    Flattened by Google - previously top product

    Update April 2023: (2 to 1 stars)
    Google has now discontinued both the complete API interface as well as the support via IFTTT - meaning that the thing can still communicate with the Nest app, but integration into a building     automation system is no longer possible - this as a modern, networked and not exactly inexpensive device, which is absolutely brilliant in terms of hardware. In other words, Google has simply crushed a competitor.

    I have now bought 12 smoke detectors for about 1500 CHF, which are about as useful as a 12 CHF model from the DIY store.... alarm when there is a fire - All other possibilities have been neutered.... Shame on you, google!

    Update April 2020: (4 to 2 stars)
    Contrary to the original promise to take over the product with no end user impact, the product can now only be read online via the Google account via the cloud. For me, a knock-out criterion when buying was that the sensors can be read out via LAN, which was possible via the Nest account with an API code. Now this still works, but can no longer change anything.

    Am otherwise a Google fan, but this action was probably just an elimination of a competitor. I unofficially see the product as end-of-lifetime, strategically by Google. I will be glad to be taught better if Google still makes this possible for the product.

    Therefore, leave it alone...

    I have now installed 12 of them and am so far thrilled with the device. The device status can also be called up via Node-Red, but unfortunately not any more. Nevertheless, a great product with an absolutely impressive runtime for battery operation, if you think about the Wifi and radio connection, daily tests, motion detection with night light, etc....     

    Pro

    Flawless, beautiful and functional product - there is simply nothing better in my opinion.

    Best smoke detector + CO detector on the market. I have 6 of them in use (originally from England, more were then imported from Germany), the oldest two for a good 2 years. Absolutely no problems. The price may seem high at first, but no other smoke detector offers such comfort and the flawless self-diagnosis as the Nest Protect.

    Apart from that, there are not very many products that also have a carbon monoxide alarm integrated - such should be installed in every home where stoves and / or oil heaters are in operation.

    Nest Protect also offers the warning as a voice output - this is especially in households with children or young people under 14 years much safer than normal piezo alarms, because children and young people up to a certain age are demonstrably poorly awakened by conventional smoke detectors.

    Is certainly not a smoke detector for 25 Fr. from the supermarket - but also offers much more, eg the alarm when you are not at home. I can only recommend the things (like all Nest products, by the way).

    recommended to everyone.

    Perfect protector. Installation and operation are simple and well explained. I like the design very much. Volume very good...can be heard very far. I can recommend it to everyone. The night light function is also good. But I haven't set it for all of them because it sometimes reacts a bit too finely.
