    Bringing smart tech to detectors

    I've had the nest protect for a few months and it works great. You can check all tests and updates on your phone app and it brings a modern look to an otherwise typically boring product. Nice feature lighting up the hallway when you walk by it in the dark

    Insanely easy to set up and install. Very cool lighting on it. Only thing I would wish is that the base would be a bit bigger to accommodate the space where the old detectors were. The Nest has a smaller footprint than those ones did. For some of my hardwired old detectors they were using round electrical boxes and the Nest mounting screws don't line up with that configuration. No big deal I just left the old ones up and put these ones up nearby.

    Replaced a 10 year old smoke detector with the Nest to go with the other Nest alarm. Setup was quick and straight-forward, and the alarm works great. Really like the night light feature and the monthly self check.

    The Nest wired alarm replaced an old smoke alarm. The included instructions were easy to follow to sync with the Nest App. Easy install. I also like the little night light that activates with motion.

    I bought the hard wired ones to replace the existing smoke alarms. They are very easy to install. I really like the night light feature; it lights up your path as you walk near it or you can leave it on (great for kids rooms).

    Nice upgrade from your typical, old-school CO2/smoke detector. I feel the price is just a tad over what it should cost the consumer. Overall, it looks good and the motion sensor night light is perfect. I purchased the wired so I wouldn't have to change the batteries down the road. The bracket holding the detector is not as flush ad the battery one.

    Bought to replace other brand wired alarms that had multiple false alarms over three month period. These have been great. Based on lab testing, very reliable sensor for fire and CO. No false alarms. Easy to test and control from the app.

    Very easy to install and great product to protect your home from smoke and carbon monoxide. Also they are great nightlights as they light up when motion is detected (can be disabled in settings if not wanted).

    I bought couple of these 2 years ago and bought 4 more now. These show up on Google Nest app when added. You can schedule sound checks. App shows history and status. Overall, great purchase if you wanted to have some control on fire or co2 alarms.

    Like nest thermostat, this device performs flawlessly. Purchased 3 of them and installed few weeks ago. Very simple to configure and install, intuitive and simple to use. Night light feature is helpful in navigating dark hallways and rooms.

    Love everything about this device except the cost but that's what you pay for high tech. Easy to install and sync to network for a DIY. The functions are incredible even down to the night light that is motion activated. You won't be disappointed!

    Next Protect - look no further for the best

    We recently bought five of the Nest Protect 2nd Generation Smart Smoke/Carbon Monoxide wired alarms to replace the outdated units in our home. Not only are these alarms chock-full of smart technology that integrates seamlessly with other Nest products (i.e. Next Thermostat), the units themselves are sleek and beautifully designed to match any decor. Some of the most notable features is the constant self-monitoring (several times per hour) of the units and the motion sensor night light which gives off an ambient glow when tripped (great for those mid-night restroom breaks). And with Nest Thermostat integration, the alarms can be configured to turn off the HVAC unit to eliminate the spread of smoke and/or carbon monoxide in the event of an emergency. I couldn't be happier with my decision to upgrade to these units.

    I have 4 of these bad boys and they all connect together and work great. I also use them with my Nest Thermostat to turn up the heat when someone comes home. I love the Path light feature to lighten up the hallway or room just enough to see things.

    I am a fan of Nest products so I decided to upgrade to the Protect. Installation was simple and easily linked to my Nest account. I love the heads up feature and the ability to silence the alarm before it goes off so the kids don't get scared.

    They are awesome. They look sleek and save lives. Our power went out and it notified me. It is not as sensitive as the alarm that was there, so you can burn things and not have to fan the alarm. Lol. Of overall a great product and easy to install.

    Very satisfied with my nest protect and it is a huge upgrade over the smoke detectors that I had. I like the soft glow emmited by them in the dark as it provides just enough light to see. I also love that I don't have to climb a ladder anymore to test as it can be done though the nest app on my iPhone. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because of the price. I needed 7 of these and at $99 a piece it was a pricey upgrade. But overall I'm happ with the purchase.

    We wanted to upgrade our home alarms and include a few with some smart features. The most surprising feature to me is the night light, I didnt know when I bought it that it comes with a nifty night light and other than knowing that we are *(hopefully) protected from smoke and carbon monoxide threats, the night light is an extra touch that I have used daily and really makes this a winner. I havent really figured out much use for the nest app yet, but it works and I can see that its online and checks out each night on schedule.
