Decided to ditch traditional security system and go for something affordable. I got this for a deal as brand new, so for the original price point is a bit steep compared to other competitors. Setup is somewhat a breeze but you do need to prepare to restart a few times just the Nest Detect can set up. I don't know what caused the detect device connecting the security hub. Couple other key missing features There is no panic key code that you can secretly set. In a forceful entry situation, u want to key in a code so send distressed signal to emergency contact The door chime/ sound needs to be louder or voice notification via Google speakers that are connected The app interface via nest app is confusing but I can live with that. Google home doesn't manage the security system I do like the fact that the detector can serve as motion sensor. Window/door sensor. It goes great with my house We will see how it holds up but so far so good. I didn't opt for professional monitoring but I did have their nest aware plan Read full review

I really wanted to love this alarm system. I am invested in both the Nest and Google ecosystems with several products in my home. Unfortunately, Nest Secure falls short of expectations due to glaring omissions in functionality. The system arrived well-packaged and included straightforward instructions. Set-up was a breeze and I quickly had it up running. However, after a user-friendly installment, I discovered I was unable to integrate Nest Secure into the Google Home app. Given Google's acquisition of Nest and forced migration this is simply an inexcusable oversight. Further, the alarm cannot be set to arm and disarm on a schedule. The whole point of a "smart" device is its ability to be well...smart. So, now I need to use both the legacy Nest app and Google Home to control my various devices and also send myself reminders to turnoff the alarm in the morning. Nest Secure is relatively expensive and I cannot fathom why this basic feature is missing. Very frustrating! Another minor annoyance is the inability to adjust the volume on the base unit. Depending on its location in your house, it is very easy to miss verbal security alerts and trigger false alarms. Again, the function does not match the form. If I had done better research, I probably wouldn't have purchased this system.Read full review

This was hands down the best deal on the internet. Nest is synonymous with premium. This alarm system exceeds my expectations. Yes you’re locked into an ecosystem, but it’s the same with most brands, “Apple.” This works flawlessly with other Nest products. I’m eager to see what other products they add to their line of smartphone devices. Hello Doorbell, Nestxyale, IQ cams, Nest protect and thermostat works seamlessly with the alarm.

I found the Nest Secure system easy to install and setup. All parts of it, from the door sensors to the key fobs and base unit, seem to be high quality and well designed. I have found most everything I want to do with the system is programmable if you take the time to look through all the menu choices. For example, how long do you want it give you on entry and exit before it alarms. Pros: High quality, well designed, many settings to choose from, great value if you don't plan to pay for a third party monitoring service. Unlike Simplisafe, this system let's you do most everything you could want in the phone app without having to pay a monthly fee. Imagine saving $15 to $30 a month or more on monitoring fees and then you might consider the higher prices for the Nest Secure system a pretty good value. Cons: As I understand it, starting this year, you can only activate the cellular backup system if you go with a professionally monitored service, and I think Nest has only partnered with Brinks, and I consider them kind of pricey (like $30 a month and up). And the Nest Detect sensors at $49 each are a little pricey if you need more than the two that comes in the starter system. Read full review

The alarm overall is great. Works as described. I guess my only gripe is that I would like to see even MORE integration with other Nest products or even smart products in general. Example, I have the Nest x Yale lock and its awesome being able to disarm my lock when opening the door but why stop there? Why can't for example the Nest Protect smoke alarms or Nest Thermostats also be used to detect motion? Why can't the nest camera also be used to detect motion rather then just provide a video feed? Why cant the Nest Protect sound the alarm too when the nest secure is triggered? Why can't the Philips hue lights in my house start flashing or turn red in the alarm is triggered? They CLEARLY have the capability but Nest would rather milk you for another $59 nest detect then provide TRUE smart home integration that would be as simple as a firmware update. If I'm going to pay high end prices shouldn't I get a high end product? Again the product itself is fine and performs as advertised. It could just be SO MUCH more if Nest stopped treating their customers like cash dispensing ATMs. I'd easily pay twice as much for TRUE integration across the board. Nest unfortunately is too short-sighted to see the potential. Read full review
