Meet Nest Detect

Nest Detect can tell you what's happening in your home. Its sensors detect when doors and windows open and close, or when someone walks by. When it notices something, it will let Nest Guard know to sound an alarm. You can also get an alert sent to your phone, so you'll know what's happening when you're away.

How Nest Detect works

Nest Detect will sense different things depending on where you place it.

On a door

Nest Detect can sense when a door opens or closes, or when someone walks nearby.

On a window

Nest Detect can sense when a window opens or closes.

On a wall

Nest Detect can sense when someone walks nearby.

Installation tips

Use the Nest app

During setup, the Nest app will show you where to put Nest Detect and its open-close magnet so they work properly. Here are more things to consider before you install Nest Detect on a wall, window or door.

Mounting with adhesive strips

Nest Detect and the open-close magnet should be installed on smooth, flat surfaces only.

1. Make sure the surface is clean and dry.
2. Peel the protective cover off the adhesive strip.
3. Press evenly with your palm and hold in place for at least 30 seconds.
   The adhesive strips shouldn't be used on surfaces painted with low-VOC or zero-VOC paint or any surfaces not listed on page 15.

IMPORTANT: Nest Detect's adhesive strips are very strong and can't be easily repositioned. Before you press and hold it for 30 seconds, be sure Nest Detect is straight and in the right spot.

Mounting with screws

Install Nest Detect with screws if your walls, windows or doors have rough surfaces, are contoured or dirty, are prone to heat or high humidity, or are painted with low-VOC or zero-VOC paint. For best results use a Phillips #2 screwdriver.

1. Remove Nest Detect's mounting backplate and you'll see the screw hole.
2. Remove all the adhesive material from the backplate.
3. Screw the backplate onto the surface. Drill a 3/32" pilot hole first if you're attaching it to wood or other hard material.
4. Snap the Nest Detect onto its backplate.

To install the open-close magnet:

1. Snap off the backplate and you'll see the screw hole.
2. Remove all the adhesive material from the backplate.
3. Screw the backplate onto the surface. Drill a 1/16" pilot hole first if you're attaching it to wood or other hard material.
4. Snap the open-close magnet onto its backplate.

Installing Nest Detect on a door or window

• Nest Detect should only be installed indoors.
  • Install Nest Detect on the upper corner of a door or window with the Nest logo right side up.
• Nest Detect should be attached horizontally on vertical double-hung windows.
• Make sure you choose a spot for Nest Detect where the magnet can also fit. They need to be installed close together to sense when doors and windows open or close.

IMPORTANT: Nest Detect should only be installed indoors.

Orienting Nest Detect for motion detection

When installing Nest Detect on a door or wall, the Nest logo must be upright to detect motion.

Installing the open-close magnet

- Install the magnet on the door or window frame inside the room. You'll know it's in the right spot when the Nest Detect light ring turns green.

- The magnet should be aligned with the bottom of Nest Detect and placed within 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) of Detect when the door or window is closed, as shown in the image to the below.

Installing Nest Detect on a wall

• Choose a flat spot on the wall or in a corner of a room. For more information on mounting heights refer to page 8.
• Make sure Nest Detect is pointed toward the area you want to keep track of. For more information on motion detection range, refer to page 8.
• To install Nest Detect in a corner, take off the flat backplate and use the included corner backplate for installation.

Features

Quiet Open

When the security level is set to Home and Guarding, you can use Quiet Open to open a door or window without the alarm going off. Press the button on the Nest Detect that you want to use. The light ring will turn green, and you'll have 10 seconds to open it. Your Detect will automatically re-arm when you close the door or window.

You can enable or disable Quiet Open in the Nest app's Settings menu. Select Security then Security Levels.

Pathlight

When you walk by Nest Detect in the dark, Pathlight turns on to help light your way. Using Pathlight may decrease Nest Detect's battery life, so you can change the brightness or turn it off with the Nest app.

Pathlight is off by default. You'll need to turn it on with the Nest app in Nest Detect's Settings menu.

