I felt the same way. I never quite got understood shelling out $100 for a smoke detector when i need to buy 7 of them. It's just a smoke detector right? If i'm lucky it wont do anything for 10 years until i replace it. Why not just get a cheap one from the store.

We'll i bought one for the kitchen to try out. At some point my wife burned dinner and the alarm went off and notified my phone. It was that notification that made me realize, ah ha, i get it. This $100 purchase is giving me piece of mind. This thing is smart, and its protecting me. Not only that, i bet google put way more engineering into this then some cheap one.

Now that i have kids, i have piece of mind that nest protect is protecting my kids while they sleep. Might sound silly to some, but thats how i feel.

Yeah, the most important feature to me it's that I know exactly what they are trying to warn me about, they don't start screaming at me immediately and I know if one is going bad because the app tells me. Overall I love the experience, they are damn pricy though. If they could figure out a way to get them around $60 they would sell them like hotcakes.
