    I got the thermostat cameras in this. It all works perfect together. This is great for if you’re not home and a fire starts you’ll be notified right away.

    This new Nest Protect 2nd Generation will replace a 1st Generation Nest Protect. I expect it to work as well or better.

    I wanted to have a smart detector and this works perfectly with the rest of the Nest devices in my home. It isn’t much more than a “dumb” detector either.

    I purchased the Nest Protect to continue my venture into the smart home world. Although these smoke detectors communicate with each other wirelessly, I wish I had the option of a wired connection that would work with my Security system. The product works really well, but unfortunately I'm not able to use them anymore due to my homeowners insurance.

    Really enjoyed getting these installed in our home (we have two). They seem to work as advertised, but they don't false trip when I do some smokey cooking with the windows closed.

    I had a few problems with installation. Then it took me a while to figure out how to disable the night light. Other than it being overpriced, it’s pretty much like a standard not so smart alarm.

    This little unit packs a nice punch. Works seamlessly with the other Nest products I have. The added bonus of the carbon monoxide to the smoke detector is great. Wifi is awesome.

    We purchased two of these to replaced the aging smoke detectors in our home. They look great and seem to work well also. It's nice being able to check the status of them from our phones, and it gives us a lot of peace of mind regarding our pets knowing that we will get an alert if there is ever an alarm while we are away from home.

    Nice looking and it has a nice weight to it. I like that it has batteries but also the ability to be wired. Havent tried to test it yet besides pushing the test button, which of course made it sound. Will give 5 stars if/when it detects a fire correctly.
