    This Saved My Cats

    A few weeks after purchasing this, I received a carbon monoxide alarm notification on my phone while I was at work. Initially, I assumed it was a false alarm, but I decided to go home and check. The fire department confirmed that our house was filled with carbon monoxide. I was able to save my cats in time. It’s terrifying to imagine what would have happened if this had occurred just a few weeks earlier. I would have been at work, completely unaware, while my cats were being poisoned. THANK YOU NEST!

    Very easy to set up. I light the night light feature. Overall I hope it never sees much use, but it's there just in case!

    I purchases a few of these after I bought the thermostat, and I love how they interact together. The ability to improve the awareness of your thermostat through the Protects as well as the ability to turn off the furnace if smoke or CO is present is also great. My only issue is that there isnt the ability to change the range for the Pathlight (night light on motion sensor) which is roughly 20 feet. In a normal sized bedroom, any tossing and turning will trigger the light to come on. However, you can deactivate this feature for one or all of the protects, and you can change the intensity of the light as well.

    Easy installation. Looks good. Works good. I definitely recommend.It can be pricey since smoke alarm detectors should be replaced after 7-10 years.

    I love these smoke detectors. They were a breeze to set up and linked right to my nest thermostat on the app. I really like these because thethey constantly check themselves to make sureeverything is working properly. Also, it's great to have if you have a pet at home. It will alert you right away if something is detected so you can get help right away. It also tells you exactly what room and what was detected. The units also talk you to communicate what is going on since they are all linked. Great buy!

    I bought the Battery version of this as I wanted to install it in a place where there was no wired connection. Installation was easy and the product came with batteries pre-installed. I just had to pull the plastic tab out. Once the lights turned on, I connected it to my Nest App. I like that it has various light modes to indicate various statuses as well as notifies your phone when something happens. The best feature I like is the Night Glow feature when the room is completely dark and it provides a subtle light.

    Directions clear: set up a snap

    I’m reasonably tech savvy, but I still chose to read through the entire directions and once I had done that I found that the set up process was a snap. One of my very favorite features is that the system emits a low glowing light in our upstairs hallway when we get up at night. The other unit that is near a light we leave on overnight doesn’t light up which is perfect. One last point- we have a long low house and I like the fact that one unit will speak to another at opposite ends of the house if we have an issue. Recommend this device.

    After another middle-of-the night "what's beeping?" exercise with old-style fire and CO alarms, I decided to invest in a few Nest Protects for my house. Super simple setup, easy installation, and cool mobile interface. Very satisfied.

    I had the Nest 2nd Gen. Thermostat before purchasing this item, so I already had the Nest app on my phone. Adding the protect (plus another one in another part of my house) was super simple! Make sure you get the battery operated one if you don't have existing 120V wires already in place. No anchors were required to mount this because this thing is so light. I have a little extra piece of mind now, knowing that when my wife and I are at work, we can get immediate notifications if there is a fire or a carbon monoxide issue, so we can get help to our 3 dogs.

    This smoke/carbon monoxide alarm made it so wonderful to get instant notifications to my phone if it was ever going off or about to through the Google Home app. Easy to install. Highly recommend.
