Customer Ratings & Reviews

It is a great replacement for a regular smoke detector, easy to setup and works with Google smart home devices.

Packaging was easy to open. Easy to install and replace my existing detector. Instructions and connections to WiFi and the first alert app worked first time. I like seeing check in status in the app

So far so good, we did get a false positive early on but it has been good so far. The false positive is why I am giving it only 4 stars as I had to drive 80 miles back to the house.

Easy set up through the First Alert app. Love the fact that you can silence alarm and check the status on your phone. No more waking up in the middle of the night with the annoying chirping when batteries are low.

Simple set up and a great way to be able to see what’s happening in your home when you’re away. It connects to non-smart models to let you know when any alarm is going off in your house.

It's not a Nest but it seems to work well so far. I do wish it had the nightlight feature.

Easy install and hook right up to wi fi no issue the box is nice and clean

Wired detector. Easy to install. Works with Google home.

I bought this specifically because it was designed to replace the Google Nest Protect which was discontinued by Google. It connects to other Nest smoke detectors so that’s good but its build quality doesn’t seem to be as good as the old Google products. The volume of the audible warning is not as high. Time will tell if it holds up as well as the Google product.

Great replacement for Nest Protect. Easy to install, convenient adaptors for old nest protects and app works well.

Easy set up easy install. I’ve purchased several of these to replace the Nest devices, which have been abandoned.

Disappointing--I wanted to replicate the experience of the Google Nests I have had for 10 years which are now discontinued. These were meant to be the true heirs of the Nest alerts but are barely a shadow of them--gone is the motion-activated ring lights we used to light up our dark hallways, the pleasant voice tests, quiet confidence in the combo CO2/smoke detection, and easy to quiet alarms. These First Alert model alerts are loud, obnoxious, and tinny sounding, the lights are hardly controllable, and emit a cold while LED, with a difficult to press silencing button. One of the two I purchased went off falsely TWICE within three weeks (in the early morning, no less) and I have trashed both of them to be sure they never return. And the 10 day return policy passed, so no money back. Garbage.

Works great, easily compatible with legacy Nest product and an easy install.

My home remodel allows me to have the smoke alarms hardwired now. I no longer have to worry about battery runs out and hearing the non-stop chirp.

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.

This is a good replacement for the nest protect alarm. It was easy to set up and connect to my smart home.

Bought 4 of these item and one of them gave me so many false alarms that i had to return it.

This was purchased to replace one of several Nest Protect units that are about to expire. This was one of the contenders as a replacement and so it is working fine. The lack of motion lightning is disappointing, but the integration into Google Home was easy and works fine.

The product just Works as advertised no complaints

They are easy to install and compatible with the old Nest detector’s base.
