Not the cheapest it's ever been but a good price nonetheless for someone looking for these. I recently had to replace both of my smoke alarms and bought 2x of these from TGG ebay for $151 each so I'm kinda spewing now but what can you do.

    It's funny how they removed the APIs for these things and then never provided a replacement (last I rememebr they aren't even in Google app)

    • ozbking on 12/03/2020 - 07:49

      It's why I haven't changed over from using a Nest account

      • scuderiarmani on 12/03/2020 - 08:04

        I wish I knew the issues…. Hopefully it's fixed.

          It’s quite likely you aren’t impacted then. It’s an issue if you hook into the smoke detectors as part of any home automation. If you use them standalone then it probably won’t matter.

          • Jabba the Hutt on 12/03/2020 - 13:23

            @Smigit: Can these be used in a truly standalone fashion? No need to install any app or create any account?

            • smashman42 on 13/03/2020 - 14:21

              @Jabba the Hutt: You need to use the app & a/c to set them up cause they talk to each other via WiFi & stuff. In theory they'd still work to a degree if you pissed the app off once they're up and running…

              However if you're doing that get the normal linked Quell ones or the like for less money and without the 2027 life limit so you get the full 10yrs out of em (cause of the replaceable batteries these things become illegal from 2023 in some situations like rentals, and 2027 in your own home).

    • Hydro on 12/03/2020 - 09:14

      Correct, I didn't due diligence and bought 5, went to set them up and they are 3rd "nest" software and app… not impressed.

      • fredblogs on 12/03/2020 - 12:06

        3rd?

        • Hydro on 12/03/2020 - 12:52

          3rd party app*
          It's not the google "home" app like everything else, it is the NEST app.

          • smashman42 on 13/03/2020 - 14:23

            @Hydro: They don't work in Google Home and if you use a Google a/c rather than Nest a/c, it breaks multi-user sharing (so only one person in the house can manipulate them, not set the whole family to cancel false alarms on their phones rather than with a broom handle)

    Have 2, nice units, love the night light too.

    Only recently upgraded, turns out both my original alarms needed replacing at 10yrs anyway.

    Honestly bought for the Google integration and night light, but they are quality.

    • RichieVn on 12/03/2020 - 08:16

      Hows the night light? Worth the $144 in itself?

      • chartparker on 12/03/2020 - 08:33

        I'd say yes. Especially when you're stumbling around in the dark with an infant in your arms

      • scuderiarmani on 12/03/2020 - 08:43

        Have an almost 3yo who occasionally wakes up and comes down the corridor, so in that sense it's priceless.

        It is quite practical though. Multiple settings in it too.

    Should we get wired or battery version?

    Pro and con for each?

    Thanks

    • finnthecheapskate on 12/03/2020 - 08:37

      If you already have the wires in the roof go wired , as you will never need to replace the battery

    • jubjub on 12/03/2020 - 08:37

      One is hard wired and the other is battery powered. I think the pros and cons are pretty straight forward tbh.

    • drezy on 12/03/2020 - 08:40

      Wired is better if replacing existing alarms, as you can simply use terminal blocks (from bunnings) to join existing wires to the new connector provided. Super easy to install yourself, however an electrician is recommended if you are not comfortable.

      Battery would be better for those in rental properties or temporary accommodations as you can easily remove it from wall and take it somewhere else.

      • scuderiarmani on 12/03/2020 - 08:44

        I would think legally it's required if hard-wired though?

      • fredblogs on 12/03/2020 - 08:48

        I'm guessing that it's not legal to do it yourself

        • chartparker on 12/03/2020 - 08:49

          Yep. Legally you are required to use a licensed electrician. Cost me about $100 to get mine installed with certificate

            @chartparker: assuming that one 'did it themselves' and then the house burnt down (not related to the diy install), would the insurance ask to see all the certificates for electrical works? asking for a friend

      • akyeeeahdude on 10/04/2020 - 10:22

        Using terminal blocks wouldn't be compliant as the wiring needs to be double insulated to meet Australian Standards. The wired model out of the box does not come with double insulated wiring.

        This isn't a big deal as some people make out to be - back when these were on special in December, some people were going off their chops saying they aren't compliant for us in Australia as the wiring isn't double insulated. I said no big deal - you just install it using a junction box which is basically how some outdoor lights need to be installed.

        I had two 240v Nests installed last week (remove existing hard wired alarms and replace), a single powerpoint converted to a double, a re-wire of the switch board (remove 40A RCD and disconnect from two 20A power circuits, then replace with two RCD/MCB circuits and reconnect), remove existing bathroom exhaust fan/heat light combo and replace with a new one, and finally, remove and replace the push button switch mechanism in two Clipsal Saturn light switches. All of this cost me $270 in labour.

      If you have wired, then wired, if not then battery or get it wired

  • [Deactivated] on 12/03/2020 - 09:26

    Note that the battery version doesn't meet the QLD legislated requirements which may affect you if you want to sell your home in the future. Not 100% sure that the wired version is ok in QLD either.

    If you're building a new home or have existing wired detectors you need wired in any other state as well.

  • fredblogs on 12/03/2020 - 09:43

    Does the battery last 10 years? https://www.vba.vic.gov.au/consumers/safety-guides/smoke-ala… "Homes constructed before 1st August 1997 may have smoke alarms powered by a battery."

    • scuderiarmani on 12/03/2020 - 11:37

      How longs a piece of string? Way to many variables….

      If you get black outs expect less, if you are unlucky, expect less….

    • fredblogs on 12/03/2020 - 12:07

      Never mind, it's 5 years, and a few minor advantages to getting wired: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9244116?hl=en

    • asa79 on 14/03/2020 - 07:45

      They are replaceable long life AA batteries, so you can easily get 10years out of it. You ahve to remember it has alot more features then a basic 9v batttery smoke alarm

    That are still a great unit without the api, the api is a bonus
