    Unlike other alarm systems, this product is smart. It is a motion sensor and door magnet in one. As other systems make those features separate in their devices. In the app you can use it as both, or separate features, either as a motion sensor, door magnet, or both together.

    This is an excellent addition to the Nest Secure platform. It works exactly for what it is built for. It is just a bit pricey versus the competition.

    This are pretty cool in that they work as multipurpose sensors (door, motion, glass break). I bought these from best buy because I had a coupon to make them cheaper but they are pretty much the same price no matter where you buy them.

    Installed system with 5 door sensors and two inside cameras in a couple of hours. The set up was intuitive and down easy. I already had a Nest Hello doorbell and an exterior camera. Everything integrated perfectly. Operation is equally simple. I highly recommend Nest products.

    I have had the Nest security system for 4 months now. I purchased it because it is multi-functional. Great system and less items to purchase than my previous SimpliSafe system. Works well and I love the path light and quiet open features.

    I really like the Nest products. They give you an inexpensive avenue for home security. The products are extremely easy and fast to install. Nest offers real time viewing of what is going on at your house when you are away.

    I have all Nest products in my house. I originally got the alarm system that comes with two detects, but I need one more for the final entrance/exit in my house. It’s simple to install, easy to use and convenient. Would definitely recommend.

    Little pricey in my opinion. But I like that when doors open and alarm is off there is still a "ding" from the hub to tell me a door has been open. Haven't had connection issues to my knowledge. Just wish they were a bit cheaper.

    The Nest alarm system comes with a few of these and so,etimes you need to add more. This is the same as the ones you usually get with your initial purchase. Sense when the door or window is open and is a motion detector. Not an overly expensive add-on.

    I have many Google Home products and I purchased this to expand on my home security. These are easy to install, carry a connection at a good distance, I have one at least 200 ft from the router, and the fact that they can be used on doors, windows or as motion sensors is amazing I just wish the Nest secure came with one or two more of these.

    We wanted a security system that was easy to install and to setup and the Google Nest is exactly that. It's been working beautifully for over a year now.
