Okay, hive mind…I need a little help! We need to replace our hardwired Nest Protects (smart smoke & CO detectors) in September because Google, in their infinite wisdom 🙄, decided to discontinue this truly top notch product just months before ours turn 10 and stop working. Aaargh!

Does anyone have a hardwired smoke/CO detector — smart or otherwise — that they would recommend?

De thermostaat moet worden vervangen
Europa is veel te lastig voor Google Nest
Dus dat apparaatje gaat bij de rest
Hardware van Google wil je niet verlangen

Woke up this morning to our #NestProtect going bonkers about low battery. Not the occasional "<beep> I'm low on juice", but going ballistic about it at 6 in the morning and preventing us from sleeping.

Took the #InternetOfShit device down and removed the batteries to stop it from beeping. Some batteries were warm. Very warm.

As it happens, it is a well known (and not fixed) problem:

Two false alarms from the #NestProtect alarms this morning, first one before 8am (so before 7 really, with the clock change!). Support docs say to take them down and clean them so I’ll give that a go.

One issue this has highlighted is how long they take to tell you where the problem is.

*three loud beeps*
“Emergency!”
*three loud beeps*
“There’s smoke!”
*three loud beeps*
“In the bedroom!”

Even in my groggy just-woke-up panic, I was almost in the kitchen checking to see if the cats had turned the hob on and melted the kettle before it said the last bit. It should START with the location, and “there’s smoke in the bedroom” as one phrase would be better than two separate ones.

But good to know they wake me up in case of emergency, I guess!
