Customers admire the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector Battery Powered for its simple setup, connectivity with Google Nest devices, and overall performance. The loud alarm volume and compatibility with existing Nest hardware are also appreciated. However, some customers noted the absence of Nest Sense features and the detector's size. Despite these concerns, the detector's design and expected long battery life are generally well-received.

Easy to install and a good replacement for my Nest Protect that is expiring soon. I was even able to use the Nest Protect bracket to install the First Alert detector. It also works seamlessly with the Google Home App.

Set Up and Connectivity suspect

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Review based on set up and connectivity. I purchased this tentatively based on reviews. I'm replacing original Nest Protect system and this promised to be the closest in features and to integrate directly into my existing system.
Set up is not straightforward if you want to add to your Nest system and app. You need the First Alert App, then you need the Google Home app. I've had the product a little over a month and still can't get it to appear in the Nest app. I get emails daily saying the device has gone missing, and then later saying it's been found. So, not sure it will communicate with the other devices, and if I want to check it I need to use a separate app. I need to replace more Nest Protect products and I'm loathe to mix multiple systems, but hesitant to proceed with these.
I can't speak for quality or longevity of the product otherwise, but you pay a premium for the promised Nest integration and connectivity that does not deliver.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This item was purchased to replace an expiring Nest detector. The installation was simple but it is uncertain if I successfully integrated it with the remaining Nest products.

Not a True Substitute to Nest Protect

Not as user friendly as Nest Protect. Was more complicated to add to Google Home. Mount already installed from Nest Protect didn’t line up for this one to hang in proper orientation.
