Meet Nest Protect, a Smart Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm
Nest Protect is a smart smoke and carbon monoxide alarm designed to help homeowners monitor two of the most important safety risks in the home. It can detect both fast-burning and slow-smouldering fires, provide voice alerts that identify the problem and location, and send notifications to your phone when you’re away.
Why Choose Nest Protect Over a Traditional Smoke Alarm?
Most smoke alarms are designed to sound an alarm when smoke is detected. Nest Protect goes a step further by combining smoke and carbon monoxide detection with voice alerts, mobile notifications, and automatic self-testing.
Instead of simply sounding an alarm, Nest Protect can tell you what the issue is and where it’s happening. If you’re away from home, it can also send alerts to your phone so you can stay informed about potential safety concerns.
For homeowners looking to add smart technology to their home, Nest Protect offers a way to bring connectivity and added awareness to an essential safety device.
