    These sensors tell you both motion detectors and when doors are open. Incredible motion detection from a great distance. Door ajar is very sensitive which is great. Easy to install and sync to phone.

    A much needed expansion to Nest Guard systems that is easy to set up. The night light feature is a nice addition when used with the other Nest Guard features.

    Great device and very easy to use. I used the QR code and it linked directly to my Google Nest alarm system. Long battery life and very easy to install.

    If all this did was act as a door sensor, it would be prohibitively expensive. That being said, if you factor in that this is also a motion sensor and a glassbreak detector, the value starts to come through. Older systems would have required you to purchase these separately and likely the total would cover less area and cost more. Also, the quiet open allowing for opening the door without disabling the door is great! We use it to let the dog out at night without having to remember to re-arm everything.

    Protect Yourself With Nest!

    I purchased the Nest Alarm system after doing much research on the various options available and have really been happy with it since. It worked well in all of my testing and setting it up as recommended when having a medium dog in the house worked perfectly to avoid false alarms with our very active Siberian Husky. This add-on was to protect another room and the fact that you can use it as a window or a movement detector really makes this system very customizable and easy to use.

    There’s not much to dislike about the sensors they have a lot of features and capabilities and are easy to install and look nice but the price could be better especially if you have to cover more than four windows or doors.

    These detects works great! The motion sensor works extremely well. The doorbell chime works every time and on a window as well. They are a little expensive if you have a lot of windows and doors though. And they don’t have glass break capabilities.

    Easy Install for Increased Security

    Our Nest security system needed a boost. After confirming that we really liked the system we decided it was time to add more window and door sensors. The install couldn’t be easier. It the add button in the Nest app, hold the bar QR code up to your phone and follow the step-by-step instructions. I installed 6 new sensors in less than a half hour. The sensors can work with any kind of window and/or door, have a security light built in and are designed to blend in....not stand out.

    I have been using the Nest Secure alarm system for a few years now and it has been a very simple, easy to use, and cost effective security system for our home. I am disappointed that Google has decided to discontinue the system and am hoping to use this system for a few more years so I am stocking up on sensors while I can for when I eventually move to a bigger home. In the meantime, I hope Best Buy gets some more in stock.

    This device is an amazing wonder! It is a motion detector, door open / close detector, and a tiny light. It works with the Nest Alarm system and comes with a mounting bracket to secure it via a screw on either a wall or a corner and it also includes adhesive strips in case you don't want to drill holes in the wall. While more expensive than other security system add ons, this does everything you'd want (motion, door detection..etc)

    I love all of my Nest products (I own everything but the smoke detector) and this is no different. The range for motion is approx. 15-18 feet and works amazing. I haven't used these for door sensors (I feel like motion all over the house is sufficient and I have outdoor cameras), so I can't speak to that, but these are great motion sensors!

    Honestly. These Google Nest Sensor are amazing. How you don’t even have to remove the Stay alarm to be able to leave if you have pets or family in. All the do you press the round button on the bottom and it lets you pass through without setting it off or needing to turn the alarm off. I highly recommend
