Google Nest Protect – Smoke Alarm And Carbon Monoxide Detector – The Smoke Alarm That That Others Look Up To (Battery) 3 Pack
The smoke alarm that others look up to.
Nest Protect is a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm with a split-spectrum smoke sensor to detect both fast- and slow-burning fires. It can send an alert to your phone,[1] speak to you and even light the way in the dark.
It tells you what the danger is and where it is.
The Split-Spectrum Sensor looks for both fast- and slow-burning fires. It also has a 10-year CO sensor so that it can tell you where poisonous, invisible CO is hiding. And all your Nest Protects speak up at the same time to tell you what’s wrong and where the problem is.
-
Easy to install.
Nest Protect only takes minutes to set up with your iOS or Android device. Once you’ve added each of your Nest Protects to your Nest account, they will automatically connect to each other.
-
Thoughtful, not annoying.
Nest Protect checks itself over 400 times a day and lets you know if something is wrong. It also has Steam Check, so a nice, relaxing shower shouldn’t cause your alarm to shout at you.
-
You’ll know, from anywhere.1
Nest Protect can alert your phone when something is wrong at home. You’ll receive a message if the alarm goes off, if the batteries start to run low or if a sensor isn’t working.
1 Mobile alerts require working Internet and Wi-Fi.

Saved my mother in laws life
Great product. Alerted us to a fire promptly, which would almost certainly have been fatal within a few minutes. Without the interlinked system we would not have known until it was too late. This system is worth every penny.
Good customer service too, we had one issue with one unit and were promptly sent a replacement.
Excellent product if a bit pricy
This is a very impressive product.
Easy to install, with a bit of confidence in electrical work, although I didn’t use the supplied electrical connectors as they just were not secure enough for me, hence the 4 stars in that regard. Set up is easy with Nest and the reporting is very interesting.
The night light function is also very useful, no need to put on main lights when I get up in the night to check on the restraints of the hostages. Peace of mind all round!
The best smoke alarm you can buy (for 10x the price of a smoke alarm)
Its exactly what you would expect for a 100 smoke alarm.
The peace of mind is nice when you are out as it alerts your phone if it detects anything, the green light is also nice when you turn the lights off to let you know its working (however this does get triggered by the TV on occasion), Another “feature” I love is that it doesn’t have an annoying flashing light on it at night.
If you want to put one of these in every room of your house you’re going to have to mortgage it first, but if you can afford to do that, they are pretty good smoke alarms.
A smart little safety device
Granted this is an expensive option in home safety devices but the additional features the nest protect provides made this a worthwhile purchase for me. Setting up the device via the app was straightforward and seamless. Ceiling installation then took 5 minutes, job done. The sensor activated night light is a great feature when moving around in the dark, just enough light to illuminate the immediate area. Another handy feature is that the nest performs it’s own self tests automatically so no more running about manually testing alarms (that is when I actually remember to do so).
The nest I purchased only has 9 years left until it reaches it’s expiry date (not the full 10yrs) but when taking into account that the price I paid was at least 25% cheaper than other retail outlets I’m still coming out ahead.
All in all a great product, if it was half the price I’d but twice as many.
Long, 9+ year expiry date from Amazo
I bought 4 of these from Amazon. Was a bit nervous on the expiry dates after reading some reviews, but they all came with more than 9 years until expiry, which is fine by me. I’d definitely recommend checking (and unfortunately you can’t check without opening the box), but it wasn’t a problem for me!
I had Google Nest Protect in my previous house, and wanted them again in the new place. They’re definitely worth the investment. Very easy to set up, and they all connect to each other without wiring (they just need WiFi). This means that if one of them detects a fire, they all sound, so you’re woken even if the fire is at the other end of the house. They also ‘talk’ to give meaningful information, (ie “there is smoke detected in the hallway”), rather than just beeping, which means it’s a lot easier to react to the alarm appropriately!
A safety upgrade that’s well worth it!
