LMFAO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpsMkLaEiOY Cannot (by law, apparently) be turned off when it detects "emergency" levels of smoke. If you are a rich idiot and have more than one Nest Protect, you can silence all but the one that first detected the emergency. Guess how often it they falsely detect emergency smoke levels?  Silencing a false alarm for "emergency" smoke levels requires removing the battery, which (at least for the model that can be wired to main power) requires disassembling the unit with a screwdriver. Or a hammer, depending on how long you tried to silence it before thinking to pull the battery. Doc Block fucked around with this message at 01:19 on Feb 23, 2015 |

LOL other smoke alarms don't have the stupid inability to turn them off. "No, see, it won't shut off because, ummm, the government! Yeah, The Government won't let us let you silence false alarms..." *Is Nest, a Google company*

TerminalRaptor posted:I realized it was a POS when their $100 smoke alarm "helpfully" expires after 7 years. well if you're going to get a system of nest smoke detectors, you can probably afford to get new ones 7 years later, and they'll probably be a lot different by then and better (or nonexistent lol) then again, regular smoke detectors work just fine. did you know they work by having a radiation detector constantly detect radiation emitted from a tiny bit of americium? if the radiation is blocked due to smoke, it no longer detects it and the alarm goes off

why don't they just detect if you have an android in your home and set off the alarm then?

I went all out on our home and upgraded everything to the Nest line of products; 10 smoke detectors and 2 thermostats. I'm one of those early-adopter types striving to create a fully "connected home". The past year has been a massive disappointment; I had high hopes for these products but they are just too unreliable to install in your home. I am uninstalling every piece of Nest gear and sending back to the company. Shortly after installing the Nest Protect units, we started getting "false positives". We started getting these about once every two weeks, driving my family absolutely up the walls. Time after time, the Protect system would wake up our family in the middle of the night, and we'd have to run around the house to find the right unit, climb up on a ladder and "hush" the system. After 5-6 of these annoying events, we contacted the Nest company to complain. They have replaced about six of the units, some more than once. The false alarms continued. When a friend was watching the house, she couldn't get the alarm to stop, so she had to yank the units down and put them in the garage just to get some rest. More units were replaced, but it the false positives continued. Nest claims some units are overly sensitive, which leads to false positives. In our experience, over half the units we've had (from a variety of sources; Amazon, directly from Nest, and Home Depot) triggered a false positive. The terminal event occurred last night. My wife and I were at a close friend's wedding, and our babysitter called to let us know the alarms were going off. This time, she couldn't get the unit to "hush". The alarms went off for over an hour late at night, and the babysitter had to take the kids out of the house and sit in her car for an hour just to get a break--- Nest literally ran my kids out of their own home. We apologized to the wedding party, jumped in the car, and sped home. Nest ruined a night we'll never get back; when an overpriced, defective technology has that kind of control over your life, something is wrong. Nest products are unsafe due to the high number of false positives. We have had approximately 15 false positives in the last six months from almost every device in our home. I urge everyone to consider Protect as a "neat gadget", but please don't put your family's safety in their hands. Nest's marketing department wants you to believe the "old school" smoke detectors were unsafe because people took the batteries out. I find that comical, since my Nest Protects have spent a good portion of their life outside or in the garage in an attempt to silence the alarms and get some sleep. On a related note, their thermostats are great, until they lock up randomly and turn your heat or A/C off. This happens from time to time--- perhaps once every six months. Not a big deal? It was 21 degrees outside last night and our main Nest unit "froze" about 10pm. Terribly unsafe. Nest claims this happens "during upgrades" that the push out on their own schedule. I guess their strategy is to hope that nobody relies on the thermostat to work consistently? What would have happened if I didn't notice the thermostat was off? Burst, frozen pipes, most likely. The whole Nest concept is great; replace antiquated smoke detectors and thermostats with "smart" new technology. However, they failed to realize that a consumer's thermostat and smoke detectors MUST WORK RELIABLY, 100% of the time. Nest's products are 99% reliable, but that 1% failure rate is unacceptable for products that are relied upon to protect your home, family, and property. Buyer beware--- these products are not ready for prime time, and frankly put your family in more danger than traditional, "old fashioned" technology.

You can hit the silence button but the wireless network will just transport the alert message around forever, so until every nest alarm has been unpowered you are hosed
