To confirm you are buying the newest version, look for a UL217v8 label on the box, or consult the product description for the phrase “Helps reduce cooking nuisance alarms.”Īlthough we strongly recommend the Nest Protect for most people, if you’re looking for a HomeKit-compatible alarm, or want to avoid the Google Nest ecosystem altogether, First Alert’s Onelink brand is currently your best option. Note that Nest is releasing an updated version of this model that will be compliant with newer UL standards (specifically UL217v8). The Protect is also the simplest smart alarm to install and control. You can silence nuisance alarms through the Protect’s app, so you’ll be less likely to disable it in a fit of annoyance (as many people do when an alarm starts chirping). If you have more than one Protect, they interconnect wirelessly, and the Protect also self-tests and informs you of device malfunctions or low batteries via smartphone alerts-without those annoying chirps. It even sets off a voice warning before the alarm sounds, so you have time to mute it in case you’re sure it’s just a false alarm (I’m looking at you, seared tuna). ![]() The second-generation Google Nest Protect smoke and carbon monoxide alarm is the best smart smoke alarm for everyone because it reliably and calmly alerts you to potential danger-whether you’re home or away-using a combination of voice, siren, and smartphone alerts. ![]()
