I purchased and paired two Nest Audio speakers in 2021. They have been in two spots in my home. Currently, they are very close to my router. The speakers are about six feet apart. In both locations, they have worked fine as a pair for years.Last nigh...

Moderator edit: Subject updated for clarity and findability. TL;DR: My Nest Protects just ran a sound check and it did NOT set off my Ring alarm system. After installing a Ring Alarm system with a Smoke/CO Listener (listens for smoke/CO alarms) over ...

I have six battery Protects. I just noticed that one has been reporting a sensor failure for over 10 days. I received no proactive notification (which is very concerning). I just happened to look at the app.On each day at 2:00pm, it reports, "There i...

I sent a message via the contact form a few days ago but haven't heard back. I mentioned the fact that it stopped reporting those sensor errors after I had taken the batteries out and "cleaned" it (that's in quotes because it didn't seem like there w...

At that point, I would contact Google support, tell them what's happening and that you tried new batteries. They may deem it malfunctioning and replace it.

Had 2 Nest Audio speakers paired for Three Years and all of a sudden, the pair broke, can't fix

History shows sensor failure then sensor restored every day
