Questions about Google Nest Protect

Hello, Sorry you are wrong as an example of the label from an online chat form on this subject. All smoke detectors have a life time label for the product. So my question is what is the manufacture date of the hardware you are selling? The Nest Protect Smoke/CO2 Detector bought Dec 26, 2017 has a manufacture date of 2017 May 06 with an expiration date of 2027 May 06.

Yes

This is because we work with different suppliers and daily prices. This can lead to fluctuations and price differences.

Yes

yes that's right

Yes, I've never had any problems with Wi-Fi. With foreign networks, it is of course possible that the provider blocks some ports.

Hello Antepante I don't see any difference between the products. The manufacturer also only has 1 model: https://store.google.com/de/product/nest_protect_2nd_gen?hl=de Hope this helps!

According to my research, the three units should be identical. However, they all have slightly different manufacturer numbers. It may be that Google gives their models different manufacturer numbers to indicate the intended distribution region. This is a practice that is also used to some extent by other large manufacturers.

No No Yes

Basically works with any router.

Yes, you can. Simply set it up in the app.

Unfortunately, we do not have any information on this at the moment, but as soon as we have the possibility to obtain them, we will include them in the shop.

The Nests I bought from Galaxus this year have a January 2034 expiry date, so usable for 8.5 years instead of the usual 10 so will be usable with the app until then. You can only see this when you open the box, and it is not certain that all expiry dates will be the same. I don't know when the new versions will be available in Europe.

As far as we are aware, the product is no longer in production. The date of manufacture of the devices currently available is generally between 2022 and 2023. The permanently installed sensor and battery unit is designed for a service life of 10 years from the date of manufacture. Accordingly, the remaining useful life is reduced by the number of years already elapsed, depending on the year of production.

Unfortunately, we are unable to state the exact date of manufacture, but the service life on receipt of the item should be around 10 years.

Thank you. Is the manufacturing date printed on the outside of the box? Do you do free returns for a full refund if the manufacturing date is not satisfactory? As the devices are programmed to stop working 10 years after manufacture, I would at most accept a late 2023 manufacturing date.

The device continues to function as a smoke and carbon monoxide detector even without a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection. However, it cannot send notifications to your smartphone or communicate with the app if there is no Wi-Fi connection. The devices can still connect to each other and trigger alarms if a problem is detected.

I cannot directly determine the generation of the Nest Protect sensor with the product code S3003LWFD. However, to identify whether a Nest Protect is first or second generation, you can check the physical characteristics such as the rounded edges for the second generation, or look at the serial number on the back label for codes starting with 06A or 06C for the second generation.You can also check the serial number on the back label for codes starting with 06A or 06C for the second generation.

No - although if you switch off Bluetooth and WLAN, you turn the smart smoke detector into a dumb one - you can get them much cheaper at the DIY store.

You don't need a hub or other central unit to connect the smoke alarm to your home network. The detector can be used directly and standalone as long as you have a smartphone and a WiFi connection. All you need to do is install the Nest app to configure and control the detector.

No. These things have been on the market for years. It's not even compatible with the Google Home app yet and still uses the old Nest app

In April 2024, Google announced that it would discontinue support for some older Nest products. However, this did not concern the Google Nest Protect devices. Rather, it was about older camera models and thermostats that are to be replaced by newer versions. The different versions are either battery-powered or mains-powered. The fact that there are more than two different variants of these is due to the fact that some of them are imported devices and these are then listed as a separate item, as is the case with many products. The prices are different for the last mentioned reason, among others.

Hello, I have stuck an NP to the wall with strong adhesive tape; it works perfectly

Yes, can be set

It‘s 2nd generation. Ordered it quite a while ago and it was a 2nd generation device.

Is also a smoke or fire detector. Correct, this model can be connected directly to 220V, whereby this is provided (without earthing) by means of a small plug supplied. It is therefore easiest to install on a ceiling light point.

I have several Nest Protects in use and recently had the same problem. One of the smoke alarms lasted 3 years and after replacing it a few weeks later, the message came back that the batteries were low. Solution: Use lithium batteries! It says so on the smoke alarm itself, as well as in the instructions. Alkaline batteries only last a few weeks/months. I ordered these here and since then there has been peace and quiet again: Varta ULTRA Lithium (2 pcs., AA, 2900 mAh)

Carbon monoxide is invisible, unlike smoke. Not all detectors are equipped with it. Some detectors only work with smoke. Often the articles are translated from German and some terms may be different. It works very well for me and it's good equipment. 👍
