According to our smoke detector expert
The Google Nest Protect V2 Power Grid keeps you informed about smoke development or carbon monoxide leaks in your home anytime, anywhere. As soon as this smoke and carbon monoxide detector is mounted to your ceiling, you can control it using the Nest app on your smartphone or tablet. When the detector detects smoke or carbon monoxide, the alarm goes off and you hear a voice. This voice tells you exactly which part of your house is dangerous. The apps also keeps you notified of a low battery level and sensor outages. You can easily install the detectors by plugging them in a socket.
The Google Nest Protect V2 only works on your existing mains electricity.

Full of anticipation, I bought a Nest Protect to replace the first of my existing Ei.146 smoke detectors. Since this is also equipped with 230V (new-build home) and because I don't feel like regularly replacing 6 (expensive, Nest recommends a specific type) AA batteries, I chose the Wired version.
However, what is my surprise: in contrast to other wired systems, it is not simply possible to directly screw the 230 volts into the device. Nest supplies a plug on a piece of cable that must be connected to the existing cables with (supplied, that in turn) welding caps. Well, that's not the worst either (although I don't have a junction box in the ceiling so certainly no room for welding caps, but that could be solved with some soldering and insulating tape), were it not for the fact that you plug the plug AROUND the way in the Nest should stick out and that the plug then sticks out almost an inch from the base. So if you don't have a junction box under the Nest (for me, only a PVC pipe comes out of the concrete ceiling with three cables in it), then it is physically impossible to get the Nest against the ceiling. The mounting ring that Nest provides is only a few millimeters thick and does not give you the space you need.
Fortunately, the people at Coolblue solve this neatly by taking the device back, via a free answering number (despite the fact that I had picked it up in a store). So even if a purchase is disappointing, you are at the right place with Coolblue and that is a very reassuring thought.

After seeing a house burn down near us, we decided to purchase this Nest Protect.
Specially chosen for the mains version because we still had an unused junction box in the living room. Connection is a breeze with the included clamps and cable. The mounting ring has several connection points, including some holes that fit exactly on the standard junction box. So you don't have to drill new holes in the ceiling.
Make sure you read the manual first and that you have everything you need ready. (such as your wifi password). If you do, the installation will be ready in 15 minutes.
Wi-Fi tips: Nest Protect only supports 802.11 b/g/n, 802.11 ac does not work.
If you have a firewall running at home that blocks traffic from inside to outside your network, you should check in advance whether these ports are open: 80 (usually open) 443 (usually open) 9543 11095 1935
At night, the Nest gives off a soft white light as you walk past which is just enough so that you don't bump anywhere (very handy)
My only regret is that I feel the Nest Protect can do more. Since it contains a motion detector, the Nest App could, for example, send a push message when someone comes in.
It is a lot of money for a smoke / carbon monoxide detector, but if you have seen someone's house burn down close by, you will soon forget that.
