This item is amazing,i downloaded the Nest app to my phone and the app shows me that the unit is in good working order, this gives me peace of mind to know that the unit is constantly monitoring itself plus i can also check it.It does a self test daily as well.The feature of the path light on the unit coming on with a soft glow is great as it allows you to see where you are walking without fumbling for the lights.One improvement would be to see the battery life remaining on the app.

This was the perfect addition to my smart home. It fit right in with my cameras and doorbell and thermostat. The app is intuitive, and user friendly. The alerts are amazing and prompt. I installed them myself. Super easy to do.

I bought 3 devices. First one set up like a breeze, 2nd one had a little trouble briefly, but did interconnect with the 1st one...and the last one was a breeze also. So simple, you scan the barcode on the device with your phone and the app walks you through the rest....couldn't be more simple. The device it's self has been solid...no connectivity issue. The speak alarm is easy to understand and the automatic night light a nice touch. This makes me eager to see Nest's other products.

This is my second next protect as I was so impressed with the first.
Set up is a breeze by just mounting the plate, removing the battery protector sleeve, scanning the items QR code with the Nest app and twisting the protector into the mounting plate.
I really like the night light feature that automatically turns on when it senses your presence in the dark. It's also of great comfort to know that when you're away, the Nest app will alert you to any dangers it detects.

Glad I bought them. Easy to setup, advanced features like auto-testing are great. There is a battery version and a hardwired version, perfect for replacing existing hardwired and adding a battery version where there isn't wiring. The light is a nice feature, and it resides in the Nest app on your phone. Nest also updates them pretty frequently.

Nest smoke detector with battery

This is a great product. I purchased my first Nest protect a few years ago. And have since bought 2 since. The battery seems to last a long time. When there is no light around the Nest and it senses motion a night light will come on. It is not bright but will shine enough light to show a path at night. These will connect to other Nest protect units and all will alarm if one is in alarm.

This smoke/CO alarm is very easy to install, especially if you already have Nest products and the associated App. Mine hangs high up on a wall in my shop. It runs on batteries so no electrical connection was required. It indicates on the App that it is connected and self tests.
I intend to install another one in my house.

Amazing smart smoke detector. You can't go wrong with google nest. Battery powered, no wiring, and easily integrates to google home. Google will alarm you to anything plus we love how it performs monthly alarm checkups and batteries when we are not around to make sure everything is tip top!!
Provides a night light if walking by and talks to you if any warnings!!

BEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL SMOKE ALARM EVER

I know you’re not just supposed to love something Just because of its beauty but this Nest’s appearance was why I bought it and the second one too. Normally I find Smoke alarms/Carbon Monoxide detectors very unappealing. However these beauties are stunners and look gorgeous up on my ceiling. Our installation expert put it up in 10 minutes and it works perfectly. It is so convenient and works right from my iPhone app. You will love it!

I recently replaced all of my outdated fire alarms. I love my Nest! I can check the status from my phone and get a monthly report on my units. I can check the batteries (which are long life) and even shut the system down if I need to. A little pricer than other model but well worth the difference. Home or away I will get notice. Also, these units can tie in with the other Nest products (such as cameras and security)

Great Replacement CO/Smoke Alarm

The upstairs CO/Smoke Detector was getting old and time to replace, so I researched products and decided on the Nest Protect. It was super easy to install and connect to our house WIFI network, and showed up immediately on the Nest app. The Nest Protect monitors it's status each day, and sends a monthly complete self check report. The built-in night light is a great bonus!

Works very well and the nightlight feature is great when walking through the house at night. Nest app notifications work well. Only issue I've had is silencing the smoke alarm from the app. Not a very quick response when silencing from the app.

Brand response from Nest Support
Posted .
Hi Jeremy, we appreciate your feedback on Nest Protect (Battery). We're sorry to hear about the slow response when silencing the smoke alarm using the Nest app.
We recommend checking for possible congestion in your Wi-Fi network. Removing some of your connected devices can help free up some bandwidth space. You may then check to see if you will still experience the same connectivity issue. To further isolate the issue, you may also try setting up the Nest app with your Google Nest account on another mobile phone or tablet device.
If you´re willing, we'd like to take a look at the issue you are having and see how we can help you. Please do not hesitate to contact our support team here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp

Purchased 3 of these smoke detectors to replace the ones that were original to my house. The first one was easy to set up and the second two were even easier. Love the peace of mind this gives me since I have 4 children in my home. We also love the night light feature. I wish they were less expensive but I feel it’s absolutely money well spent.

I had to get it. I have pets at home that could be in trouble if my house caught on fire so this is great.!i love the fact that it rarely goes off while cooking (only when the husband does it) but it gives you a verbal warning before an annoying alarm. You can silence it and go about your business. Also if you are at work and your spouse is burning/cooking dinner you will know because it sends updates to your phone which is great

I've had our Nest Protect for awhile and wanted to review after we have used it. It's warning voice works well for smoke and for testing. And the battery works for a long time if you dont use the night light (and even the voice always). It appears in the app just fine and lets you know when last alert. And sign up for the Nest reports - it all comes together if you have other Nest products, thermostat, cams, ...

An Excellent Alarm and Excellent Design

There is nothing I can say negative. This is top quality and excellent design. I did something wrong in the beginning and switched the voice to Spanish. I called customer support and they were amazing helping me get it back to english and updating to the newest firmware. I have to say, I strongly recommend NEST anything! I sleep better at night knowing this is n the hallway. The night light from it is not too shabby either.
