https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Protect/The-backplate-doesn-t-work-on-my-wired-boxes/m-p/153161#M2858 <P>I have four google nest smoke detectors to replace my expiring wired detectors.&nbsp; I got the battery version because Google, in its infinite wisdom, decided to use a different wiring than any other detector.&nbsp; I start to install these and discover that Google, in its infinite wisdom, uses a different backplate for battery vs. wired.&nbsp; Which makes no sense.&nbsp; How can I get the correct backplate for a wired box. From previous postings, it appears that the detector itself fits on either plate. Thanks.</P> Sat, 30 Apr 2022 22:07:22 GMT lenstoner 2022-04-30T22:07:22Z https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Nest-Protect/The-backplate-doesn-t-work-on-my-wired-boxes/m-p/153161#M2858 <P>I have four google nest smoke detectors to replace my expiring wired detectors.&nbsp; I got the battery version because Google, in its infinite wisdom, decided to use a different wiring than any other detector.&nbsp; I start to install these and discover that Google, in its infinite wisdom, uses a different backplate for battery vs. wired.&nbsp; Which makes no sense.&nbsp; How can I get the correct backplate for a wired box.
