I have 7 current standard (non nest) smoke detectors. All connected together. If one goes all of them goes as well. However if I buy only 1 nest, and if the other goes off, I should still should get the notification that the nest went off right? So I don't need to get 7 nest but only truly need 1?
Can someone confirm ?
I also tried pricematch using chat at BestBuy.com but the chat agent would only price match for 1x unit (said it was BB policy) and I needed 3x of them. The phone agent also was only going to do a price match for 1x of them and had to ask her supervisor for an exception to order 3x of them for me.
I've never worked in retail, but even I know the pantry needs to have the oldest stuff most handy to avoid expiration. First in, first out (FIFO) for the programmers out there.

There's no way I'm spending a fortune on a disposable product to replace every smoke detector I've got. I don't need CO detection everywhere because I've only got 3 locations that can produce it. I also don't need every detector to have the ability to notify me via app.
My real motivation is that I wanted to consolidate the CO and smoke detector into 1 unit so I'm not dealing with more batteries and chirping at night, and also the night light feature for hallways near bathrooms.
So for me, 3 is a good number.
1 near the laundry room (gas dryer) where we enter the house (night light in the hallway).
1 in the hallway in front of the bathroom, which is adjacent to the kitchen (gas stove)
1 downstairs in the living room, just in front of the bathroom (gas furnace near the living room)

Generally this is done with perishable products, consumables, or anything with a date. It usually doesn't make sense, or is even a good use of time, to remove 15 iPhone cases from the shelf to put one new 'fresh' one in the back, then put all 15 older ones back where they were. Sure, a Nest Protect is a little different, but in their defense (or at least in the defense of the workers), there is no obvious manufacture or expiration date on these either, nor would I expect the average person to know they have a limited lifespan.
I'd say this is more on Nest/Google, to make this more obvious on the box, with a clear 'birth' date and 'end' date; and maybe a note in the shipping boxes to retailers to rotate their stock.

We'll one arrived today. And 4 more were shipped at various times today (individually - they all said ship from store in the app so I'm assuming there are many stores shipping it to me)?
It works out in the end, but I don't understand Walmart's supply chain model………..

Here's the hangup. Walmart requires a return and repurchase, and they don't honor online price or the original purchase price. I found newer stock with the Google branding instead of the Nest branding I received, and was told return/repurchase was the only option.
Sounds like a dead-end, but it's not necessarily. The newer Google branded product has the same SKU, so you could simply purchase the new stock at full price, and return the old stock with that same receipt.
The ethics of all this is murky. Walmart wasn't forthright that their motivation for discounting was to clear inventory of product that has half the remaining life left. You read a product description and you expect to get roughly what was advertised, not half that.
Exchanging the item just means some poor uninformed sucker is going to get stuck with old junk. I still don't blame the consumer, because it's not their job to make sure a perishable good is sold within a reasonable timeframe.
Final thought. If Google provides a 7 year warranty from the purchase date, and the expiration date is less than that, it seems Google is legally obligated to honor that warranty. Keep in mind Google's service for hardware failure is basically nonexistent. You can't talk to a person about replacing something under warranty, and even if you do, they will put you into a recursive loop of he ll that leads to nowhere. Then you're stuck wondering if you hire an attorney to sue Google for $40.
