The nest protect is simply marvellous. I wouldn't use any other since purchasing my two nest protect products. I didn't know the Philips Hue smart lighting "Works With Nest Protect".

I had an alert a couple of months ago where my frying pan created smoke. A friendly female human voice alerted me to smoke in the lounge. The voice went on to inform me, the alarm may sound. She informed me, the alarm is very loud. Immediately after the voice notification, my Philips Hue lights started flashing on and off. The same warning was coming from the other nest protect in my bedroom as well.

She informed me, the alarm is very loud. Immediately after the voice notification, my Philips Hue lights started flashing on and off. The same warning was coming from the other nest protect in my bedroom as well.

When I opened the windows, the same voice came back to inform me the smoke level was decreasing. a little while after, the voice informed me the smoke was now at a safe level and the lights stopped flashing.
I understand, if there was real fire, the Philips Hue lights would have flashed red. As red light is easier to see through smoke than a simple white light.

I am very impressed with the Nest Protect and will be purchasing more.

I installed a Nest Protect 2-3 years ago and put it in the hall. It works extremely well so it is worth the high price. Now I have a Nest Protect in every bedroom, the sleepout and the garage (7 in total). If one detector senses smoke all of them speak a warning. That matters to me with a 100+ year old wooden house. I also have 3 Nest IQ Outdoor security cameras (not yet available in NZ) watching the front and back on the house. They are equally expensive and well worth the investment.

Love it. I wasn't aware it had the motion sensor for a night light which was an added bonus. Love it. I wasn't aware it had the motion sensor for a night light which was an added bonus.

I tried different brands of smoke detectors, it's being installed for a couple of weeks now, so far so good. I haven't been woke up yet on false alarms, unlike the others. I like the design as well.

We bought this for our townhouse mainly because the alarms can be linked together, go off as one, and trigger an alarm on our phones for extra warning. The setup was easy via our the Google Home and Nest apps on our phones. The most challenging part was physically installing them on our ceilings, as the self-tapping screws were defeated by a harder-than-gib ceiling in our garage. Drilling holes in the ceiling did the trick in the end. If you are particular about symmetry remember these units are square and it may pay to think carefully about how they will look when you twist them onto the mounting ring.

It's nice to have a smoke detector that warns me if it is about to go off and I can then silence it. Also the motion activated night light has been so useful.

Fast and easy install, great features. Love the night light and self testing.
Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the cost is high. We needed 5 in our house which adds up as you need them all to be nests because they Link. However, these are both smoke and carbon minoxide alarms so it works out cost effective in the end;) Fast and easy install, great features. Love the night light and self testing.
