Perfect for peace of mind!

These were so simple to install and connect via the app. Really gives me some extra peace of mind knowing I have notifications at my fingertips if I am not home and something were to happen. Setup was so easy, installation was easy as well. I did strip the wires does a hair further to fit better in the wire nut. I would definitely recommend the hardwired versions if you are trying to figure out what you want to get. I did have a false alarm from my bathroom last night, the steam from the shower went out into the hallway when the door opened and set it off, luckily it does let you know before it goes off completely so I could silence it! I think it will learn after a few times that it doesn't need to go off. I will update if I continue to have this problem but I am not anticipating that! I definitely recommend you get this! If you are going to spend the money on new smoke alarms, pull out a few extra bucks to get something you can rely on!

Been great, started false alarms, NEST is sending a free replacement

We've had no issues for the first 10 months. Last week we had two false smoke alarms when there was no smoke. This was the gentle amber notification. This morning upon opening the bath door (heavy steam) the alarm went into high alert. We turned on the house exhaust fan to clear any humidity and manually silenced the Nest. After 5 minutes or so it went off again and this time would not allow silencing. We had to remove its batteries. Called customer service, who answered within 2 minutes, and they transferred us to a specialist who reviewed our account (Nest has a full history) and immediately issued a free replacement which should arrive overnight. And they will include a return label to send the defective unit back for their engineers to explore the false alarms. We've already received the email confirmation from Nest. This is a good review because the company is responsive, appears to care, and is following through. While perhaps a bit inconvenient and a little startling at least we are all safe and Nest is standing behind their product. We're impressed.

Who would’ve thought a smoke detector could be so much more?

So, my home is 20 years old, and none of ours old detectors had ever been replaced. When they started failing, I knew it was time to do something about it. I have been teaching in my local CERT class, and we had been discussing different kinds of smoke detectors, and I knew I needed something better than what I had. As I began my search, there were quite a few well-rated smoke detectors available. However, these nest detectors kept being at the top or near the top of everyone’s list. My home is not super fancy, but I like it to be nice. I set aside the money, and decided to give these a try. Honestly, that was the biggest deterrent using these. The cost was a hard pill to swallow, but after looking at all the different things that these detectors would and could do, I felt that nothing else would quite match. When they arrived, everything was packaged very nicely the directions were easy to follow and the app was easy to find. My teenage handyman son and I had no trouble initializing them with the app on my smartphone and getting them installed. The only downside that we came across was in giving each detector a location name. There were some already set up in the app and on the detectors, but not enough to easily label my modest home. You can add names, but when the detectors go off, they will talk to you and tell you where the trouble is located by that name. Names you add are not able to be spoken by the detector. For example, we have one near my kitchen. Earlier last week we had some toast burn, and so when the detectors went off they announced there was smoke coming from the kitchen. If I had had to rename that detector it would not have been able to tell me where the smoke was. That was a little frustrating trying to name the different rooms in my home in a way that made sense to how we spoke of them and still fit with the vocabulary of the detectors. Now that everything is in there are some things I really love and some things that take some getting used to. I really love the light signal that lets me know that the detectors are checking themselves each evening as all of the house lights go off. I also really like the communication that I have with my smart phone, remember that burnt toast? I was able to silence the alarm easily from my cell phone and we didn’t have to put up with the screeching detectors or fan any of the smoke away from them. The night lights are nice too. But I have a couple of children who are light sleepers and so I’ve had had to turn off the night light in their room so that it wouldn’t keep waking them up every time they or the dog moved. I love having CO2 detectors available and the ability to let those motion sensors work with a thermostat in the future to be able to learn how we use our home and adjust that thermostat accordingly. Altogether I am very pleased with our nest detectors, I think there are some possible improvements, but they are way beyond what I have had in the past.

Very happy so far!

