Nest Secure in depth: how it works and using the app

[@fernandolamwu1123]

What is the operational temperature of the sensor? I need to install one in my garage door. There is no heat in my garage so in the winter, it gets close to freezing.

[@fernandolamwu1123]

I enter my house through the garage a lot. It is not convenient to make it all the way to the base station upstairs. Besides setting the alarm to activate in a longer time (5 min for example), or turning it of via app (weak cell phone signal or wi-fi outage) is there another way to do deactivate the alarm? Some systems allow setting up 2 keypads to deactivate the alarm system for multiple access users

The voice notification is very low. When you come in the home, it says "The alarm will sound in 'x' seconds," but kids, a dog, or a bunch of groceries that you're trying tog RT though the door, will easily mask any voice notifications the nest guard makes. You cannot adjust the voice notification volume. There is also no option for constant beeping when you set up to leave or when you arrive home like traditional alarms.

Can I disable one or multiple sensor(s) and arm the alarm system? I may leave a window cracked open for air while at home/short trip out with the system armed.

You may do that using the Quiet Open feature.

I recently purchased the ring home alarm system, I most say isn’t the best purchase I have ever made

You pay more with Nest, but it's a worth every $$$.

What’s the range in the sensors? I have a two-story home. Thanks

[@Ndlelex]

You can buy additional Nest Connect units to extend sensor range.

I have a question, how about if thief cut the power cable.

There's a battery backup built in, it's rated for 12 hours but some reviewers who tested it have reported up to 48 hours of backup time.

Has anyone imported one to the UK? If so, does it work as it should?

[@jamesharvey6960]

@Olly Barrett thanks for replying! Let me know how it goes. Where did you get it from? Cheers

[@jamesharvey6960]

Just ordered one...

[@jamesharvey6960]

@Olly Barrett got mine from eBay too, paid around 300. 45 quid for the shipping. How do you know if it's a prepaid customs payment?

[@jamesharvey6960]

Using USPS Priority Mail International. Is that the same as you? Thanks for your help

[@jamesharvey6960]

@Olly Barrett mine arrived today, all set up and works with no issues. Have you got Google home set up on it too?

And the Google Home app still sucks. Long live the Nest app.
