Nest Protect Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm.

Nest Protect is somewhat of a technological revolution, taking both the smoke alarm and the carbon monoxide alarm into the 21st century. This nifty little device looks similar to your standard smoke alarm but it does so much more. It has been created by the same man who designed the iPod so, in my opinion, that gives it instant credibility as I love my iPod!

The Nest Protect won’t suddenly alarm when you burn the toast but will give you a ‘not so alarming’ heads up prior to an alarm and it will tell you exactly what the danger is. I love this as I tend to set off our smoke alarm quite a few times, usually at mealtimes! I then take a few minutes to find out exactly why it has gone off. It is usually the toaster oven, but on occasion it has been the open fire or the microwave.

The Nest Protect will connect with your mobile phone and will even let you know via text when the batteries are running low! That will save you listening to that very annoying ‘beeping’ smoke alarms make when the batteries run low.

Another huge plus is the night light or ‘Pathlight’. I think this is absolutely brilliant – This Pathlight glows white at night as you walk under it, so no more fumbling around at night in my house!

Despite this futuristic technology, the Nest Protect is super easily installed, even I could do this. I can think of no reason you would not need this device. In my opinion, it is one of the most necessary devices that will make a difference in anyone’s home.
