NEST PROTECT
Nest Protect Smoke + CO Alarm makes the most of every single second in an emergency situation.
In an emergency, every second counts. So Nest Protect makes the most of every single one. It gives you information, not just alarms. It tells you what the problem is and where it is. And in case you’re away from home, it sends a message to your phone. Because a beep simply isn’t enough, a clear voice warns you when things go wrong. It tells you if there’s smoke or carbon monoxide, which room it’s in, and if you’re in immediate danger. So you can quickly figure out the best way to exit your home and avoid running into fire on the way out. Emergencies are unpredictable. So, unlike other smoke alarms, Nest Protect makes sure you know what’s going on - even when you’re away from home. You can check on things at any time anywhere. ‘What to do’ feature inside the Nest app helps you create a plan before you ever need it, and in an emergency, the Nest app will give you helpful tips depending on the problem.
