Red circle in middle indicates trouble! \u00a0Normal light will be blue<\/em><\/p>\n While Nest Labs (full review on the company here<\/a>) pride themselves in being able to turn otherwise mundane household gadgets to tech-savvy next-gen, home-automated versions. The Nest Protect Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm are a modification of the standard round smoke detector. While the regular smoke detector notifies when it senses smoke, the Nest Protect does more.<\/p>\n Here’s a look at the specification of a unit and what\u2019s contained in a retail box.<\/p>\n Phone alerts include:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Smart app control shown – free on iOS <\/a>and Android<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Package contents shown after opening<\/em><\/p>\n Nest before unboxing<\/em><\/p>\n Following the recall of the initial release of the Nest Protect on safety issues, the 2nd<\/sup> generation Nest Protect comes packed with new functionality that was not available in the initial release and other smoke detectors one of which is the split-spectrum sensor.<\/p>\n Pricing for the Nest varies starting with a single unit around $110-125. \u00a0Because most homes need 2-4 to cover the required amount of rooms, there are bundle deals for getting 2 at a lower cost. \u00a0If you can’t afford $200+ for multiple, begin by replacing 1 at a time and make it a long term goal to replace all. \u00a0(Example: replace all current smoke detectors within the next year with a Nest).<\/p>\n No products found.<\/p>\n DESIGN: 8\/10<\/p>\n FUNCTION:9\/10<\/p>\n DURABILITY:8\/10<\/p>\n EASE OF USE:7\/10<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Like all technology, the Nest 2.0 has shrunk in size and gotten better looks<\/em><\/p>\n The Nest Protect is slimmer and sleeker compared to the first generation Nest Protect. It measures:<\/p>\n Height: 5.3 inches (13.4 cm)<\/p>\n Width: 5.3 inches (13.4 cm)<\/p>\n Depth: 1.5 inch (3.85 cm)<\/p>\n Mass: 13.9 ounces (379 g)<\/p>\n Unlike the usually rounded shape of conventional smoke detectors. The Nest Protect takes a different path with its 4 sided designs which gives a better overall appearance than conventional smoke detectors. Available in two variants, battery powered and wired, both have the same measurement with the battery powered being slightly heavier. The Nest Protect is available in white, not much choice regarding color but it does give off a range of color of the circular LED indicator that goes around the circular Nest logo depending on the status of the set.<\/p>\n The Nest Protect has a lot of function which the traditional smoke detector doesn\u2019t possess. Firstly, it integrates smoke detection and carbon monoxide detector into the same gadget saving cost, it seamlessly integrates with other Nest products like the Nest cam and the Nest thermostat. The led indicator on the device gives off ranges of colors depending on the event.<\/p>\n Green Glow:<\/span><\/p>\n Shows when you turn off the light. Means everything is working fine<\/p>\n Light Glow:<\/span><\/p>\n Via a motion detector the Nest Protect light off your path when you walk under it. Different light intensity can be selected depending on choice or you can turn off the path-light function altogether from the App.<\/p>\n Yellow glow:<\/span><\/p>\n Depending om the level of a smoke detector, the yellow glow comes on to notify you to be alert.<\/p>\n Red Glow:<\/span><\/p>\n Signifies a high level of carbon monoxide and smoke. It sounds the alarm and tells you where the fire is coming from.<\/p>\n The Nest Protect reports to you in 8 languages depending on location warning you on danger and low batteries or any other alert you select.<\/p>\n Most smoke detectors have a shelf line of 5-7 years. The Nest Protect gives you a lifetime guarantee of 10 years, beating competition while providing you the best of smoke detection functionality.<\/p>\n The Nest Protect comes in two variants. While the battery-powered installation occurs in a breeze the wired might require an installer\u2019s services. \u00a0The Nest Protect works as advertised on paper in detecting smoke and carbon monoxide ignoring fake triggers while notifying via a firm voice with a location the source of the alarm before the loud Alarm goes off. \u00a0You simply replace it by mounting it to ceiling as shown by image below.<\/p>\n Cough cough…\u00a0<\/em>The Nest Protect compared to the standard smoke detector are miles apart. The extra functionality the Nest Protect offers shows what a smoke detector should be. With a sleek design and later technology, the Nest Protect is a huge upgrade every smart home should have.<\/p>\n 2 New Items to Consider putting in the Home A smoke detector otherwise notifies you when it senses smoke in your home which might suggest a fire outbreak.
