Overly sensitive to steam, don’t put near a bathroom. Otherwise it’s a nice alarm that’s easy to install, app is straight forward.

I replaced three Nest smoke alarms with these all ready and they work great and used the same bracket as the Nest alarms. Very easy to use the new Resideo app that First Alert uses.

After 10 year I needed to replace my Nest Protect Smoke Alarms with a newer version from First Alert. It was quite easy. Like the look and ability to work in conjunction with the google home app. The only downside is that the new alarm does not have the nightlight feature that was in the Nest Protect!

Purchased bc one of my nest detectors malfunctioned and needed to be replaced so purchased first alert for compatibility with my other nest detectors. So far its been great, it was super easy to install (works with nest wall mount that was already installed) & set up. One functionality i miss is that the nest use to light up when motion was detected, i wish the FA had the same function.

I was quite impressed with the ease of replacement with my expiring Nest Protects. It was literally plug and play. The First Alert app is intuitive and has a great guided setup as well. I am also pleased how well the devices integrate into the Google Home app. The only knock on this device is the lack of a path light. Mine is located in my hallway and I miss having it light up when I walked by. Other than that, I've had it up for almost two months without any issues.

Bought as a replacement for nest protect. Install is fairly simple. However, it is not as feature packed as the nest. May also be a little too pricey but if you are looking to stay with the nest ecosystem, then this is likely your best option

Very easy to install and fully compatible with the NEST device I had.

Solid replacement for your old Google Nest Protect (no longer made). Integrates well with other Google Nest Protects you may still have in your home (i.e. they will talk to each other should you have a smoke or carbon monoxide alert). Works with the Google Home app, after you download and install First Alert app first (2-step process). The voice alerts are a bit muffled compared to the Google Nest Protect, but still quality enough to hear and understand them. I would recommend this item to anyone looking for a plug and play replacement for your old Google Nest Protect.

Easy install and setup The first alert app is intuitive and easy to use

The detector is easy to install and setup. The voice used on this device is not as clear as the Nest device it replaced.

I was very disappointed when I found out Nest was no longer going to make the smoke detectors. I’ve used for the past 10 years. I was concerned about integrating a new one than working together and would it be as good so far I have to say this is a solid replacement. I’ve had no issues. It’s worked well and I couldn’t be more happy.

replacing one of my nest protects smoke alarms since it expired... this is very easy to setup if you are in this situation since the only thing you have to do is remove the older one from the wire and hook up this new one. You have to have the first alert app (another app!!). But is a painless transition for sure. I tested this new one with the existing ones and communication was perfect.

Easy to install and have had no issues with this detector

Nice that it uses same mount and wiring as previous Nest Protect, just wish it had the path light feature. Seems expensive for what it is but can’t put a price on safety I guess.

This would have been better if First Alert had cloned the Nest technology and features. I miss the nightlight. I think that this will be an adequate replacement for my Google Nest detectors.

We wanted a Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector that was compatible with our Google Nest devices. The First Alert device was quickly delivered by Best Buy and was easy to install

This is a good product as a replacement for the Nest Protect. However, it should have the path lights like the Nest Protect.

Yes it's not nest, and yes it doesn't have a night light. That being said, easy set up. Aside from having to download the First App, it was the exact steps as having to install a new smoke detector. And less work than replacing with a different model.

I really did appreciate the motion sensor aspects from the old nest protect unlike some others have mentioned. Also wasn't thrilled that it is 7 year life span versus 10 years like the Nest protect. Haven't seen the sensitivity as others have mentioned yet and hoping it doesn't pop up.

Easy to install & the app seems fine. But I'm pretty salty about this being the official replacement for the Nest smoke / CO2 alarm, yet the motion activated pathway light function has been taken away. Because of this, I'm not sure I will use this for all 7 of my alarms.. But I 100% would have if it had the same light function as the Nest.
