    My nest pucks tests themselves every month. Its quite nice. They beep and check if the others can hear it.

      Surprised they still work. Nest smoke alarms are a dead product. Find something better now to replace them with.

      They were amazing tech created by a Boulder start-up to reinvent home safety, but Google murdered them.

      Already EOL and discontinued.

        They work, and beautifully at that. Supported by both the nest app and googles own home app.

        Why replace them. Not like the sensors in there will stop working any time soon. They have a 10 year shelf life

          It’s from Google. They already remotely killed all the 1st and 2nd generation nest thermostats. The sensor there would still work for decades, but you can’t set the temperature anymore because they decided that the line must go up