After being awoken at 3 am by a malfunctioning traditional smoke detector, and having to deal with the aftermath of a resulting fussy baby, I decided to do some research on modern smoke/carbon monoxide detectors. The Nest Protect had great reviews, and here’s my experience so far. The unit arrived well packaged, with clear instructions. I was prompted to download the Nest app, and scan the detector with my phone prior to installing. There were a few prompts and settings to configure, but nothing too time consuming. Primarily configuring the unit to work with your Wi-Fi, which was easy to do. I was instructed to run a test, and was pleased by the clarity of the voice that came from the unit advising me that a test would begin in 10 seconds. The voice was also nice enough to let me know I had 10 seconds to cancel the alarm test, as the alarm would be loud. The alarms themselves (both smoke and carbon monoxide) sound like a traditional detector. They are accompanied by a color coded warning, though, which makes for easy understanding of what’s going on. Also, depending on the severity of the detection, the color will change (i.e. if toast is burning the color will be different than if your couch is on fire). The unit can detect how much smoke is in the room, and gives you the option to silence from your phone/tablet. Also, if the alarm goes off while away from home, you receive an alert. Other nice features: 1. Low battery warning will never go off in the middle of the night (major selling point for me!) Also, alerts are sent to your phone, so you don’t have rely on annoying beeps to know batteries are wearing out. 2. Installation was surprisingly easy for the wired version, and literally took about five minutes. However, the square shape of the unit did not completely cover the marks left from uninstalling the old, round unit. 3. I LOVE the motion detection capability. If you walk under the unit at night, a soft white glow is provided to illuminate your way. A small feature, but pretty cool in my opinion! Very happy with the unit so far, and I will post a follow-up once we’ve had some time to live with it for a while. The only negative so far would be the fact that the unit, while nice looking, is smaller than my old smoke detector, which requires some ceiling touchup painting (I might just leave as is, as it’s not that bad).

THIS PRODUCT SAVED MY HOUSE AND PETS!!

I purchased my first NEST Protect product about a year ago directly from NEST. My son told me, "Mom a smoke alarm doesn't do you any good unless you are HOME to hear it" 1 week before Christmas my NEST alarm sounded on my phone and iPad with a loud alert at 8:45 AM. I looked at the phone and it said "Smoke in Den" I live close to where I work so I rushed home. Sure enough, there was smoke in the house and I could see it burning through the ceiling tiles. (electrical fire in attic) Called the fire department at 8:52. At 9:07 AM I received another alert from NEST that the smoke was clearing. The fire department, my neighbors and insurance agent were amazed at how quickly the fire was discovered and contained. Without the NEST alert the fire would not have been discovered until it burned through the roof of the house. The $99 onetime cost is nothing compared to losing your house and pets. I bought 3 more for the other rooms in my house from Amazon. Whether you own or rent, this is a MUST HAVE product.

You can sleep well with these

So when I bought my home I went to Home Depot and bought a 10 pack of the $2.00 Smoke detectors thinking "Go Me, I'm protecting my house with 10 of these". now I am not knocking these $2.00 Products they may be very good and obviously a great price, but I dont think we shold be risking our family on $20 whole home smoke detector system. So I decided, all of the money I spend on junk, why am I cheaping out on the important stuff. I wanted a system that when one went off they all went off. I wanna know in my room if there is a fire on the other side of the house, so I can get my family out. So I ordered 7 of them... I have one in the kitchen, the living room, the basement, the upstairs and one in each of the three bedrooms. I love the glow features to let me know the status, I love the test feature. We have had a couple things burn while cooking so they have gone off and have done everything they were supposed to. The app is great. the devices are loud (Louder the better, when your asleep and it matters). You can even set up multiple homes, so I just bought one for my camper as well since you only need wifi to set it up and then it works with out it. I know its not tied to the others but they still work great on its own. Yes there are other things I can spend $1000 on, but not sure there is anything more important to spend it on, but my whole home is protected and but I trust nest now, and I that is what I want screaming at me in the middle of the night if there is a problem.

Convenient in ways I didn't even know I needed!