Expensive but worth i
Bought these as a replacement to my 1st Generation Nest Protects which had just expired.
Compared to the old ones, these are slightly smaller and more sleek. Unlike the previous revision their mounting allows for more error if you’re looking for that perfect square placement and all four sides are exactly the same.
The 10yr expiry compared to the 7yrs of the 1st gen is also a welcome improvement.
I had one small issue trying to set them on a new wifi after I changed my Internet provider but that was quickly overcome by taking them down and re-registering them: lesson learnt, take a photo of their rear stickers and keep safe before installing on the ceiling ti avoid having to take them down!
Yes they’re expensive but I feel the price is justified when I know everyone at home is safe. If you also have a Nest Thermostat, they can be set to automatically switch your boiler off if they detect CO2.
House Protection You Need
This is the second Nest Protect product I’ve installed in my own home.
I’m pleased to say the original life has doubled from 5 years to 10.
It’s a little fiddly to set up especially because the mounting/fixing positions are different in the new device to that previous.
Also I had some minor issues in linking the device to my home network and iPhone. It took 2 or 3 attempts.
This Nest Protect provides a warning for fire, heat, smoke and carbon monoxide. It also provides a pleasant warning voice and a movement sensitive light.
It’s a lot more expensive than a basic smoke and carbon monoxide warning device but the longevity and extra features makes it a worthwhile purchase IMO.
Great replacement for traditional alarms
Great replacement for traditional alarms ! Easy to install and setup apart from two minor issues – a) there is no room for wires at the back so the wires have to be pushed into ceilings. b) the cable clips are too easy to let the cables in and out so I still prefer screws.
The night light is a great value add on!
Great Product but Google Taking the P@@@
Bought to replace my out of date Gen 1 model which had been in operation for the past 7 years (original models had a 7 year life) with absolutely no issues. On receipt I checked manufacturing dates (on back of unit – it should be on the box!) and I’m pleased to report it was made in Jun 2021 so I should have 10 years(ish) use from this one. All good so far – now the p@@@ taking by Google! They have changed the back fitting plate – WHY!!!! It meant I had to remove the old plate, fill in the old holes, drill new ones, touch up paint the mounting area, wait for the paint to dry and fit the new back plate. But wait there’s more! They have also changed the connector/plug to the unit – again WHY!! I had to cut the old one off and fit the new one. What should have been a literal 5 minute job (setup aside) turned in to an hour of effing and jeffing! I’m from an engineering background and can no reason to change those two things other than to alienate customers.
Rant over – the Nest Protect is a great piece of kit, well made, easy to set up, highly functional and integrates well with my existing NEST products and other smart devices. However, I’m considering upgrading my NEST thermostat and if they’ve changed the mounting/wiring etc, they can take a flying you know what. I was angry when they ditched the ChromeCast Audio device so they could make more money selling their crappy mini’s so that will be the last straw – sorry still ranting…..
Abit tricky but works well
The Google connect works well and still going strong.
Issues: the device just wouldn’t register at first wifi wise with my account had to ring Google support and they were super helpful. If you have other nest products it helps having them near by ad the mesh system helps register the product with all your settings.
The Good: once set up the system is super easy and does regular working checks to ensure its operational. It also detects motion etc. I’ve not been able to find the night light useful as I don’t think it’s strong enough but I didn’t buy it for that reason. I can see all the status from my phone and I’ve had it for like over a month and all is still well.
A great product with some small annoyances.
I “invested” in the first generation of Nest protect products which are now starting to reach their end of life dates. This is annoying because I am now faced with a bill for 000’s to replace them all but when it comes to safety, you just have to see the bigger picture and suck up the cost, taken over the lifetime of the product it is not so bad. Annoying then that the second generation products that I have bought so far were already 6 months into their 10 year life span but I think that is probably fairly normal.
If you are replacing a Gen 1, you will need to change both the wiring (different plug for the mains version) and the mounting plate, quite why Nest could not have kept the plug the same I do not know, possibly because the old one is a pain to release but it is not something that you should be doing very often. As always though, all of the fixings that you need to complete the job are included.
