![]() ![]() This model includes the ability to receive real-time alerts, silence false alarms, and check the status of the replaceable lithium battery. It represents an affordable way to connect your smoke detector to the internet and control it remotely through a mobile app. Power Source: Hardwired or battery | Compatibility: Wi-Fi, Google Home | Sensors: Split-spectrum | Extras: Carbon monoxide monitoring, battery self-check, voice prompts, motion-sensor lightĪny smoke detector with smart features will understandably cost more than a standard alarm, but with the XS03-WX Wi-Fi Smoke Detector from X-Sense, the price hike is much less dramatic. The ring's glow can be activated via a motion sensor in the dark, serving as a night light that became a surprisingly valuable bonus feature in our reviewer's home. The device also self-checks all its sensors and battery levels 400 times a day, with speaker tests once a month.īesides notifications on the app, the Nest Protect itself issues voice prompts that describe what's happening (and where), with the ring of light around the center button changing colors. Our tester reported that this alarm "is smart enough to distinguish real smoke from shower steam or minor cooking smoke." When compared with two other models he tested, the Nest Protect was the only device that didn't sound as a result of cooking-despite being "mounted right next to one of the offending alarms." The built-in carbon monoxide (CO) detector is similarly accurate and lasts 10 years. The Nest Protect even features advanced technology in terms of smoke detection, combining the strengths of photoelectric and ionization sensors into a split-spectrum sensor that better detects both smoldering and flaming fires, in addition to greatly reducing false alarms. The devices quickly connected to the Wi-Fi network and the Nest app, where heads-up smoke alerts come through and can be dismissed before the full, very loud alarm goes off. As a testament to the easy setup process, our reviewer was able to install two battery-powered Nest Protect units (hardwired installation is an option as well) in the span of 20 minutes. Despite the high price tag, our tester gave it a full 5 out of 5 stars for its combination of quality and user-friendliness. The Google Nest Protect is a pioneering smart smoke detector that, in its second iteration, remains at the top of the market.
