Nest protect from B&Q

I was only saying the other day that it’d be really good if a smoke alarm could let you know by phone there was a problem.
The Nest Protect system allows you to get a message on your smartphone or tablet if the smoke or CO alarm goes off.

Prepare for an emergency with the ‘What to do’ feature – enter an emergency contact and when something goes wrong you’ve got a plan. Nest Protect will also notify you long before its batteries get that low so you can replace them.

Nest Protect constantly monitors the air and lets you know you’re safe.
It tells you where the fire is and what to do.
Hush false alarms with a wave of your hand.
Get messages to your mobile when there’s an emergency or if the batteries need changing.

B and Q has a wired and a battery version.
