Nest improves upon basic home detector

Written By Unknown on Senin, 23 Desember 2013 | 18.38

Nest Protect (various retailers, $129)

From the same folks who brought us the sleek, smart digital thermostat known simply as Nest, this smoke and carbon monoxide detector has a similarly beautiful form factor as well as mobile device integration. Control it with an app on your smartphone or tablet.

The good: Is there anything more annoying than having your ears assaulted by a blaring alarm while cooking on the stove? Enter the Nest Protect's "heads up" feature. Instead of blaring alarms, the Nest Protect's Siri-like voice will come on to let you know when an alarm is about to come on. That's just one of several ways this device reinvents a mundane domestic necessity that was previously just a glorified beeper.

The bad: Due to federal laws on carbon monoxide detectors, you have to replace this device every seven years. So if you have a huge home that necessitates several of these devices, you're looking at a pretty serious financial investment.

The bottom line: The Nest Protect is an excellent take on the old standby. But be sure to check with your local fire officials and building manager before buying to make sure the Nest Protect complies with local building codes.