Once you have done all of this though, set-up via the app is very straightforward and I had the replacement up and running in a few minutes. If you are replacing/upgrading, probably best to delete the old product from the app first to avoid any naming issues.
I still think that these are the best on the market and I have always found that the customer service from Google Nest to be excellent.
Great Alarms, but two years missing from operating life
These alarms are great – they look good, install really easily, they’re loud and the spoken commands and warnings are much better than traditional alarms. Obviously knowing there may be a problem while you’re away from home is also really useful, especially if you have a pet at home.
The only drawback from buying them through Amazon is that they’re already two-years old. The alarms will only work for 10 years and mine all arrived with 8 years remaining. I guess they’ve been sat on a shelf somewhere.
My current one had come to end of life very happy with it I replaced it with current model
This was a replacement to current one which had come to end of life. Have been very happy with i
Excellent ended up buying two.
Nothing to dislike. Date was jan 2031 on both and ordered at different times. The best smoke alarm you can buy
Might not get anything close to the 10 years of lifetime on the box
Got these, but found that 2.5 of the 10 years life had already expired before bought them so they expire in sept 2029 rather than sometime 2030/2031.
Was easy to set up although surprisingly nest app didn’t have a replace option you have to delete old and add as new.
Best thing is the warning feature, so you can stop it going off!
It took time to get it to link to our WiFi, and we had to add it to the app twice because it ‘lost’ it, so it wasn’t easy to install, but now it’s in, it’s very good. We wanted a smoke alarm that wouldn’t go off every time we made toast or ran a bath and the smart features on this alarm have achieved that. The alarm hasn’t sounded yet because when it gives us a warning, we are able to stop it.
Recommend wired alarm
Wired alarm lasts up to 10 years. Product itself is great with a multipurpose smoke alarm and CO alarm.
When testing its features, the Nest app tells you details of when the alarm is active, when it’s been silenced and when the levels of smoke etc decreases and if issues persists will phone an emergency number that you choose.
Only issue is that the alarms cannot be displayed on the hub unless you previously had a Nest account as you’re unable to log into nest through the Google Home app.
Great device but check the expiry date before installing
There are many reviews saying that devices have been received with much less than the expected 10 year lifespan remaining. I checked with Amazon CS first and was assured that I would receive freshly made products. I went ahead and ordered 3. They arrived today and to my relief, all three had been manufactured in the last few months. Perfect!
They are easy to install and set up in the NEST app. They connect to each other and the WiFi easily and if one is triggered all devices alarm and report which device triggered the alarm.
They are far and away the best Smoke and Carbon Monoxide sensors available right now.
Very happy with the NEST ecosystem including the thermostats etc. They are a little on the pricy side but you do get quality for your money.
Smoke detector with Google voice and that's about it!
Great product from Nest. If you have a preexisting wired installtion note the NC link is missing from the terminal block. The WiFi setup is a bit annoying, since the MAC address wasn’t on the box or on the label on the device. Still no support on the Google home app which is hard to believe! No other sensors in device such as temp humidity to feedback into the thermostat, or any air quality metrics which was very disappointing. Expensive for what it is; a wifi enabled smoke detector but if you have bought into the Google ecosystem then this product is great addition although missing a few critical features that would have truly made it smart.
Bulky wiring makes it hard to fit - Wished I had purchased battery versio
Purchased 3 of these to replace the ancient hard wired alarms in my new house.
I am not a DIY guru but found the instructions quite easy. The issue though is the unit is quite slim and the terminals add a lot of bulk to the wiring for me it will not fit. I am going to have to cut a larger hole in the ceiling to make it fit.
Also given the shelf life I am starting think the battery model would have been good enough and much easier!
Well worth the money
Installed these to replace standard smoke only type alarm. Installation straightforward using kit supplied. Setup using Nest app seamless.
