I absolutely love my Nest thermostats, and I think they were worth every penny. I'd buy them again in a heart beat. So I have faith that this will also be a great product. But the problem is that my house needs two thermostats, but 12 smoke alarms. If I only needed 2 or 3 of these, I might be tempted. But I can't see spending over $1500 on replacing my smoke alarms. I suppose maybe they don't all need to be replaced, but if it doesn't interoperate with my other hard-wired smoke alarms, it could actually be a net decrease in safety (if the non-Nest alarms start going off and the Nests don't).
- dkasper 13y agoSounds like a great idea for an add-on product would be cheap additional detectors for your other rooms
- zippergz 13y agoYes. Ever since I got the thermostats, I've wanted add-on sensors for other rooms. The placement of the thermostats in my house is not great for setting the temperature in the rooms I actually care about, so it would be great to have additional small sensors in the primary living areas. It seems like they could make it an all-in-one device -- a Nest extension that works with both the thermostats and the smoke alarms.
- zenocon 13y agoSame situation. I have two Nest thermostats and I love them, but there's no way I'm going to drop close to a thousand dollars on replacing all my current (functional) smoke alarms. The price point is just wrong -- I hope they adjust it down the road apiece. I'd rather spend them money replacing lightbulbs with LED.
