    Impressive little unit, justifies the high price

    Very easy to set up and very flexible. Nest probably needs a dedicated window unit as this to me only makes sense for the price to use on a door where you can take full advantage of the features on offer.

    These are a great addition to the rest of our nest products. We have one on each window in our home for added security. Only thing I don’t like is even when you push the button, our alarm still goes off so you can’t quickly open the door from inside to grab a package or anything without having to turn off the whole system.

    We wanted a security system that was easy to install and to setup and the Google Nest is exactly that. It's been working beautifully for over a year now.

    great ease of use. looks stylish and pathway light is bright and good for dark areas of your home. Only real complaint is the price. These things are insanely priced. I needed 10 to cover the basic windows and entrances in my home. That adds up really quickly.

    Love the fact that you can mount it with an adhesive. Also when the alarm is on you push the button and it allows you to open the door without causing the alarm to turn on. The alarm for that door goes back on when the door closes.

    Good product, quirky set up

    I like the design and concept of having a motion detector in one unit. The set up was a little quirky. I would go through the process, but it wouldn’t connect. The solution was to move them closer to the Nest Guard (which they were within 5 feet of each other). I did find that if you try the day after the detect will connect to the Guard unit without much issue

    This was very easy to install and add to my already existing Nest system. Works well on windows and doors and even tested the glass detection on accident and it worked as I hoped it would!

    Pricy Dual Purpose Sensor

    Easy to install and add to your Nest Secure. Offers both motion detection and door opening detection. Kind of a waste to use as a horizontal window sensor as I don't believe it has motion detection when installed for this purpose. Operates on battery. I am worried how long the batteries will last as my previous alarm system was wired. Time will tell.

    Nice as an add-on to the 2 you get with the system purchase. I wish the Nest came with 4 of these so we don't have to build on what we get with the Nest security system. I'm going to need another one since I have so many doors with an outside exit.... Wish it was a little cheaper

    As you know the 2 that come with the system may not be enough for a single-family home I need several additional to complete my layout, and for the most part they work as intended, yet one of 6 disconnects from time and during setup a few misconfigurations so thats why I gave 4 stars, overall its a solid product.

    I have a few of these to compliment my Nest Guard, and the only issue I've had with this one is that sometimes it would disconnect from my Nest Guard. The Nest Extender took care of that.

    Works as it's supposed to and notifications are sent to the guard instantaneous. It also blends in and pretty unintrusive. The only bad side is the price and they are pretty costly.

    Easy to add additional sensors to your Nest Secure hub. Wish you had the option to buy more sensors but don't. Have to buy individually if more are needed.
