Title: Emails Your if Alarm Event Occurs. Peace of Mind When Away From Home.
Review: In 2014 I purchased and installed 6 Nest Protect Ver 1.0's on a remodeling job I was working on. They have been working well and have had no issues since. I just purchased an equal number of these Ver 2.0's for my own home and love them. The entire process has gotten much easier and more refined. The app has certainly gotten better in 2 years.I like the way the menus and user interface works and looks in the App. As soon as I start it up I can see the status of my system, perform a self check, look at the history of the readings and actions of the detector and various other useful actions. It runs well on my iPhone 7 and I've had no issues with the App so far.Installation of hardwired detectors took about an hour. The round mounting plate fits well over round ceiling boxes or rectangular single space wall boxes equally well. There are various screw hole spacings on the plate to accommodate different sized electrical boxes. The kit comes with 3 wire nuts and 4 screws. The screws are unlike and that I have encountered before and look very modern and nice. (not that you will be seeing them after installation). One wire nut for the hot (black), white (neutral), and one to cap the unused signal wire if you have it. The pig tail that comes with the Protect is about 6 inches long and is the perfect size.I like the way the Ver 2 Protect has a built-in microphone to self test it's own alarm speaker. That seems like a good self checking feature. I do wonder how many speakers have ever failed in smoke/CO alarms. I have never seen nor heard of one fail in that respect for the over 25 years and hundreds of homes that I have worked on. I am sure there is a statistic for that however. I hope the microphone is never used for privacy violations.I got the Protects because I wanted a smoke/CO detector that would email me if there was an alarm so that I would know when away from home. I looked but there really aren't any other competitors currently with similar device. I was hoping to get one that was Apple HomeKit enabled. I wish the Nest was HomeKit enabled, but as Google has positioned itself as a major competitor to Apple I don't guess that will be happening soon. Maybe they will add that when some competition does come to market. Right now Nest is still the only major option. I tried a couple of First Alert One Link detectors. Both the Battery and Hardwired versions failed miserable within 8 months on installation.This is a wonderfully designed device. I like everything about it. The path night light has proven to be a very useful feature. It gently lights up the pathways at night when motion is detected. I love that feature. The design aesthetics really go well anywhere you put it. It looks way better to me than any other on the market. The circle LED ring that changes colors based on state is very nice. (Blue, Green, White, Red). The voice guidance and room name announcement are excellent features. It has a pleasant and natural sounding voice. I really do think this a complete package. I wonder if there any other features that could be added. If there are I'm sure the designers and engineers at Nest are working hard to think some up. It is a 2nd generation product now and has little to no bugs. If only it was HomeKit enabled it would be a complete package for me. I'm still giving it 5 stars.

Title: The wait for gen 2 has paid off!
Review: I was always very interested in the original Nest Protect. I always loved the idea, but didn't feel the cost was justified given the negative reviews and early issues. Although they have been able to gradually improve the Nest Protect through software updates, I figured if I was patient enough, I could wait until they released a whole new hardware refresh. I'm glad I waited!Compared to the Nest Protect 1st gen, this one has an improved smoke chamber (fewer false alarms), smaller physical footprint, App Silence feature (silence alarm through app via Bluetooth), and other hardware improvements that extend the stated lifespan to ten years (up from seven)! All very good improvements.But does it work? Well, my house hasn't done the ultimate test of becoming engulfed in flames yet, but I did do some basic false alarm testing. Steam from a nearby bathroom, and light smoke from a candle, both failed to trip the alarm. So it seems their claims of fewer false alarms are true thus far.*Setup*Getting this set up was very easy. You can really tell they put a lot of work into the presentation and setup. The box is easy to open, and very welcoming with its simplistic and well-designed instructions. Everything in the manual is accompanied by very good pictures to help you along the way.Basically, the steps are:1) Download app (Android and iOS compatible) and create a free account2) Open Nest Protect box and remove hardware3) With app ready to pair device, pull plastic tab from Nest Protect unit to power it on4) Unit goes through some brief testing where you will be left with absolutely no doubt the alarm works (LOUD!)5) Unit will pair with your phone so you can enter in wifi network info, after which it will connect to wifi6) Remove old smoke detector and mounting plate7) Disconnect old smoke detector wires and reconnect new wires included with Nest Protect8) Screw in Newst Protect mounting plate and snap in other end of new wires to unit9) Twist in unit to new mounting plate10) Finish with another test and make final configuration changes via app. Done!This was the first time I had ever replaced a smoke detector, and I found it very easy.*Mobile App*The app is very well-designed and works well on both my phone and tablet. It also integrates with a ton of other home automation gadgets, which is really cool (Nest Thermostat obviously, Philips Hue bulbs, Skydrop sprinkler controller, and many others). Here's some of the things you can do from the app:- Change mode between Home and Away (not really relevant to CO detector, but good for other devices)- Iniitiate Nest Protect sound test, checkup- Silence alarm- Change Protect location (family room, bedroom, etc, for accurate communication)- Adjust Nest Sense:- - Toggle Pathlight to light your way when you are under Protect at night- - Nightly Promise (Unit self-tests and gives green "OK" light each night)- - Steam Check (reduce false alarms on steam, good for units near bathrooms)- - Heads Up (less loud & annoying pre-alarm warning when rising CO levels detected)- Adjust unit LED brightness (low, medium, high)- Change language (English, English (UK), Spanish, French, French (CA), Netherlands)- View unit status (model, serial, software version, battery status, replace date, last update time, wifi MAC/IP addresses)- Add/remove devices to your account- What To Do (advice on preparing for CO/fire alerts)- Device History (logs on alarms and updates)So overall, the Nest Protect is an expertly-designed device and I love it so far. It has everything I could expect from a smoke/CO detector. Although it would be awesome if it could double as a wireless access point or security camera! I will definitely update this as I get more time with my Nest Protect 2nd gen units, especially if I get false positives, or actual positives. But so far I am loving my Nest Protect.

