The New 2nd Generation Nest Protect NZ Smoke Alarm and Carbon Monoxide Alarm, is one of the latest, and most cutting edge home automation products that has been released.   This is a basic Nest Protect NZ Review, along with some additional video reviews. You can Order the Nest Protect NZ directly from Amazon and get it shipped to NZ.

This is a basic Nest Protect NZ Review, on the second generation version of Nest Protect NZ. The second generation Nest Protect NZ is also regularly referred to as the Nest Protect 2.0 NZ or the Nest Protect 2nd Gen NZ.

In New Zealand our homes are filled with small white plastic smoke alarms (either photoelectric, or ionisation types) that have basically remained unchanged for decades. Most also use the same old technology, which under certain conditions are not that effective or responsive to some types of fire.   The Nest Protect NZ has a huge range of features that your average conventional smoke alarm doesn’t have. The great thing about the Nest Protect NZ Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm, is not only is it a smoke alarm, but it also checks carbon monoxide levels in the room, and is Wifi enabled. When connected to you Wi-Fi network, it will send your phone an alert when either the alarm goes off, or if the batteries are running low.

The Nest Protect NZ Smoke alarm also has a Split-Spectrum Sensor, which looks for both fast and slow-burning fires.When it goes off, it will tell you if there is smoke or CO, and which alarm it is. The Nest Protect NZ will give you a heads up, so you get a friendly voice alert , so you can handle burning toast. If you don’t take care of the toast and it continues to detect smoke, then the full alarm will sound.  As it connects to your WiFi

Inside the The Nest Protect NZ, there is a 10-year carbon monoxide sensor, which  will detect carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is odorless and deadly, and it is something a conventional photoelectric smoke alarm will not check for. We would recommend using the Nest Smoke Alarm NZ in conjunction with regular smoke alarms.

If you have never heard of the Nest brand, it is actually owned by the Google group of companies, the same companies that makes the Chromecast. Oh yes, they also own the biggest search engine in the world, and they are one of the biggest companies in the world, and are well known for their innovative technology!

Unlike a conventional smoke alarm, where you have to get up to the smoke alarm, to press a hush button, you can simply hush the Nest Protect Smoke Alarm using the app on your phone.  SO no need to get up on a chair and risk injuring yourself.

As this product is designed for the American market, not all features maybe available to NZers. It also may not meet NZ standards in terms of the NZ requirements for a smoke alarm, so you will still need to use conventional smoke alarms in your house. However this provides additional benefits that you don’t get with a normal smoke alarm.  To purchase you also may need to use NZ Posts ‘YouShop’ shipping service to get it shipped to NZ, as at the time of writing this, Amazon may not ship this to NZ. If you are buying from New Zealand, you should make sure that you buy the battery version, and not the mains power version, as the mains version appears to be 120 volt, and NZ power is 240 volt, so it won’t be certified to work with NZ power. The Nest Protect NZ battery version takes Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA batteries. Please read the specifications on the Amazon website to make sure this suit your requirements.