Dog Pass

If you have a dog under 40 pounds (18 kg), you can turn on Reduced Motion Sensitivity with the Nest app to help prevent false alarms caused by your dog. For more information, see page 9.

Tamper detection

If someone tampers with Nest Detect and removes it from the backplate, the Nest app will send you an alert to let you know.

Operation

How to test your Nest Detect

You should test your Nest Detect at least once each year. To check to make sure open/close detection or motion detection is working on your Nest Detect, follow these instructions.

1. Tap the gear icon in the upper right corner of the Nest app home screen.
2. Select the Nest Detect you want to test from the list.
3. Select "Check setup" and follow the app instructions. It will walk you through opening and closing your door or window, or testing motion detection in the room.

Restart

If your Nest Detect loses its connection to the Nest app, or the light ring glows yellow when you press the button, it might help to restart it. Just press and hold the button for 10 seconds.

Reset to factory settings

If you remove Nest Detect from your Nest Account, you must reset it to factory settings before it can be used again. To reset:

1. Set Nest Secure to Off, or the alarm will sound when you reset Detect.
2. Press and hold down Nest Detect's button until the light ring pulses yellow (around 15 seconds).
3. Release the button when the light ring pulses yellow.

Check for updates

Nest Detect will automatically update its software, but you can manually check for updates if you want.

1. Disarm Nest Secure.
2. Press Detect's button and release it.
3. Press the button again and hold it down. Release it when the light blinks blue.
4. Detect will begin automatically updating its software and turn off the light when finished.

How to check Detect's status

Just press the button and the light ring will tell you if Nest Detect is working and connected to Nest Guard.

Safety and useful information

Special considerations

• In some installations the magnet may need to travel up to 1.97" (50 mm) for Nest Detect to detect that a door or window is open.
• Don't install Nest Detect outdoors.
• Don't install Nest Detect in a garage.
• Don't install Nest Detect on glass.
• Nest Detect can't detect motion through glass, like if someone's moving outside a window.
• Don't install where Nest Detect could get wet, like swing-out windows that could be rained on.
• Don't install Nest Detect or the open-close magnet where pets or young children can reach them.
• Don't expose the adhesive mounting strips to oils, chemicals, refrigerants, soaps, X-rays or sunlight.
• Don't paint any part of Nest Guard, Detect or Tag.
• Don't install Nest Detect near magnets other than the open-close magnet. They'll interfere with Nest Detect's open-close sensors.
• Don't install Nest Detect within 3 feet (1 m) of a heat source like an electric heater, heat vent or fireplace or another source that may produce turbulent air.
• Don't install Nest Detect behind large appliances or furniture that may obstruct its motion sensors.

Maintenance

• Nest Detect should be cleaned once every month. If the motion sensor gets dirty, the detection range could decrease.
• To clean, wipe with a damp cloth. You can use isopropyl alcohol if it gets really dirty.
• Make sure Nest Detect senses motion after cleaning. Follow the testing instructions in the Nest app.

Temperature considerations

Nest Detect is meant to be used indoors in temperatures of 0^ C ( 32^ F) to 40^ C ( 104^ F) up to 93% humidity.

Battery replacement

The Nest app will notify you when a Detect's battery gets low. Remove the battery and replace it with another Energizer CR123 or Panasonic CR123A 3V lithium battery.

To open the battery compartment:

• If Nest Detect is mounted to a surface, grip the top and pull it firmly toward you.
• If Nest Detect is not mounted to a surface, use a flathead screwdriver to pry off the backplate.

Troubleshooting offline issues

If one or more Detects are listed as offline in the Nest app after installation, they may be too far from Guard to connect. You can install a Nest Connect (sold separately) to bridge the gap, or try moving your Detects and Guard closer together.

False alarms

The following may cause unintended alarms:

• Pets that walk, climb or fly above 3 feet (1 m)
  • Pets heavier than 40 pounds (18 kg)
• Heat sources like electric heaters, heat vents and fireplaces
• Cold sources like drafty windows, air conditioners and AC vents
• Curtains near windows that may move while Nest Guard is armed
• Direct sun exposure: the front of Nest Guard and Nest Detect should not be placed in direct sunlight
• Party balloons left unattended: they may drift into the field of view of your sensors
• Insects that may come very close to the sensor
• Vibration or movement caused by pets bumping Nest Guard when it's set to Away and Guarding
• Wireless access points within 6 feet (2 m) of Nest Detect.

