Do you have a NEST CO/Smoke Detector?

Recall of Nest Smoke/CO combo alarms due to arm wave silence.

Nest Labs is recalling their Smoke/CO Alarms due to a failure to sound an alert. \

                                            

These alarms can be controlled by a computer/ smartphone using a wireless network. The problem is the “Nest Wave” function. It seems that you can accidently silence the detector by waving your arms. This is similar to the “clap on- clap off” feature on these device.

Homeowners who have these devices already connected should confirm the update to disable this function has been installed at the "Nest Sense" area of their account. You should also ensure the button for "Nest Wave" is set to off and grayed out.

About 440 thousand of these have been sold by Best Buy, Home Depot and other retailers nationwide, and online at nest.com, amazon.com, bestbuy.com and homedepot.com from November 15, 2013 to April 3, 2014 for about $130.
