The nest smoke alarm has been redesigned in a split-spectrum that test on its own. It can last for a decade. You can have it on your phone without requiring any hardware; therefore, reliable and flexible to use. It can detect smoke emergencies and notify your phone. It is worth investing in nest smoke alarms. They are cost-friendly, and once an alert is sent to your smartphone, you can silence the alarms at your place of comfort through the nest application. It is always safe to silence the alarm after confirming the condition of the house environment.

TYPES OF ALARMS
There are mainly four types of smoke alarm currently on the market – ionisation, optical (also described as photo electronic), heat and combined.
IONIZATION
These are the cheapest and cost very little to purchase. They are very sensitive to small particles of smoke produced by fast flaming fires, such as paper and wood, and will detect this type of fire before the smoke gets too thick. They are marginally less sensitive to slow burning and smouldering fires which give off larger quantities of smoke before flaming occurs. They can also be too over-sensitive near kitchens.
OPTICAL
These are more expensive but more effective at detecting larger particles of smoke produced by slow-burning fires, such as smouldering foam-filled upholstery and overheated PVC wiring. They are marginally less sensitive to fast flaming fires. Optical alarms can be installed near (not in) kitchens, as they are less likely than ionisation alarms to go off when toast is burned.
COMBINED SMOKE & CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM
Alarms that combine both smoke detection and CO alarm protection in one ceiling-mounted unit. This reduces costs and takes up less of your living space.
COMBINED OPTICAL SMOKE & HEAT ALARMS
These are more expensive but more effective at detecting larger particles of smoke produced by slow-burning fires, such as smouldering foam-filled upholstery and overheated PVC wiring. They are marginally less sensitive to fast flaming fires. Optical alarms can be installed near (not in) kitchens, as they are less likely than ionisation alarms to go off when toast is burned.
HEAT ALARMS
They detect the increase in temperature from a fire and are insensitive to smoke. They can therefore be installed in kitchens. They only cover a relatively small area of a room, so potentially several heat alarms need to be installed in a large kitchen.