WARNING

Wireless communications

• Nest Guard and Nest Detects are engineered to communicate with each other if they're within 50 ft of each other in a home.
• Some features of a home may reduce the effective range, including the number of floors, number and size of rooms, furniture, large metallic appliances, construction materials, and other features like suspended ceilings, ductwork and metal studs.
• Nest Guard's and Nest Detect's specified range is for comparative purposes only and may be reduced when installed in a home.
• Wireless transmissions between buildings will not work and the alarms will not communicate properly.
• Metal objects and metallic wallpaper may interfere with signals from wireless alarms. Test your Nest products first with metal doors opened and closed.
• Nest Guard and Nest Detect have been specifically designed and tested to comply with the standards for which they are Listed. While Nest's wireless network may route signals through other Nest or other Thread-compatible products* to optimize network reliability, you need to ensure every Nest Detect can communicate with Nest Guard directly.

To make sure Nest Detect can directly communicate to Nest Guard, completely power off your other Nest or other Thread-compatible products before installing or relocating Nest Detect. Nest Detect will flash yellow 5 times during installation if it cannot directly communicate to Nest Guard. Nest Detect's light ring will pulse green when it's connected to Nest Guard. To learn more about powering off your Nest or other Thread-compatible products, please see the user guides included with your devices, or support.nest.com, for more information.

Placement tips

The Nest app will tell you how to install and set up Nest Guard, Nest Detect and Nest Tag. Here are some tips to get started.

Where to place Nest Guard

It should be close to where you come and go.

So it's easy to access on your way in and out.

Make sure it's at the right height.

Put Nest Guard on a table or low shelf so it's easy to reach and its motion sensor can see the room. It must be between 28 and 42 inches above the floor.

Illustration of a wireless device with Wi-Fi signal icon above it, no text or symbols present

Find a spot with a good Wi-Fi signal.

Nest Guard needs a Wi-Fi internet connection so it can send alerts and notifications to your phone.

Use an unswitched wall outlet.

Choose an outlet that's not controlled by a switch, so you don't accidentally turn off Nest Guard. The included bracket helps keep Nest Guard plugged in.

The motion sensor should face front.

Keep it free from mail, keys and anything else that could block its view.

Nest Guard placement

Guard should be placed on a surface 28 to 42 inches (0.7 to 1.2 m) above the floor, and within 2 feet (0.6 m) of the edge so it has a clear view of the room. If it's placed outside of these specifications, the detection range can be affected, and you may also experience false alarms.

Standard detection area

Nest Guard can sense motion from people walking up to 10 feet (3 m) away and up to 90° in front of it.

Where you can place Nest Detect

Nest Detect will sense different things depending on where you place it.

On a door

Nest Detect can sense when a door opens or closes, or when someone walks nearby.

On a window

Nest Detect can sense when a window opens or closes.

On a wall

Nest Detect can sense when someone walks nearby.

Using Nest Secure

SETTING THE SECURITY LEVELS

Nest Secure has three different security levels you'll use when you're home or away. You can easily switch between them on Nest Guard or with the Nest app.

		WHAT HAPPENS	WHAT'S DETECTEDMotion Open/close		NOTIFICATIONSAlarm and security alerts
	Away and GuardingUse when no one is home.	The alarm sounds when a door or window opens, or when there's motion in a room.	√	√	√
	Home and GuardingUse when you're home and want security.	The alarm sounds when a door or window opens.	—	√	√
	OffUse when you don't want security.	The alarm won't sound.	—	—	—

HOW TO ARM AND DISARM

You can arm and disarm your home in three ways: entering your passcode on Guard, tapping Tag on Guard, or using the Nest app. When you hear Nest Guard's Heads-Up alert, the light ring will also show you a countdown so you know how much time you have before the alarm sounds.

