Learn about Safety Checkup

Safety Checkup is a way to verify that Google Nest Protect’s sensors, power, Wi-Fi connection, speaker, horn, and light ring are working. You can run a Safety Checkup with the Nest app or Google Home app for a 2nd generation Nest Protect, or press the Nest button on any Nest Protect.

The National Fire Protection Association and other fire safety experts recommend that you manually test your Nest Protect at least once a month. Safety Checkup helps you easily run a test to confirm that all your Nest Protects are working properly. It will also help you and your family become familiar with Nest Protect's sounds and lights.

Nest Protect also monitors itself automatically, with Self Test and Sound Check. That way, you know it's working in between each month's Safety Checkup.

Learn how Nest Protect let's you know it's working.

How to start a Safety Checkup

Before you run a Safety Checkup test:

  • Make sure all of your Nest Protects are installed properly on the ceiling or wall.
  • Limit other sources of noise in the house, like TVs, laptops, and stereos. These can interfere with the test.
