    I have 7 Nest Smoke detectors in 3 buildings... They work as expected. They still need a way to detect when I grill indoors.

    The smoke detector is a wired smoke detector so you don’t have to worry about batteries however if there’s a loss of power make sure you have batteries to back things up.

    This Nest Protect is the second one in our collection of Nest products. We are very happy with them. I was pleased to see how the two smoke detectors communicate with one another.

    I've always wanted to try the connected detectors and I got a second after I realized they create a network between each other to enhance their functionality. Definitely recommend

    The minute my brand new standard fire alarms started chirping, I sent them back. Haven't looked back sense, and as the few remining standard ones chirp, they will be immediately replaced.

    Usually good product but it still confuses items for smoke. Sucking up drywall dust made it go off. As well as the steam from my kids humidifier. Even though I was trying to silence it , the alarm continued to go off.

      Hi Daadaadaa,

      Thanks for sharing your feedback on Nest Protect. Getting false alarms can be annoying and this is certainly not the experience we want you to have with our product.

      As with any smoke alarms, dust build-up on the outside or inside of Nest Protect can impact the functionality. So it’s important to keep your Nest Protect free of dust and to clean it if dust is building up. For regular maintenance, simply wipe the outside of your Nest Protect with a soft, slightly damp cloth. If it needs a thorough cleaning, you can follow the detailed cleaning steps on this link:
      https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9254377

      We're always available to help you further with any concern you may have with your Google Nest products. Please feel free to get in touch by visiting https://support.google.com/googlenest/contactflow Nest

    Replacing an older nest protect i had. apparently they have to be changed every 8 years or so. I thought it would be as simple as plugging the new one in to the older wiring, it wasnt. I had to rewire using the new harness. but works good
