BUT... IMO do not buy these since Google has discontinued them. Yeah, they'll work as basic smoke alarms, but very very good chance they'll literally remove their functionality from both the Nest and Home apps in a year or so and leave you with very expensive pretty-looking fire alarms that can do thing but make noise.
They did this a couple years ago for the Nest Secure system, which was pretty damn expensive. As a 'make good' they provided a $200 google store credit, so about half the retail cost, not including other sensors. Bullshit, but fine, whatever… After about two hours on the phone with clueless reps to be 'issued' the credit. But worst of all, when I went to use the credit a couple months later, it would not work and after multiple attempts to have google reinstate/reissue they just stone walled saying they 'couldn't'. Not that the credit was used (asked if it was, they were unable to determine yes/no) , incorrectly issued, etc, etc. Literally just that they 'couldn't' reissue me use of the very credit they issued me that never worked.
Over the past decade I had probably spent $5k+ on Nest and Google hardware (phones, cameras, smoke detectors, etc, etc) Telling this to the reps meant nothing to them. I even urged them to review my account if they could see I wasn't full off BS and see the devices connected to my account. One of the reps gave a slightly human response along the lines of "oh, wow. yes. I see you've been a long time and frequent customer with many devices" and still...no effort to attempt to set things right.
Sundar Pichai has absolutely ruined Google IMO. Sorry for my rant, but Google has leveled up beyond enshitification in the past few years. Thrilled that they're prob going to be forced to sell/spin off Chrome. Doubtful after kissing the God-king's ring this past inauguration, but I hope the FTC & DOJ don't stop there.

I have 8 of these, 5 that expire in 2030 and 3 in 2033. I'm tempted to pick up a couple more but seems like kind of a waste to leave them sitting in a box using up most of their life the next 5 years. I guess can hope someone comes out with a comparable model before then..
The previous FirstAlert OneLink was horrible. It looked similar to the Nest and had a nightlight, but no motion sensor. It was completely unreliable; When there was a (false) alarm, the app notifications would not work, nor would it be able to 'silence' the alarm. The only thing the app could do fairly consistently was change the intensity of the nightlight.
Hope the replacement is not the OneLink or at least have some improvements.