Title: Huge improvement over new Kidde alarm
Review: The nest protect were easy to install and came with the wires to connect to my smoke alarm circuit. The app makes it easy to see the alarm status and TURN OFF AN ALARM if someone has simply burnt the toast.This was my first house with wired smoke alarms. There are a dozen or so and the kitchen alarm would go off even if doing minor cooking on the stove. This became a nightmare because the kitchen alarm then caused al the other alarms to go off. Resetting the kitchen alarm often did not stop the rest of the alarms and it could take an hour with a dozen 85 decibel alarms. The Nest Alarms can be controlled from the app and make it easy to silence a "false" alarm. Thank Goodness.

Review: I'm absolutely thrilled with the Google Nest Smoke Detector! Its sleek design blends seamlessly into my home, and the ease of installation was a pleasant surprise. The combination of smoke and carbon monoxide detection, along with its ability to alert my phone, provides an unparalleled sense of safety and peace of mind. The fact that it can differentiate between real emergencies and minor incidents, reducing false alarms, is a game-changer. Plus, the integration with other smart devices in my home ecosystem is incredibly convenient. Overall, the Google Nest Smoke Detector has exceeded my expectations and is an essential addition to any modern home.

Review: This is the best, that's it.Nest did to the 'smoke detector' what Apple did to the 'cellular phone': it made it relevant, interesting, useful, resourceful and finally, beautiful.I bought my first Nest Protect after a week fighting with my 'regular old school' smoke detector BLASTING LIKE CRAZY at 2AM for absolutely nothing. I did some investigation, might have been a spider/bug, too low humidity (because of summer AC/cooling), whatever the hell.I can tell you I was ready to pay any money to not be waken up at 2AM because of a stupid, non-threatening issue.And then I tried Nest Protect, and found love, respect and understanding.And then I bought more Nest Protect devices because I trust these devices a lot more than any cheap chirpin' gadget you find at the hardware store.Perfect device !!!

Review: Love this smoke alarm. Extremely straight forward set up. I use it for a kitchen space that is in a separate building from the house. It offers huge peace of mind while I'm away, that everything is OK!

Review: I love the peace of mind of these Nest wired smoke detectors.Our builder had put in another brand that we had constant false alarms, and issues with. Since moving to the Nest detectors, we have had no issues and I love the piece of mind of knowing that I can check the status on my Nest app on my phone while I’m away from home. Yes, these are a bit more money but they are worth every penny for your families safety.

Review: For the sake of the dogs, I wanted to upgrade the old school detectors so that I could be notified immediately by app if there was a fire. They were easy to setup and work well, I particularly enjoy the nightlight effect.One thing is to be careful when the batteries die, which unfortunately happened suddenly only months after purchase...there was no app warning about the batteries getting low, and when removing them from the device, they were incredibly hot to the touch.
