    Great product, I would give it a 5 stars but you still need the nest app to set it up.

    I love the product and the concept is awesome! Was just a little tricky on set up with connecting to the WiFi. And side note: the one it replaced was on the side of a wall up high, not the ceiling, so the whole it lights up when you walk past feature doesn't work, a little bummed about that. Thought its sensors would still pick up movement.

    This is the second Nest Smoke Alarm we've purchased; it's for another part of our home. Connecting to Wi-Fi was a bit challenging, but other than that it works great. Our cats don't agree because the alarm is so loud, but what do they know?

    Our dog goes crazy when the battery alert chirps. I set off the alarm with my cooking. Nest protect never chirps and, it you activate it with a little kitchen smoke, it just gives you a gentle heads up. Love it!

    The smoke detector works great if you have multiple smoke detectors in the home - I would make sure that you look to see if you are going to go with wired or battery since wiring takes a bit more time.

    This is still the best smoke alarm on the market. It detects carbon monoxide, and both types of fires, and it announces the room with the issue.

    I purchased this product to compliment my other Nest products and am pleased I did. For just a little more than a decent smoke/CO detector, I also have the convenience of being notified on my phone and being able to check on status from anywhere.

    I feel SO much safer now with these installed in my phone. Not only for fire/smoke but also for the carbon monoxide! Have had ZERO problems with setup or "false" alarms that other folks have had. Great product, great app, easy setup!

    I like all my Nest equipment, have had many since Nest first started. The setup is still a pain. Have to have another device near buy, has to be near the router. Who keeps their router and smoke detector within 10 feet of each other?

    Was hesitant to spend this kind of money on a smoke detector but I am glad I did. Worth every penny as the smart features make this device super simply to use. Now have replaced all my smoke detectors with this smart style.

    Awesome looking device. I bought this as a Gift so I can't say 100% about its functionality. I will probably purchase one based off of the feedback I get.
