Nest Thermostat maker is now developing a WiFi-connected smoke alarm

Nest Thermostat maker is now developing a WiFi-connected smoke alarm

The Nest Protect, from the makers of the Nest Thermostat, aims to change the way your home smoke alarm works.  The Protect monitors smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide levels in your home.  It's smart about how it alerts you to possible emergency conditions, too.  You tell the Protect what room it's in, so a human voice can alert you with a “Heads up.  There's smoke in the kitchen.”  and a yellow light as an early warning before beginning to blare an alarm.  Because the Protect has a motion detector, you can simply wave your hand under it to stop the klaxons before they begin if you've simply burned the toast.
