but the protect is about as cool as a co/smoke detector can get
what is better about this than my $49 Kidde? Here are the features it has:

- syncs up wirelessly with other Kidde detectors so they all go off
- wink integration sends me notification when either CO2 or smoke detector goes off or battery is getting low
- voice alert: alarm tells you whether it's detecting smoke or CO2
- Kidde is the king of smoke detectors and I feel better about trusting my family's safety to their hardware than nest since they've been doing this longer than anyone
- home depot has sales on these where you can get 3/$100 making them 1/3 the price of a nest
- battery life is roughly 1 year

What is better about nest?

Nest has a motion detector at night when it's dark it gently lights up the area when you walk by it.

(that's all I got) .

It was free, has a cool pathway light that illuminates with motion, and it pisses you off that I think it's cool.


There are a few addition features if it's in a Nest Eco system (which I don't have). Like shutting off the a/c and letting you know which room the smoke \ co is located and the level. It knows the difference between burnt popcorn and a house fire.
