    This is a great product and very easy to set up and install. Within about 15 minutes it was installed, tested and working. Very easy to see what's happening on the app, run tests and feel secure. I would recommend this product to anyone.

    This product connected easily to my Nest account via the QR Code on the back of the device. I like that the Nest Protect "self-checks" itself. You can also check it manual via the front of the Nest Protect or from the App itself. As soon as I can I am going to purchase more for elsewhere in my home.

    Not HomeKit compatible... Setup was a breeze with the Nest app. Nightlight can be programmed for light level and time of day/night. Can self test or remote test. Multiple units can communicate to each other. Highly recommended! Hope HomeKit compatibility comes in future updates...

    My old smoke detectors were already 10+ years old an therefore was in need of replacing. Had recently purchased Nest Thermostats and are awesome, so decided to test a Nest Smoke detector. Pricey, but it's also a CO2 and installation was fairly easy. Only complain is that the plate's plastic is not strong enough, you have to be careful when install or anytime you remove it. For a $100 usd device the plate should be resistant as with cheaper models. Still, suggest yuo give it a try.

    I work as a fire firefighter and I purchased these and am very impressed. Really like the fact it acts as a motion activated light when option is enabled. Also the silence option for times when you burn toast and alarm goes off. Easy set up. The app shows you which head was activated.

    Works great, easy to install. Gives me peace of mind when our son is home alone. 2 days after installing butter dripped in the bottom of the oven and was a little smoky. The Nest detector alerted but our hard wired smoke detectors did not, made my really happy we have these in our homeniw!

    This is an awesome option. I'm a nerd about smart home devices, but super picky about the ones I choose. Very glad to have this - and bought another after our initial instal (now have one in the kiddo's room and one in the master bedroom...with at least one more to be added in the kitchen)

    After installed we kind forgot it was there until you see the night light turn on for you automatically when needed the most. It hasn’t gone off which is great but is ready when it needs to be

    Super easy to set up and mount to wall. Has a nightlight feature when it’s dark and there’s motion in the room, subtle light which is nice. Easy install on phone app as well.

    I got this to add a smoke detector to my living room and kitchen area after we had a leak in Carbon Monoxide from our gas fireplace. The installation was very easy, pairing with my network was very easy, and the features are amazing. This is a perfect product to keep you and your family safe!

    Love NEST products. I have this as an added layer of protection - the older devices didn't have WiFi but this one does. So far, I haven't had any connection issues. Unfortunately, I read Google is discontinuing NEST secure. That's a shame - the NEST products have the best AI at this price point IMO. Prefer Nest cams over Ring, but Ring has a new indoor Flying Drone security camera in the works - to fly around and check on areas in your home while you're away. That sounds cool; I'm surprised that google didn't come up with it first. I hope Google stays competitive with smart home security because I think it has the "smarter" smart products.

    Who knew a smoke detector be so cool

    Im the guy that always forgot to change the batteries in his smoke detector. Quite frankly I don't know how long the batteries in my old one were dead, but with the addition of a baby girl to our family I decided to make safety a bit more of a priority. Not only with i now get phone alerts when I need to replace the batteries in my smoke detectors, each talks to each other so if one alarm goes off in the house they all do. But its another feature that i didn't know about that really bumps this to the 5 star review. last week i was cooking up some bacon with breakfast and the kitchen got a little smoky, now normally with the traditional alarms you would have a terribly loud and annoying siren going off. The nest gave me a pleasant warning in the form of a woman voice that told me that smoke was detected in the kitchen and that the alarm would sound soon, giving me a chance to hit the button to silence it and then turn up the fan on the rage hood to help clear the smoke. all of the while the previously mention little one was sound asleep and not startled awake by and unnecessary alarm. in addition the the nest thermostat I have had for several years now, I plan on adding more nest product to my home.
