hi I'm Lindsay Turrentine and this is a first look at the nest protect this is a smoke and carbon monoxide detector it's also probably the most beautiful smoke and carbon monoxide detector and the most expensive you'll ever see cost a hundred and twenty nine dollars there are plenty of competitors that cost around fifty dollars but don't have the Wi-Fi capability so it works with other nest smoke detectors in your house it can actually talk to those smoke detectors and tell them when an event is happening so that you can be alerted no matter where you are in the house it also works with an app so that you can check your phone or get an alert if something's going on in your house that might be dangerous it also allows you to wave to silence an alarm so you don't have to get a broomstick and stand on a chair I've been using two of these devices in my own house for a couple of days and I can tell you that in my casual test they work well when I've tested with a special smoke device that's meant for testing smoke detectors the alarm sounds very loud it also sounds in other rooms and tells you where the smoke is happening these smoke detectors work with the nest thermostat and if you've heard of that it's a thermostat that is a Wi-Fi thermostat you can operate that thermostat with the same app that operates this a smoke detector there are two versions of the nest protect one that you can hardwire into your houses electrical system and another that works off of six lithium-ion double-a batteries thanks for watching I'm Lindsay Turrentine this has been a first look at the nest protect smoke detector
