Nest Sensor Alarm Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector
The Google Nest Protect is a smoke and carbon monoxide detector that speaks to you in a friendly voice, providing early warnings for smoke or CO. It features a Split Spectrum Sensor that detects both fast-burning and smoldering fires, and alerts you to the location of the danger. The system connects to your phone, sending alerts even when you're away from home, and you can silence the alarm using the Nest app when only a little smoke is present. The device tests its own batteries and provides a Nightly Promise, so you’re always assured it's functioning properly. Additionally, the Nest Protect has a built-in Pathlight that lights your way when you walk under it. With a 10-year sensor lifespan, it also includes a Safety Check feature to test all alarms with a tap, sending a full report afterward. The device connects via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and it can notify you if the alarm goes off or the batteries are low. The carbon monoxide detector provides location-specific alerts, and the Heads-Up feature gives early warnings for minor issues like burning toast.