Nest Tag

Hold Tag on Nest Guard to:

• Disarm

• Arm to Away and Guarding
• Silence when the alarm is sounding

Nest Guard

• To arm: Press a security level button.
• To disarm: Enter your passcode, then press the √ button.
• If you make a mistake, press the Ⓧ button, then try again.

If you enter the wrong passcode five times, you won't be able to try again for 90 seconds. But you can use the Nest app or Tag to disarm.

NEST SECURE FEATURES

No Rush

With No Rush, you can take the time you need to leave home or disarm before the alarm sounds. By default, you have 60 seconds. But you can use the Nest app to choose a different time limit between 45 seconds and 5 minutes.

Remind Me

If anyone forgets to arm or disarm, the Nest app can send a Remind Me notification to the last person who left the house or the first to come home. They can easily arm or disarm by tapping the Remind Me notification.

IMPORTANT: Nest Secure does not automatically arm or disarm when you leave or come home. Arming and disarming must be done manually with the Nest app or on Guard.

NEST GUARD FEATURES

Info button

If the Info button lights up, there's an issue with your security system. Press the button and Nest Guard will tell you what it is. Some issues might prevent the system from keeping your home secure.

Issues that won't prevent arming:

• A door or window is open
• Power loss on Guard
• Poor network connectivity
• A device needs attention and should be checked

Issues that prevent arming:

If there's an issue that will prevent arming the Info button will turn red.

• Very low battery on Guard

• A software update is in progress

- Hardware failure

- Wireless interference

IMPORTANT: If you leave a window or door open and arm Nest Secure, the Detect on that door or window is temporarily deactivated. The alarm won't sound if someone opens it more or closes it.

Backup features

Nest Guard battery backup

Nest Guard includes a backup battery that will last for up to 12 hours. So even if the power is out, Nest Secure can still detect when an intruder is in your home and sound the alarm.

Nest cellular backup

You can purchase a cellular backup subscription at store.nest.com that will let Nest Secure stay connected if your home's Wi-Fi or internet connection has stopped working. With cellular backup, you can still get mobile notifications, arm and disarm with your phone, and more.

Heads-Up and alarm

Heads-Up

Before the alarm goes off, you'll usually hear a Heads-Up: a friendly, human voice that tells you the alarm is about to sound. After the Heads-Up, you'll have 60 seconds to disarm. This time can be adjusted in the Nest app's alarm countdown setting.

Alarm

When Nest Guard sounds the alarm, its light ring will pulse red. You can also get a mobile alert so you'll know what's happening at home. To turn the alarm off, use the app, enter your passcode on Nest Guard, or tap Nest Tag on Guard.

Panic button

Nest Guard's panic button can also sound the alarm. Press and hold the button until the alarm sounds. The light ring will also turn red. If you release the button early, the alarm won't sound.

Pressing the panic button sounds the alarm and sends mobile notifications to other people who share access to your home with the Nest app.

IMPORTANT: Nest Secure and cellular backup do not include third-party monitored emergency notifications, response or police dispatch.

NEST DETECT FEATURES

Quiet Open

When Nest Secure is set to Home and Guarding, you can use Quiet Open to open a door or window without the alarm going off. Press the button on the Nest Detect that you want to use. The light ring will turn green, and you'll have 10 seconds to open it. Your Detect will automatically re-arm when you close the door or window.

You can enable or disable Quiet Open in the Nest app's Settings menu. Select Security then Security Levels.

Pathlight

When you walk by Nest Detect in the dark, Pathlight turns on to help light your way. Using Pathlight may decrease Nest Detect's battery life, so you can change the brightness or turn it off with the Nest app.

Pathlight is off by default. You'll need to turn it on with the Nest app in Nest Detect's Settings menu.

Dog Pass

If you have a dog under 40 pounds (18 kg), you can turn on Reduced Motion Sensitivity with the Nest app to help prevent false alarms caused by your dog.

Tamper detection

If someone tampers with Nest Detect and removes it from the backplate, the Nest app will send you an alert to let you know.

