A:AnswerNest Protect uses a Split-Spectrum Sensor capable of detecting fast-flaming fires and smoldering fires using a 450nm wavelength of light to detect the tiny particles created by fast fires. It also uses a 880nm infrared wavelength to look for larger particles created by smoldering fires. You can learn more about Split-Spectrum Sensor here: https://nest.com/support/article/What-is-the-Split-Spectrum-Sensor as well as get a more in-depth look in our Split-Spectrum Sensor White Paper available at the bottom of the previous link!

A:AnswerHi there, you can log into the Nest app on as many phones as you need to. If the other phone belongs to someone else, you can invite them to the Home.

A:AnswerI'm not certain if you're question is pertaining to local code or size, but either way in regards to size the nest is a little bit bigger then any Kidde I've run into by at least 1" circumference. Local codes, ALWAYS check with your local municipality before installing any electric stuff or safety gadgets, it's a pain to do anything twice let alone the issues that potentially arise when talking safety concerns.
