I tried using "Nest Protect" which senses a fire and teaches fire origin and situations in cooperation with smartphones and tablets

If there are multiple fire alarms installed in the house, even if the alarm goes off, you may not know where the fire originates, but in addition to notifying the fire base with the alarm sounds, the alarm sounds "smoke "" The level of carbon monoxide is rising, "and smart fire alarms that sent notifications to smartphones and tablets to allow fire to be detected even from remote places were"Nest Protect"is. It looks pretty smart and does not spoil the appearance of the room, so I installed it in the room and tried what kind of feeling the alarm sounded.

In the box there were four backplates and screws, Nest Protect main body, two instructions.

It looks like this is installed in the room.


So, sucking cigarettes under Nest Protect activates a Heads-Up alarm saying "It is not an emergency, but it tells me when smoke is sensed or the oxygen level is rising and it is rising" I tried.

If the sound only sounds, I can not check where smoke is getting up, but in the case of Nest Protect, it tells me that the lady's voice "smoke is rising in the living room", so it can be confirmed that the fire source is on is.


When the air in the room becomes clean, the announcement flows and the light flashes green.

When the alarm sounded, a notification was sent to the application as well. After checking the message, you can see that the Heads-Up alarm sounded at 20:36, it was immediately canceled and the air in the room became clean.


This function of "waving hands and turning off alarms" is called "Nest Wave", but "Nest Wave" can be used only for Heads-Up alarm. Warning alarms when a serious fire sign is sensed can not be erased with Nest Wave. Warning You can check how the alarm sounds from the following movie.

When the warning alarm sounds, the ring of the application that was green turns red. Since the message has arrived, tap the menu.


The message list at the time of receiving the first notification is like this. Since the smoke in the room has not disappeared yet, a notification is coming with a red icon to inform you of the emergency situation. The situation is not an increase in the level of carbon monoxide but "sensing smoke."


If you receive notifications several times, the message list will look something like this. Any warning alarm changes to a green round icon when the air in the room gets cleaner.


The Heads-Up alarm was canceled instantly and the air in the room was also clean, but in the case of a warning alarm it took nine minutes for the air in the room to be clean.


Then, when you turn off the light of the room, it automatically switches to the mode called "Nightly Promise" and when you pass under the Nest Protect at night, you can see how the white lights are lit from the following.