So far has surpassed my expectations. Did a ‘live’ test using a match and the response was superb. Great that you get the alert on your phone also, fires can and do start when you are not home; can always get a neighbour to check if you receive an alert.
Really like the ‘light my path’ function. Have been able to do away with my plugin socket night lights.
Well worth the extra money in my view versus a more basic detector.
Good quality and looks good
Good quality product doesn’t look cheap when installed, additional benefit is the low glow light when you walk past it at night so you don’t have to guess your way to the lav
Great functionality and a sleek alarm
Really easy to install – 20 mins from unboxing to fully installed.
Clear instructions for set up and installation. I’m no electrician, but the step by step guide had me installing three of these around the house.
Great functionality and looks smart too.
Cool feature of a white light that comes on when you walk by the alarm in darkness.
Fantastic safety CO2 and smoke smart alarm
This was to replace a gen 1 Protect which has worked perfectly for 7 years and needed replacing due to sensor life the gen 2 have a 10 year sensor life. Easy to exchange and remove the old from the app and add the new one. I have 4 Nest Protect sensors and they all interact, all battery models highly recommended.

Great.
I ordered a battery powered version from Amazon. It arrived in correct box but was a wired version in the box with no wires. Had to return for a refund. 1 star for that. I already have 2 of these in my flat, 1 wired and one battery powered. They are both interconnected which is great. The nest app is great for status updates, testing and cancelling false alarms. If there is a problem in your home you’ll get an alert to your phone. They stay interconnected even if your WiFi is down, you just won’t get alerts to your phone. Recommended.
Not easy to fit on ceiling
It was a replacement for one which has carbon oxide alert on it so needs renewing every few years. It was on the ceiling and the fitting plate was a different shape to the original one which meant that new holes had to be drilled for the screws and rawl plugs inserted. This was not necessary. The shape of the Next protect was the same so why couldn’t the plate be the same. I had to either climb up to reach it and drill the holes etc or, as I am 85 I decided that this was not a good idea so had to get someone else to fix it. I now have 4 holes in the ceiling which need filling. Poor design. Not thought ou
Premium Produc
This is a premium product from the moment you open the box. Even the supplied self tapping plasterboard screws are the best you will have ever seen. Very easy to install if you already have mains smoke alarms, and they look great once installed.
Easy to install and setup
These are a great device. They’re so good we bought two! Installation was simple. Just two wires to connect and a simple bracket to screw up to hold it. They work well too! They test themselves automatically and can be set and controlled via an app on your phone. As an added bonus they detect motion and glow as you pass, meaning they act as a great temporary night light if you wake up in the dark and need to head downstairs for a glass of water or similar. We have two and they connect together and talk to each other via the app and wireless network. I’m actually tempted to get the Nest doorbell too! These are a great product. I admit though, yes they are a bit pricey.
Better than expected.
Easy to install and set up. Feel reassured by status and history log. Halo light very clever and especially useful for unit installed on upstairs landing. Would definitely recommend.
Smartest Smoke Alarm
My batteries died in my old alarm. I already have a lot of nest and Google products so it was a no brainer for me. Functionality is good and I like that it silently tests it self. The night light is genuinely awesome, you can change the brightness and it’s really good for going to the loo in the night.
3rd one I ow
I have an office at the end of the garden wanted to get a fire alarm that would sound in the rest of the house or notify me, if there was a fire. Nest does this nicely.
The others I have in the house are great, do like the night light that comes on if you move about.
Quite sensitive to lots of dust from building work. Sanding dust can trigger the alarm, you do get a warning saying there is smoke in the house.
Perfect always wanted these
Very easy to setup and install. Everything you need is included – all you need to do is download the app, create an account and link the smoke detectors to the account you have just created. They talk to each other if smoke is detected. The pathway lightening brightness can be changed on the app for each unit. It’s a big shame it’s not Alexa compatible. The sound/voice on the units are nice/clear and loud.
The units are possibly old stock as you don’t get the full 10 years lifetime on the product. Mine was short by 14+ months
