Nest announced a New Nest Protect smoke detector
The Nest Protect 2.0 is the company’s second-generation smoke-and-carbon-monoxide detector. It looks similar to the first generation but the company says it was built from the inside out after the product recall had on its first Nest Protect.
The new Nest Protect has a new sensor in the fire detector that can gauge how fast a fire is building and help prevent false alarms. It’s also able to discern against smoke and steam, which means ones near the bathroom or kitchen won’t go off with steam or temperature changes.
