Additionally, the Nest Protect is compatible with other smart home networks including Nexia, Vera, Wink and Google Home; it doesn't work with Amazon Alexa or Apple HomeKit. Unfortunately, the two year warranty is shorter than those from First Alert and Kidde.

It’s very easy to install because it runs on changeable batteries so you don’t have to hardwire it into your home’s electrical grid. If the Kidde KN COSM B RF detects an emergency in your home, it sets off a tone alarm as well as a voice alarm that gives instructions and tells you what the danger is. It also uses voice notifications to let you know when you need to change the battery. If you buy more than one of these detectors – and you should!– you can network them through your home’s Wi Fi network. Once they are connected to the internet, you can download the Wink smart home app to control your smoke detectors, as well as many other devices, remotely. You can receive notifications on your phone if there’s an emergency while you are away; however, you need to buy a Wink hub to do so, which is an extra expense. Of all the smoke alarms we reviewed, this Kidde model fared the worst in our detection tests.
