Everyday sensor problem followed by sensor restored

geotu — Sat, 06 Nov 2021 02:28:07 GMT

One of my Nest Protect devices (all Gen 2) records a sensor problem and a sensor restored everyday, both at the same time. Please see included screenshot. I only noticed because I checked the history. Otherwise, there's no daily indication of any issue. Is this safe to use? Should I get a replacement under warranty?

I found another recent post about the same issue, but I think it's locked from commenting.

Since the unit was out of warranty and Nest support would not replace it, I opened it up and cleaned it. It didn't appear to be dirty at all, but I vacuumed it anyways and blew some compressed air. Since then, it has not reported any issues, so maybe there was something affecting the sensor. Anyways, thanks for following up, and feel free to close this ticket.
