Pros
- Without a subscription: Your Nest Protect will detect smoke/CO, sound its loud alarm with voice alerts, and send you push notifications to your phone.
- I have never once had a false alarm from Nest.
- I am this close to getting a nest protect because I thought that was the only reasonable option that was reliable
- IME, they work very well. They're don't false alert in the kitchen (unless you're actually burning something), notifications on the phone and the ability to silence them are awesome, and the path lighting is a nice feature. They're pri...
- My Nest Protect smoke alarms have been great. Even their wired models use a wireless interconnect, because it lets them do things like announce *by name* (you set a name for each alarm in the app) which room is alarming. They have a very...
Cons
- So sad google discontinued Nest Protect
- I can’t recommend Nest Protect. I’ve had them for years and honestly they have been fine but I won’t ever buy another Google product because they always kill stuff off, or change apps… and they have horrible customer service.
- While researching online, I came across Nest Protect that seem to be smart one.
- I've had several of them for about 7 years now. In that time, here are all the problems I've had: * One alarm's batteries ran out prematurely. * After installing one new alarm, it went off in the middle of the night for no apparent reaso...

IME, they work very well. They're don't false alert in the kitchen (unless you're actually burning something), notifications on the phone and the ability to silence them are awesome, and the path lighting is a nice feature. They're pricey, but worth every penny IMO
I've had several of them for about 7 years now. In that time, here are all the problems I've had: * One alarm's batteries ran out prematurely. * After installing one new alarm, it went off in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. * Once or twice a year, one alarm will report a problem after the self-test. ... My only complaint is the price. They're about $150 each.
My Nest Protect smoke alarms have been great. Even their wired models use a wireless interconnect, because it lets them do things like announce *by name* (you set a name for each alarm in the app) which room is alarming. They have a very nice self-test that happens automatically every month as well, so you'll know if one has a problem.
I changed all of my smoke detectors to Nest Protect and they have a built in “path light “ that does exactly this based on its motion / distance sensor. Starts low and grows brightness as you approach and slowly dims as you walk away.
