    easy setup, no false positives

    Nest makes solid products which are easy to setup and are reliable. When dealing with smoke detectors, it is hard to say whether the product works until you need it. 1) Setup - Easy and seamless. Had minor issues because my firewall was blocking outgoing connections, but app gives clear error messages which a quick google helps close up. 2) low profile unit which was easy to install. 3) no false positives (yet) - Was cooking some for which started to smoke. Other smoke detectors started going off. This one did not. IT was a bit further from the others, but expect it was because there was not enough to trigger an alert. It is nice to be able to able to link up with family/friends so you can help react should a detector activate.

    These are great alarms. Very solid, dependable, integrate well with other Nest Protect alarms in a large house. Note that I actually wanted the wired version, but they've been sold out for months, it's not clear if the wired version is coming back. Delivery (when it shown) is currently May of 2025.

    I am very pleased with this product. I bought it for the fire and carbon monoxide detection but am most impressed by the connection to my smartphone and regular email updates. The motion night light feature was a pleasant surprise as is the momentary green light indicating that the system is working when the lights are turned off. I am now adding other NEST products to my home.

    Time to upgrade and why would I change from what works? And I know they work when I was alerted to smoke in the basement at 2AM! All was good. Easy set up, love the monthly updates and easy to install. Protect your family and home with this great product.

    Installation and setup was quick and easy. Less than 30 minutes from opening the box to testing the final installed system. I bought two battery operated wireless units to add to my existing 4 direct wired units. All 6 are synced together wirelessly so that if any one alarm is triggered then all 6 will go off.

    These are the best smoke alarm/carbon monoxide detectors on the market. They are easy to install and do random testing on their own. We sleep much better at night knowing these are throughout the house. My kids love the path light at night as well.

    Have wired versions for primary locations and purchased this for other locations. Integrates well with wired versions. Like the pathway lighting feature in addition to the primary safety features for fire/smoke and CO2 alarm. Ten year battery with automatic monthly testing is a huge plus.

    Nest protect may seem pricey for a smoke detector, but it does much more! I love knowing that i will receive alerts via my phone if there was smoke or CO in my house. It is also nice to have a voice tell you the issue so you can address any kind of a false alarm and not panic immediately. Advantage of battery version is that you can put it anywhere! Night light feature is also awesome!

    Install was simple and I like that they (4 units) seem to connect and communicate just fine. The litmus test ultimately comes down to how they respond to a fire but overall I am satisfied and would buy again.

    I love having the peace of mind that my home is safe and that I will be notified if anything happens while I am away from my home. The nest smart smoke and co detector was super easy to install with only needing a screwdriver. Fast and easy to integrate into my nest home app.

    Great Detectors!

    I love this detector. This is my third detector. If one detector senses smoke, all detectors announce where the alarm is located. This is great for multi story or long houses. It is also a carbon monoxide detector which is nice having 2 detectors in one. One added feature is the dim nite lite that comes on if you walk near it after dark.

    Seamlessly integrate multiple units to provide whole-home coverage no matter how big or how small the home! Also, there's no need to have separate smoke and carbon monoxide detectors with these amazing units that can do both! A must for homes with a fireplace!

    This is a smoke/carbon monoxide that is easy to install. It can be controlled by your home wifi network. It talks to you and lets you know that it is alright by shining a green light when you turn off the lights.
