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.

DIY home security systems have no installation fees and cost much less than traditional systems, as you set the system up yourself. Since you have the
freedom to install it whenever you want, there’s no need to schedule an appointment and wait for a technician. With DIY systems, you have control over the
entire configuration and are able to place sensors, cameras, and other equipment in areas you believe best protect your home. DIY wireless alarm systems don’t require securing cords or mounting control panels. They’re also easily movable, which is a big advantage if you move to a new residence. If you’re a renter and are interested in a home security system, it’s best to first check with your landlord and review your rental agreement.
