Awesome Product ! works so well and looks really clean. I actually installed two of the light switches in a 2 gang outlet I attached a pic. To do this you kinda need to be handy and have a good idea on how electrical works. I am no electrician and was able to figure it out. I have used Belkin Products for years they have great quality control and the product shows !! I wish that they allowed dimming but you cant have it all I guess...

I want to love this product! I just can't give it more than 3-3.5 stars.. In general they work as advertised, but there is a problem...false alarms. I have 7 Nest protects throughout my house, some wired, some wireless. They do what they say, detect when there is smoke or co2, and USUALLY aren't overly sensitive. Once they go off however, it is near impossible to shut them off, and by "them" I mean all 7 of them because of the linked connection. And to be honest, the false alarms scared the **** out of me! The night light feature and the linking with my Nest thermostat is great. With that all said I have had multiple false alarms. To be fair the first time, one of the protects sent me a notice via the app (that I missed) that one of the sensors were failing (after 8 months). The end result was a 3am alarm blasting from everywhere in the house. To shut them off you basically have to get a ladder, take each one down, use a screw driver and take out the batteries. I contacted Nest and they promptly sent out a replacement, but not until you give them a credit card and basically prepay for it... this bothered me, a lot. They refund you once they get the old unit back... but in the mean time you have paid for 2 units, yet you are down one unit in your house for a couple days.

The next couple times were just "heads up". Its only happened the two times since the replacement, which was about 6 months ago, but one time during the day, and once at 2am, my detect in my bedroom shined a yellow light and yelled "Heads UP, There's Smoke In The Kitchen" or.. "Basement". Neither were correct, like at all. I'm sure you can understand how stressful it can be having that happen to you at 2am while your family is in bed (though not after the alarm). It turns into me running around the house for the next hour making sure nothing is wrong. One more time and I'll be throwing the $700 investment in the trash and will have to buy something more old school/reliable. Assuming the false positive thing is behind Nest (knock on wood), this review can be moved to a 5 star.

The inventor of this little bugger is brilliant and in my opinion deserves a public nod and a product 'plug', (pun intended) from the representatives of the State of California where draught conditions threaten the state's water supply.  I don't even have to think about turning it on, but when it turns yellow, you can be assured that I step up my lazy morning routine.

I can't recommend it more highly.

Title says all...great product...but still to expensive...

I totally believe in this product. It's innovative, sleek, and smart! Everything I want my home to be.

I just wish the app was configurable to send alerts to all my family members at once. We are all VERY connected to our devices and it shouldn't be just for me.

I definitely recommend it though.  Get one!

We have had 2 Nest for some time. About a week and half ago, I replaced our 2 smoke/co alarms with 2 Nest Protect.

Around 5am yesterday, we were awaken with a CO leak warning. I hushed alarm and it alerted levels were rising. I turned off furnace and opened up house and check on everybody. About an hour later, the Nest Protect gave the all clear message. I closed windows and doors (it was below freezing out). I waited a bit and turned furnace on, and before too long got the CO alert again. I cleared house and turned off furnace. It was Sat. but got my heating and cooling guy out later in day.

I had some clogged igniters (2 out of 3) that was causing gas to get into system before finally firing.

I have no idea if old alarms would have alerted me as quickly as nest protect did, but I am glad to have these in my home now.

Thanks for great product.

I have a couple of the Wemo sockets that plug into the wall, and have been eagerly awaiting the in-wall switch. I got two, one for the front door lights and one for a bedroom. Installation is easy, with no other tools required other than a screwdriver and access to your circuit breaker. Note that you need a neutral (white) wire for the unit to work. Once it's in the wall, you can use the iOS or Android app to configure the switch to use your wifi network. The first thing it will do is download a firmware update (easy) and restart, then you're ready to program it. The app has a nice step-by-step workflow for adding rules. The app is location aware so you can set it to turn on/off with the sun if you want. There's also a fully-featured set of IFTTT (If This, Then That) triggers if you want to get creative, turning on the lights and tweeting about it when certain events happen. You could set a trigger to anything: new pope, new royal baby, someone walking by a motion sensor, texts from a certain number, and so on.

Belkin deserves a lot of credit for sticking with their software, updating it to allow multiple triggers and greatly enhancing ease of use and reliability from the original release. The Light Switch hardware is simple and attractive. The switch itself is standard sized, so you can use any faceplate you want. No need to worry that you're stuck with the big white faceplate from the photographs.

I hope the Wemo equipment becomes a standard and sticks around for a long time.
