No one has rigorously tested the CO detector performance of the second generation model. Consumer Reports says that the first generation Nest Protect worked well as a CO detector, though it was more effective in sounding an alarm when it spots high CO concentrations than low. User reviews, once mixed, are now much stronger as the product has been updated and tweaked since release. It currently earns a 4. 6 star rating following nearly 6,000 reviews at Amazon. While there are other smart smoke detectors available, none that we spotted have received the positive feedback that we saw for the Nest Protect. For example, the First Alert OneLink Est. $110 looks to directly compete with the Nest, but both expert and user reviews are underwhelming. Among other issues, both CNET and Wirecutter note shortcomings in the connected features, including slow response times pushing notifications to the iOS only app and for the app to silence a nuisance alarm. Reviewers hold hope that software improvements will eventually make the OneLink a contender, but for now, as Wirecutter notes, "many of the Onelink's features are just pale imitations of the Protect's offerings. "We also saw a little expert buzz around the Halo Smart Smoke and CO Alarm Est.

When smoke is not present, the beam from a light source inside the device travels in a straight line to a detector, but when smoke particles enter, some of the light is scattered and triggers the electrical circuit that sounds the alarm. Air Sampling Detectors These have sensors that are capable of detecting microscopic smoke particles in the air. They actually draw air into the detector and passes it into minute pipes that lead to a laser optical device that has the capability to detect minute particles of combustion. When the laser detects the unusual content, it triggers the alarm. Combination Type Detectors It use both ionization and optical sensors, as mandated by some states. Ionization detectors tend to react slower, and may not warn people inside the house or commercial buildings adequately enough to be able to make it to the exit.
