addition to providing the protection from smoke and CO.”

Yes, they detect motion.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I do not know about the third generation Nest Thermostat but this is possible with my first generation Nest Thermostat. You just have to turn on the feature through the Nest App or on the thermostat to allow the Protect to act as a source for determining occupancy. I personally decided to turn off the feature as I use my phone to tell my thermostat if someone is home or not.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.As far as I know, it does have motion sensors that work with the thermostat. The NEST protect also works as a night light when it senses motion, so keep that in mind when you put it up in your home (don't put it right above your bed or example, it will keep turning on and lighting up the room). All this information can be found on Google's website.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it does communicate about motion. It will set the thermostat to auto-away when no motion is detected. It will also turn off the furnace if CO or smoke is detected, which is a nice feature.
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. It has an option to assist in motion detection for the auto-away feature of the thermostat.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, all Nest devices "help" each other out. My Nest protect is set to detect motion and tell my thermostat to come back from being away.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
