Nest Smoke Detectors Battery VS. Wired 

Thanks, Tuma Time for simplifying the installation. I had short notice to install 5 smoke & 2 co2 alarms ... this video helps exactly

I have a disabled parent, these nest smoke alarms have given me great peace of mind, the phone app has been invaluable to me. Cheers for the video;)

Your plan is ingenious. Absolutely incredible. If I still was living in a single family home I would copy your endeavors. I am sure that you indicated to the app that the upstairs one was in the attic. That was your lower level one will announce (God forbid) a fire in the attic. Happens more than people realize. Beautiful use of Nest. Thanks again for the Idea.

Thank you for sharing this. Your video answered the questions I had about wireless/battery Nest smoke detectors.

Thank you. Great video and explanation. Very helpful. Just bought the battery powered Nest 2nd Generation for my new home.

Thank you! We have an old fashioned screaming alarm and I can't take the noise anymore; I get panic attacks. At least this gives me a chance to have a working alarm and shut off a false alarm quickly. Very clear video.

Thank you this was helpful! Going with the battery one! Saving money and stress looks like.

Great video. Right to the important information. Thanks!

It was helpful to see the set up. Thank you.

works beautifully

Thanks it helped a lot and I went with the battery model

Well done, thank you so much!

Thanks very helpful!

Tuma thanks for the awesome video

Great video! Thanks for making it less intimidating!

That's awesome. I didn't know the battery versions last so long. I was thinking of wiring mine too but 5 years isn't bad at all for the battery life.

I'm sorry I couldn't stop laughing once the alarm started going off....

I suspect yout attic will need to be partially filled with smoke before nest detects anything. Might be best of moving it as high as you can.

You may want to disable path lighting for the one in the attic to save battery since you won't be needing it. Nice "save" on cancelling the test! I was thinking at first why install in the attic as you won't hear it, but they will be connected to each other and announce together the location of the smoke/fire or CO.

Very helpful, thks

Thanks for sharing great video. Just a question, will it tell you via smart phone when battery is running out of juice.

Question costco has them for two for 199.00 is this a great price or you can get them cheaper. How to tell which version getting

Great video. Couldn't help but notice the radiant barrier. Was that a DIY project and does it make a difference in the attic?

I want to change the batteries in my Gen 2 Nest Protect (hard wired) and can't seem to remove it from the plate which is mounted to the ceiling. I've tried everything (turned it both directions, given it a hard tug from different positions…watched every video on installing them…) Am I just not using enough force?

Thank you. My old detector had odd holes and I can't flush securely all 4 screws, so if you go right up to mine, it looks a little janky. I feel like it'll stay up there however wish I could have a clean install instead of what I have, and removing old plate reveals unpainted drywall. Sigh.... May have to hire pro to make it look cleaner.

Great video!! Do you prefer the wired one or the battery one?

Does the battery version also have the night light feature?

How did the interconnection of the devices work?

Thanks for the review, my concern is how good the app. im thinking of buying one.

Thank you for show me how to use it

What is the life of your battery powered one now? after having it a few months

I live in a 650 sq ft. single bedroom apartment. Do you think buying one is enough to cover the entire apartment?

Great video. Does the nest monitor temperature or function as an intercom

And update on this? To see how they are lasting over 5 years?

*Tries to hush it while in test mode* 😂😂

Nice video young man. Now this old man is going to bed

GO TO BED OLD MAN. Lol, just kidding, nice video.

My batteries have to be changed out about every 9 months

No mine is less that a year old and the batteries are chirping already

Everyone has an installation video. Is anyone smart enough to make one for installation with the app? Nope, no one has that video…. Unbelievable lol 😂

I’m about to be fired
