QuestionDoes nest Protect extend the nest mesh network if using connects and locks ? Trying to put between connect and lock to get more range from the connect ..
Asked 5 years ago by Skraps.
- Answer Unfortunately, it can't. Your Nest Protect uses its Thread connection exclusively for syncing alarms, and spoken alerts between all Protects. However, they won’t be able to extend the Wi-Fi range of the other Google Nest devices in your home.

QuestionHow low or to what parts per million CO will this detector read down to? Is this considered a low level CO alarm?
Asked 5 years ago by Jdizz.
- Answer Nest Protect Peak CO levels, during CO alarms, range from 70 parts per million (ppm) to 1,964 ppm, with a median of 142 ppm based on field studies. After a CO event, Nest Protect will tell you the highest level of CO that it detected. You can find the peak CO level in Protect History. Nest Protect is not a low-level carbon monoxide monitor and will alert you to carbon monoxide only in a Heads Up or Emergency Alarm event.

QuestionI would like to purchase the Nest Protect Wired system, but we cannot wire it in until a couple renovations to the home are complete. Can I use them only in battery power and wire them in at a later date?
Asked 6 years ago by Lynn.
- Answer NEST Protect comes in two models, Wired and Battery. Unfortunately these are an either or setup not and.. If you buy batter powered you cannot set it up in a wired setup. I will say the batteries that come with it last a very very long time. I installed the Nest a couple of years ago and only replaced batteries once. If you have the nigh light feature on it may reduce to like once a year depending but the battery setup is very solid.

QuestionThe one thing I cannot figure out is how it can pick up on carbon monoxide. They recommend mounting to the ceiling. Carbon monoxide is heavier than air, odorless ave colorless. Can it actually detect it?
Asked 6 years ago by Jernfam.
- Answer Google Nest Protect has been tested by Underwriters Laboratories to comply with US and Canadian safety standards as well as tested by UL UK to comply with British and European standards. Nest Protect uses different sensors to detect smoke and carbon monoxide (CO). Nest Protect detects carbon monoxide (CO), an odorless, colorless and potentially deadly gas. The CO sensor lasts up to 10 years. Learn more about 2nd generation Nest Protect sensors here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9251133

QuestionDo I have to have any other hub, gateway or nest products for this to connect? Do I just need wifi and thats all?
Asked 6 years ago by chels.
- Answer You only need the Nest Protect, a smartphone, and WiFi. No other Nest product needed. You'll have to install the Nest app on your phone. It's dead simple to set up because it walks you through the process. The hardest part (not that hard) is mounting it on your ceiling.

Asked 6 years ago by Kneubby.
