    I have the original one and decided to add a few more. Nest protect is the best product out there. I can monitor my home while away and it produces fewer false alarms.

    Purchased a second smoke detector, we are doing an addition and needed another detector. I like the one we have because it warns you before it goes off, also it asks on the app if you want to turn off the AC if it's a real fire, or turn it on to clear smoke. Good device for sure, and I'm glad to add to the nest devices we already have.

    Could be better

    The interconnection functionality of this device could be better. Competitive models interconnect with other non wireless non smart detectors using your yellow/orange wire. But this one only interconnects with other nest protect devices. It’s not even use designed to use the interconnect wire. Code in my state requires all alarms to sound at the same time. To stay in compliance, you would need to replace all of them. Could be expensive for some. Also it has a humidity sensor a temperature sensor and a motion sensor but does not send that info to the neat thermostat for the purpose of changing temperature based on occupancy readings. It only sends the info to the thermostat to shut the fan off Incase of an emergency. I bought this and the thermostat thinking it was the best and I’m second guessing my decision. The fact that it isn’t HomeKit compatible also lowers its attractiveness. These two big time companies should get over their big egos. They could be much more productive. Time for a new model to come out

    Noticed I had missed one smoke detector so ran out and grabbed this one. Took less than 10 min to install and connect to my other best detectors.