Add more Nest Detects

NEST TAG FEATURES

Home Entry Schedules

When you give a Nest Tag to someone you can also set a schedule for them, so people like your dog walker or cleaner can only come in during certain times.

Disabling Nest Tag

If you lose or misplace a Tag, you can disable it with the Nest app in the Settings menu. You can always re-enable your Tag later.

Add more Nest Tags

You can give Nest Tags to everyone who needs to enter your home. Use the Nest app to scan the QR code on a new Tag and assign it to anyone you like.

TAMPER DETECTION

Nest Guard and Nest Detect can sense if they're being tampered with.

In Home and Guarding, the alarm sounds when:

• If Nest Detect is not mounted to a surface, use a flathead screwdriver to pry off the backplate.

INSTALLATION TIPS FOR NEST DETECT

During setup, the Nest app will show you where to put Nest Detect and its open-close magnet so they work properly.

Here are more things to consider before you install Nest Detect on a wall, window or door.

Mounting with adhesive strips

Nest Detect and the open-close magnet should be installed on smooth, flat surfaces only.

1. Make sure the surface is clean and dry.
2. Peel the protective cover off the adhesive strip.
3. Press evenly with your palm and hold in place for at least 30 seconds.

The adhesive strips shouldn't be used on surfaces painted with low-VOC or zero-VOC paint or any surfaces not listed on page 28.

IMPORTANT: Nest Detect's adhesive strips are very strong and can't be easily repositioned. Before you press and hold it for 30 seconds, be sure Nest Detect is straight and in the right spot.

Mounting with screws

Install Nest Detect with screws if your walls, windows or doors have rough surfaces, are contoured or dirty, are prone to heat or high humidity, or are painted with low-VOC or zero-VOC paint. For best results use a Phillips #2 screwdriver.

1. Remove Nest Detect's mounting backplate and you'll see the screw hole.
2. Remove all the adhesive material from the backplate.
3. Screw the backplate onto the surface. Drill a 3/32" pilot hole first if you're attaching it to wood or other hard material.
4. Snap the Nest Detect onto its backplate.

To install the open-close magnet:

1. Snap off the backplate and you'll see the screw hole.
2. Remove all the adhesive material from the backplate.
3. Screw the backplate onto the surface. Drill a 1/16" pilot hole first if you're attaching it to wood or other hard material.
4. Snap the open-close magnet onto its backplate.

Orienting Nest Detect for motion detection

When installing Nest Detect on a door or wall, the Nest logo must be upright to detect motion.

Installing Nest Detect on a door or window

• Nest Detect should only be installed indoors.
  • Install Nest Detect on the upper corner of a door or window with the Nest logo right side up.
• Nest Detect should be attached horizontally on vertical double-hung windows.
• Make sure you choose a spot for Nest Detect where the magnet can also fit. They need to be installed close together to sense when doors and windows open or close.

Installing the open-close magnet:

• Install the magnet on the door or window frame inside the room. The Nest app will show you where to place it, and you'll know it's in the right spot when the Nest Detect light ring turns green.
• The magnet should be aligned with the bottom of Nest Detect and placed within 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) of Detect when the door or window is closed, as shown in the image below.

IMPORTANT: Nest Detect should only be installed indoors.

1.5 inches (3.8 cm) max

Installing Nest Detect on a wall

• Choose a flat spot on the wall or in a corner of a room. For more information on mounting heights, refer to page 14.
• Make sure Nest Detect is pointed toward the area you want to keep track of. For more information on motion detection range, refer to page 14.
• To install Nest Detect in a corner, take off the flat backplate and use the included corner backplate for installation.

Troubleshooting offline issues

If one or more Detects are listed as offline in the Nest app after installation, they may be too far from Guard to connect. You can install a Nest Connect (sold separately) to bridge the gap, or try moving your Detects and Guard closer together.

MORE ABOUT GUARD AND DETECT

False alarms

The following may cause unintended alarms:

• Pets that walk, climb or fly above 3 feet (1 m)
  • Pets heavier than 40 pounds (18 kg)
