Nest Protect Trigger Missing: Smoke Detected

vicentegz — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 01:29:38 GMT

Hello! To all that read this, I hope you can relate to the issue I'm experiencing. The Google Home app is missing a key Trigger that features a Nest Protect. Currently the only triggers available are: Starts or stops charging. Plugged in or unplugged.

I STRONGLY feel like the trigger: Smoke Detected is ESSENTIAL for a product like this. I can't see many ways in which the current triggers can be implemented into routines. I sincerely hope this feature is implemented ASAP. If anyone relates to this issue please help by replying to this thread so it is noticed!

Cheers!
