    Kitchen one has gone off with cooking etc, could have just had a heat one in kitchen, but regs required all alarms linked and since went with nest had to have one in there also, would be great to be able to tell nest unit in an attic or kitchen to respond to heat only say.

    Have found app a bit unreliable for silencing alarms also,

    Heat alarms work in a fundamentaly different was from how Nests lasers work. So nest will need to launch a whole new device for heat.

    Disappointed to hear your experience of silencing the nest alarm, was one of the major selling points for me to get some. The better half is always smoking up the kitchen!

    Worked ok once, other time app said can't silence, must be near alarm, or something, when standing right below it, so had to get up on table to push button to silence. Annoying for me, impossible/v difficult for herself if here on her own. She's nervous now about cooking in kitchen.
    Both times, was smokey pan getting a good crust on steaks.

    Agree re heat, really meant a setting for say, cooking, so be less sensitive, although guess that's a recipe for disaster.

    May have to look at changing how it's done and swapping the kitchen one out, we have a strong extractor to outside and it's as far as possible really, centred over open plan end of long room, so a good 4m or so from the hob.

    It is the 2nd gen Nest Protect? I have 6 of them and have had no issues silencing the alarm.

    Yep, I’ve 6 too! it’s only happened the most recent time, I’m looking in to it, possibly something to do with streaming music from Spotify via Bluetooth at the same time as alarm warning came.

    Anyone know will these have any issues in a utility room? Mainly asking as the room has a condenser drier so it gets hot in there and cold when the drier is not on (part of a garage so I unheated)
