- Is the Nest Protect worth it? Should you buy a Nest Protect? What's inside the box? I will try to answer all those questions in my review and thoughts on Nest Protect version 2 smart smoke detector.

*Easy setup **do7.pl/smoke2** as long as you don't get it stuck in a language you can't speak.*
All smoke detectors/CO detectors only last for about 10 years.
Would be sweet if they would connect to the nest guard and would act as a speaker so if you were upstairs and the front door opened it would say “front door opened” over the smoke detector
Yeah I thought that be cool too or if the alarm goes off the smoke alarm does too.
Or as a motion sensor
Yep should have that. Would be cool.
Integrate it with IFTTT so that when your smoke alarm goes off it switches all your smart sockets off (or selected ones) and turns all of your lights on.
Home or away you know if an alarm is set. That is sorta OK is it not?
they are also carbon monoxide detectors to
They sell temperature sensors to work with your nest thermostat to make your heater heat that room to the temperature you want instead of where the thermostat is. It would be nice if those sensors were built into the smoke detector consolidating the amount of stuff you need to buy
I agree but the funny thing is if you look a the spec sheet for the Nest Protect it has a temp sensor along with a bunch of other sensors built into it. Unfortunately there is just no way to access them at this time.
Google offers security monitoring with the Nest Secure. They need to pair that with smoke detector monitoring with the Nest Protect!!!
Why you are not seeing temperature sensors, integrated google home etc. is because it would significantly reduce the expected life of the battery in the non-wired models. Sure, this is not a problem for the hard wired models, but then it may not be worth Nest's time or money to be manufacturing all these add-ins for just the hardwired version. $120.00 for a 10 year combo smoke and carbon dioxide detector comes to $1.00 a month. Plus the competitor is charging $50.00 or about 42 cents a month (sure if you are getting 3, it is an extra $210 up front)---however another thing you are getting for this added cost is the product and technology (and presumably underlying testing and reliability) that it is backed by a $500 billion dollar technology company, can link to your thermostat and turn it off in the case of a fire (to slow the spread of smoke through the ducts), comes with a reliable app that can alert you to a fire when you are not home, links to other Nest Protects to help alert to where the fire is (sure if you have a smaller house this really doesn't matter), whereas these other manufacturers--while yes have been around for decades, they appear to have been sitting on their back sides taking it easy. An extra 58 cents a month for a well designed, backed and tested unit is not a bad investment. God bless America where competition benefits the consumer!
well, that and if it had a temp sensor, the sensor would be all over the place.
If you have it on your top floor ceiling, it'd be reading higher temps than what you'd actually be feeling, especially if you have very tall vaulted ceilings like in my home. I can jump in my room with my arms stretched up and feel a temperature difference between standing level and ceiling level. So the sensor reading would be reading at least 3 degrees higher than what you, the user, would feel.
You have to have the app? Can we install and leave it?
You need the app to connect them to your Wi-Fi network and they need to be on your network in order to work together as one system.
It's all fun and games until a hacker prevents them from going off when there is a *real* fire.
Might want to mention that Nest Protect will not work with 3rd wire (wired interconnect) on other detectors. The function of this is so all detectors in the home are wired together, so that if one goes off, they all go off. Nest Protect does not support this, unless all your detectors are Nest Protect. Their claim is that wireless is "better". For $120, that seems pretty lame of Nest, because of course they want you to buy multiple Nest Protects, they have no motivation to have them work with other less expensive detectors.
Christopher Rizzo I was disappointed to learn about that, too. I want the old school smoke detectors, too. I know Ring offers a sound detector, so I hope Google will offer that functionality somewhere. Leeo may be an option, too.
That's 12 bucks a year for peace of mind sign me up!
Did I miss something? What's $12.00 per year?
120 bucks for the unit at full price. Replaced every 10 years that would be about 12 bucks a year broken down. That's what they meant
Where did you get this offer? Is it still available?
I got them from my local Lowes it was on clearance. I went to other Lowes in my area trying to find the same deal but they were all full price. I think I just got lucky.
Mike's Likes really appreciating your kind and quick reply, did you lost your connection for more than 10 or 15 minutes? As when I loose the connection for less than that the cam can connect but for more than 15 minutes or never reconnect, and thank you for your solution for the cam, I will try it soon.
Wow
My question is why you thought it would set off all the others in the house if you tested it. Didn’t you just pull out the tab and NOT set it up yet? Hmm
I bought 3 of them. I had already opened and installed another one before I made this video to figure out how it works. When you run a test it will make all of them go off one at a time.
I will be so grateful if you could turn off your intent router and reconnect it after about 15 minutes and check if it gets reconnect after internet connection comes back, my Nest Indoor Cam does not reconnect in this scenario unless I restart it manually
I have lost my internet connection many times (Spectrum is not the best) since I have installed the Nest Protect and it has always reconnect to the network with no problems. Try setting up your Nest cam with a static IP. In your router you should be able to assign the Nest Cams mac address to a static IP. It might help.

The drop times always change but it can be as much as an hour. Luckily its been better but for awhile it was almost every day.
@@MikesLikes , and ALWAYS Nest Protect get reconnected soon the connection comes back? or will take time to reconnect or maybe once or more it did not reconnect unless you manually restart or wait for a long time ???
Sometimes it comes back right away other times is takes a few minutes but I have never had to manually restart them.
$52 each! Thats a smoking deal. I wouldn’t care about the -3 years. I’ve held off because $100 each is crazy.
Justsome Randomdude good one that’s a smoking deal
Mine are 20 years and still working.
Know before you guy: Nest Protect does NOT work with Google Home. This is so fucking ridiculous. They're the same company.
I think it is outrageous that it is in Spanish and not French.
The Sounds of the Suburbs it has French as well.
Do yourself a favor and don’t get a Nest thermostat.
Commercial HVAC tech.
Oh Really, why is that?
Agree I took mine done after 6 months
Sold my Nests. Replaced with Ecobee. Ecobee > Nest.
I have two thermostats, 7 cameras, one door lock, and two doorbell/cameras. All work perfectly. Bought one at a time till I was convinced of reliability and quality. Great Products. If you are an HVAC tech....I suspect not a very good one.
