- Are you in the market for a new smoke detector? How about one that also is a carbon monoxide detector? What about if you have a smart home and you would like your new smoke detector to be a smart home device? Well, that is where the Google Nest Protect comes in. There are lots of smart smoke detectors out there but the Nest Protect is one of the original makers of smart smoke detectors out there.
This video will take you through the general build quality of the Google Nest Protect, setup, smoke test, link test, and much more. However, to find out more you will need to watch.

#Google #Nest #NestProtect - Наука та технологія
I just bought this Google Nest Protect and installed it today. Per the back panel it should be good until January 16, 2032! Setup and installation was seamless. It's helpful if you have a Gmail account. My router requires the device's MAC address for connection which can be found under settings in the app (I use Android). Looks like a nice piece of hi-tech gadgetry hanging on my hallway wall. 😉 I couldn't install it on my ceiling due to they are cement, but the wall should be fine. I ran it through a test. It is LOUD! The pleasant speaking voice and cool colored ring and night light are a bonus. 😃
Silence might be useful in S. Calif where we seem to get bad smoke from brush fires every couple of years. Also increased levels of smoke so we can run around sealing the house.
👍 Great review.
Happy to help.
@Kyle Hill Not sure, just one of those things we don't think about often because we do not see them advertised state side.
By the way thank you for the review
I have an original Nest and Protect from Nest. After one year I was asked to move to Google nest app. I have changed my batteries but I have never been able to check in on the app. On a monthly basis I get an email saying my Nest did not check in ‘OFF LINE on hallway’. I followed the set up instructions again last week when I was installing new batteries. I was setting it up on my iPad. My Nest is working fine testing and I hope it continues working until it expires in 2028. I would still recommend Nest as all tests are functioning correctly and it does glow at night in the hallway if leaving the bedroom to use the bathroom.
What Does The Original Nest Protect Look Like ?
I've just purchased a Nest Protect directly from Google because they had them on offer. Like you, I was assuming they would be newer as they would be shifting more stock than anyone else. However, when it arrived 3 days ago, it was new and sealed, yet it was manufactured in July 2019, so over 3 years old. Not very good as a third of its lifespan has expired already. I have emailed Google to complain, but no answer yet.
Thats a shame to hear. I wonder if the ones on offer were they trying to move older ones.
"The Paperweight doesn't work" Ha! That gave me a good laugh. Great review. Thanks!
Happy to help, I just tell it like it is.
Good KBB
I keep getting false alarms. The white pages says it may be because of steam or moisture. I don't understand since you are supposed to be able to put it in a kitchen where there is moisture from cooking and cleaning.
Yes, but there is an option in the app that you need to turn on in order to have that be active.
Is there a way to see the smoke detector via the google home app?
I don't think so it looks like they want to keep it separate.
Do you recommend these?
I do if you are looking for an interconnected detector that can be controlled from an app. If you are just looking for interconnected detectors there are some other cheaper options out there.
My Nest detector says it's detecting smoke but there isn't any smoke. It won't stop flashing yellow, what can I do?
When it flashes yellow that is a connection issue not detecting smoke. You may want to try setting it up again to make sure it has a strong connection to your wifi.
Is there a way to make it be just the voice? My dogs are terrified of the beeping sound.
Sadly there is not. I think that is more about fire codes then this actual alarm.
"It's not listening on you, so don't worry about that."
Yeah right! And what makes you say that?
If it actually was the battery life on this would be abysmal.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews The battery life IS abysmal. Even using their preferred batteries. Luckily, I didn't actually have to pay for these, they came with the house I bought. They are going in the trash.
CO... not CO2
I wanted this because my dog has panic attacks when the regular smoke alarm wants its battery changed, but its $600 to do my whole house 😱
It was a lot of money up front. But for me it also gives me peace of mind while I am out of the house. Fire and water damage are the things I worry about the most. I had an electrical heater in my condo catch fire early in the morning while I was still up to catch it. But I always worry now what if I was not up or out of the house when that happen. Then I can justify the price a little better. Also some home insurance companies will give you a discount for having smart smoke detectors.
@Wanderer001 Reviews quick question, what happens after the expiry date? Do you have to purchase again or will they replace the sensor etc
@@sephiroth4543 Like any smoke detector after the recommended life span it is going to be neccicary to purchase a new smoke detector to replace the ones you have.
@Wanderer001 Reviews Fair enough, it's going to be very expensive though
@@sephiroth4543 That is very true, there are a few other options out there that are a little cheaper depending. Roost makes a smart battery that can be used in old smoke detectors to make them "smart". X-Sense makes pretty reasonable priced smart smoke detectors. If you have a security camera like wyze they have a feature that if the camera heras a smoke alarm going off it will send you a notification. Depends on what you are looking for it to do.

which kind of coffee
I used to use a tipping services called by me a coffee. More of a tea man myself.
Hah, it’s not listening in on you… 😂
No more then your smartphone does.
BONK....the APP did not notify you of the smoke...when you pushed to silence the detector your phone was still black. The APP claims it will alert you to a fire with a POP up...all it does is show you a little bitty circle with a house in it. If this was a good APP is should alert you like those AMBER alerts do in the middle of the night. This nest APP does not. Oh and it will only allow you to add to one phone. We tried to add the same smoke detectors to other cell phones in the house and it does not allow you too. It will only work if you have the goggle assistant.
The app does a push notification to your phone, depending on the phone you have is what this would look like. As for my phone when you see it in the video I had already tapped the notification to open it up. So you see the screen it brings you to after tapping the push notification. As for getting something like you would for an AMBER alert Google would never allow something like that from an app. It would be consider a screen take over and people and companies don't like that.
Guess AMAZON doesn't like the Military. Just like so many other products. DOES NOT SHIP TO APO addresses. APO is a Military address. I've complained to Amazon. You should to. thank. This is a safety product that can save lives.
Well that is a shame to hear. Wonder why that is.
The military services control what can and cannot ship to an APO address, rarely it’s the companies. Companies lose money by not being allowed to ship to military addresses so they would if they could. Nothing to do about companies not liking the military. I’m a Veteran of 28 years so I have looked into these things.
@@donschafer3428 yes, certain items can't be shipped. But, i have looked up many products. Sort them by price. And MANY many many times. The cheaper items are not allowed to be shipped. But the more expensive products CAN be shipped. The EXACT same product. Only the ones shipped FROM amazon.
nest sowns neest
Made in China. Get Omnishield - 20 year battery and made in the U.S.
Most are. I have not heard of Omnishield before.
1. Compare the effectiveness of it vs First Alert Photoelectric-based devices.
2. Compare the dB volume levels each device in such comparison have.
Being in the fire service industry, I’m not a fan of first alert, even their photoelectric alarms. However, first alert IS a fire protection company vs GOOGLE is not. Both are made in china, among other quality issues. We recommend Omnishield, huge quality difference and life saving record difference.
@@codacNvegas ´:O I will check it out, absolutely !! Thank you Codac!
Brrrrrroooooooooooo wtf
Context? 🙃
Nothing worse than false fire/co2 detections.
So very true. That panic 3am alarm is the worse.
