Most smart home products cover both security and convenience purposes, and the Nest Protect falls under that category. It not only protects your home, but it also provides you with a lot of extra convenient features. Since the alarm connects to the Wi-Fi, you will receive notifications on your smartphone even if you are not home. Alerts are automatically sent when the alarm goes off or detects a problem. You’ll also have the chance to silence the alarm before it starts blaring, perfect for minor episodes such as burning your toast.

During the occurrence of fire-related incidents, the Nest Protect ensures quick, reliable detection by looking for both fast and slow-burning fires. It can also speak up if it detects smoke or carbon monoxide (CO) and then tell you where the problem is so you can act immediately.

The ring on the Nest Protect usually has its light turned off, but will glow different colors depending on the warning. Yellow means it has detected low amounts of CO or smoke or if the sensors are malfunctioning, red is for high levels of smoke or CO, green is for when everything is back to normal, and blue is for setup and pairing. A motion-activated LED nightlight is also available, which will light your way when you walk underneath it.

Experience the benefits of a smoke alarm and a carbon monoxide detector in one compact device by getting your hands on the Nest Protect. The wired, second-generation model can be yours for only $99 instead of $119 from Black Friday up till Cyber Week. Order now while supplies are in stock.

When you talk about a big-capacity home battery, your first thought might be a bulky unit set against a garage wall. But Anker is putting wheels on it to make it a little more mobile. The new Anker SOLIX S5000 is a 5,024Wh portable power station that pairs 4,500W of rated output with 120V and 240V support, built-in wheels, and a telescoping handle.

As per official claims, a single unit can keep a collection of essential household devices running for 48 hours during an outage, while additional batteries can expand the system from 5kWh all the way to 30kWh.
