Hidden gems — the “I didn’t know that existed” shelf

Google Nest Protect (smoke + CO)

Google Nest Protect (smoke + CO) — ~$119 each (a typical home needs 6–8).

The gem of gems. A normal alarm tells a blind person exactly one thing: something, somewhere, is wrong. Nest Protect speaks, in a calm human voice, before the alarm — “Heads up, there’s smoke in the kitchen” — naming the danger and the room, with every unit in the house announcing together. False alarms are silenced from your phone or with a wave of the hand (no climbing on a chair to reach a ceiling button), it self-tests, and there is no 3 a.m. low-battery chirp. No HomeKit. This is the product this section exists to surface.
