https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Protect/Nest-Protect-Gen-2-Mounting-Plate/m-p/59337#M1532 <P>I purchased a battery version of the Nest Protect Gen 2 to replace my wireless Gen 1. The problem is that the mounting plate on the Gen 2 is completely different than the Gen 1 and I cannot mount it to the old electrical box that was there for our very old wired smoke detector. How do I mount a Gen 2 smoke detector onto a wire box?</P> Wed, 08 Dec 2021 16:54:46 GMT Jenso 2021-12-08T16:54:46Z https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Protect/Nest-Protect-Gen-2-Mounting-Plate/m-p/59337#M1532 <P>I purchased a battery version of the Nest Protect Gen 2 to replace my wireless Gen 1.
