It uses a "split-spectrum" sensor that uses a traditional infrared photo-electric sensor and a blue LED sensor, which one might refer to as a "hybrid" that provides the smoke sensing features of both photo-electric and ionization coupled with CO detection. The Nest Protect is also Wi-Fi capable, although there are still router compatibility issues. | |
| S Oct 15, 2018 at 22:35 | comment | added | Wellcraft | "Most hard wired smoke detectors made within the past 5 years also detect Carbon Monoxide" - That is an INCORRECT statement. There are ionization type smoke detector/alarms, photoelectric type detector/alarms, and combination type detector/alarms that combine either ionization or photoelectric smoke sensing technology along with CO (Carbon Monoxide) detecting technology. And there are combination smoke detector/alarms that combine ionization and photoelectric smoke sensing technologies. Currently the only known detector that combines all three aspects is the Nest Protect and is rumoured to be | |
