Nest Protect, will it detect smoke alarms from manual smoke alarms?

I have a few older smoke alarms. Thinking of getting a Nest Protect. If my older smoke alarms emit an alarm, will the Nest Protect hear it and alarm as well? I am also in Canada. 

 

Thanks All, 

David

No it will not. The nest's use a wireless interconnect to relay alarm status to other nest alarms only.
