Customer Ratings & Reviews

As advertised, this is a great direct replacement for an out-of-service Nest Protect, very easy to plug-and-play if you have the Nest Protect already installed. Once done the Google/Nest app recognizes it and integrates it seamlessly with any other Protects you have.

I had to swap to this unit due to Nest Protect no longer available, Follow the instruction and setting up in first alert Resideo is very smooth. I was able to integrate with both Nest and Alexa. However, the quality of the unit (design, material, etc) is nowhere near the nest protect while it costs about the same. At least it uses the same bracket. Opt for a cheaper model unless you are trying to replace Nest Protect.

Easy to install. Tools me literally 10 minutes taking my time. The only downside is I miss the google nest smoke detector. I know this one replace the nest but I love the interface with nest. Beside that solid smoke detector

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

As Google Nest Protect smoke/co detectors go end-of-life, this is currently the only option for homeowners looking for smart functionality and integration with Google Home. Not going to lie, these are a step backwards from Nest Protect. Build quality, industrial design, and speaker quality is overall inferior while price remains very high. Functionality is fine, but these really make me miss the original Nest Protect and would be more more attractive in the $75 - $99 price range.

Bought this because the original nest protect expired. Easy to set up and install with the adapter cable for prior nest protect and this first alert smoke detector. App easy to use and to add to google home.

Great product. Integrated seamlessly with my existing Nest products. Easy install and looks great.

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.

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.

Good replacement for my Nest smoke detector. Very easy to install as it fits perfectly in the slot and is compatible with google home

So far, so good. It has integrated with my google home setup and can communicate with my remaining nest devices. The two main downsides to this (which we can't do anything about if you want a replacement for a Nest smoke detector) is the appearance (this looks bland and boring) and that you need to use the First Alert app to setup the device and not google home.

Easy to install and have had no issues with this detector

Great detector, easy to install. Not as nice as nest used to be.

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

Very easy to install as a replacement for Nest Protect

Nice nest replacement. Easy install. Works with google home

East to replace the Nest Detector with this model. Only issue is that it tends to drop off my WIFI from time to time, and it’s near the access point. Other than that, seems to work great.

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.

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!
