Hello. Probably the price was adjusted for the single, but forgotten for the 3. Please ask the customer service if you have questions about prices and delivery times according to the board rules, the community cannot answer them. https://digitec.ch/de/Wiki/4490 digitec@digitec.ch or +41 44 575 95 00

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.

digitec must answer how old the devices are in stock. The batteries should last about 3 years. My system has only been in operation for a year and works without any problems. The devices are registered and configured via the app. The Wifi network and password are also set. They then communicate with the Nest server via WiFi. The messages are then sent to the app, regardless of the network. With the smoke detectors, the on-site alarm with the siren is probably more important. The same thing works with a Nest surveillance camera.

I am not aware of this. Nevertheless, the product runs very reliably and flawlessly. Top product.

Yes

In db you would have to study the technical documents, but the detectors are really very loud and the signal tone is also passed on by the radio connection.

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!

No No Yes

Then buy 3 single ones! There are problems...

Basically works with any router.

no, the nest devices are not google home compatible

2te

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

Yes.

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 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.

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

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)
