previously nest has limited its product offerings to standalone devices you get a single thermostat you get a single smoke detector something is that is a standalone DIY product but they did something totally new today with the new nest secure alarm systems this is actually a whole home security system that can work with the standalone nest devices you already have the main device is the nest guard it kind of looks like an Amazon echo dot but is this little tiny device that has a built-in 85 decibel siren it's where you arm and disarm your system instead of those old kind of utilitarian panels you had on your wall so one of the coolest features about this new nest security system is called quiet open so if you want to go in a morning run and you don't want to disarm the entire system but you do want to just walk out the door without dealing with the whole arming disarming thing you can enable an option on this guard panel they would actually just let you walk through a door that has the nest detect door window open close sensor on it without triggering the whole system but it'll still protect the whole house so the first system will be 499 dollars it's available for pre-order now and will be available in November with one guard two tags and two detects