Love these. We have three dogs that freak out at any random noise, and I have a husband that likes to cook and doesn't pay attention to the smell of burning. I also habitually forget to replace batteries on smoke detectors at the time change like you're supposed to. These units warn you before actually going off, with a pleasant vocal message that smoke appears to be building, giving you time to silence the alarm before it goes off and makes the dogs crazy, while simultaneously telling your husband to deal with his burning food. They also have a motion sensor when you walk into the room in the dark, they will light a dim light for you (the lighting brightness is adjustable). I get a status report from them monthly, and although they perform a test monthly, it's just a quick series of beeps, and although it wakes the dogs up, it's not enough to start a full-scale panic. If they were ever to go off when we weren't home, we'd get an alert on our phones that there was a problem, and could make sure it was addressed. Would totally buy again, even though they're an arm and a leg.

Best Smoke/CO detector out there. Easy install too.

I bought these to replace most of the aging smoke/CO detectors in my house. Like everyone else, I despise the chirping that occurs when the battery is low as it seems to always occur at 3am and only on the devices at the highest peak of the house. The Nest detectors appealed to me as they combine some high tech wizardry that I think will be nice in the future. If you are concerned about install, it actually is really easy. Setup was a quick scan of a QR code using the Nest app on my phone. I bought the wired version, which if you have any basic concept of home wiring, this will be a breeze. Hardest part was setting up the ladder. I had four of these up and going in about an hour. All of them came online, ran thru self tests and appear in the Nest app. The path light has been a neat feature especially for the little ones who still need a night light. I work graveyards and when I come home at night, the path light comes on just enough that I can see where I am going without needing to turn on a light - disturbing my wife in the process. I bought four of these from a local furniture store using some in store credit I had accumulated. Since I bought all they had in stock and needed one more, I got the last one on Amazon. Four went up pretty quick and the fifth one took a little longer. However that was my fault. I got sidetracked during the setup and accidentally put the language as Spanish. This took me a bit to figure out how to get it back to English. Moral of the story is to give the setup process your complete and undivided attention.

NEST Integrates with easy! - Future Proofing - Solid Hardware - Great App

MY OPINION: I currently am working on building a smart-house one item at a time. I have the Nest Thermostat and many other products house so i though that it would be beneficial that i get the Smoke & Carbon Monoxide detectors. I needed to replace all the smoke detectors in my house anyway so it actually worked for me. Yes i know that they are pricey but, buying with Nest insures that there will be updates in the firmware and you are future proofing the technology. Also, you will get a low battery notification on your phone when the batteries are about to die. No more chirping in the middle of the night. WHY TO BUY OVER REGULAR DETECTORS: (features) Waving at the detector if there is a false alarm to silence. Pathway - the blue ring will light up white at night when movement is sensed, very helpful when navigating the room at night (you can adjust the brightness that you want it) Another cool thing if you have pathways turned on is the app records when the light was on and off so you can track what time certain events happened. (I will attach picture) Ring around the middle button will be a visual if there is an issue. (Disconnected from network - Smoke Detector - Alarm Sounding) INSTALLATION: The installation was very easy. It really is plug and play. All the detectors come with a 9v battery that is rated to last for years. They are very expensive 9v batteries and are made for this type of application. They are easy to take down from the roof/wall with a simple twist. APP: The app aides with setting up this device so that it connects to your existing network and smart appliances. Currently I am using the Net Thermostat, and SkyDrop with these smoke detectors. (SkyDrop will turn sprinklers on in a 3 minute interval if a fire is detected to try to limit the fire from spreading) The one complaint that i have about this detector is that every time you need to change the wifi name or password you have to manually factory reset each smoke detector and set it up again. Nest really needs to make a way inside the app to just change the settings because its not very convenient to get the ladder and go to all the smoke detectors and reset them. PROS: Buying from NEST Solid built hardware Firmware updates Loud! - Only when they need to be CONS: Network Changes require factory resetting each device.
