Full Product Manual

NEST DETECT FEATURES
Quiet Open
When Nest Secure is set to Home and Guarding,
you can use Quiet Open to open a door or window
without the alarm going off. Press the button on the
Nest Detect that you want to use. The light ring will
turn green, and you’ll have 10 seconds to open it.
Your Detect will automatically re-arm when you
close the door or window.
You can enable or disable Quiet Open in the Nest app’s
Settings menu. Select Security then Security Levels.
Pathlight
When you walk by Nest Detect in the dark, Pathlight
turns on to help light your way. Using Pathlight may
decrease Nest Detect’s battery life, so you can change
the brightness or turn it off with the Nest app.
Pathlight is off by default. You’ll need to turn it on with
the Nest app in Nest Detect’s Settings menu.
Dog Pass
If you have a dog under 40 pounds (18 kg), you can turn
on Reduced Motion Sensitivity with the Nest app to
help prevent false alarms caused by your dog.
Tamper detection
If someone tampers with Nest Detect and removes it
from the backplate, the Nest app will send you an alert
to let you know.
Add more Nest Detects
You can have up to 20 Nest Detects (go to
nest.com/howmany) in your home to look after doors,
windows and rooms. Adding more is easy. Just use the
Nest app to scan the QR code on your new Nest Detect
to get started.
NEST TAG FEATURES
Home Entry Schedules
When you give a Nest Tag to someone you can also set
a schedule for them, so people like your dog walker or
cleaner can only come in during certain times.
Disabling Nest Tag
If you lose or misplace a Tag, you can disable it with the
Nest app in the Settings menu. You can always re-enable
your Tag later.
Add more Nest Tags
You can give Nest Tags to everyone who needs to enter
your home. Use the Nest app to scan the QR code on a
new Tag and assign it to anyone you like.
TAMPER DETECTION
Nest Guard and Nest Detect can sense if they’re being
tampered with.
In Home and Guarding, the alarm sounds when:
• The power cable is unplugged from Nest Guard’s
power port
• Nest Detect is removed from the backplate
In Away and Guarding, the alarm sounds when:
• Nest Guard is picked up or moved if motion
detection is on
• The power cable is unplugged from
Nest Guard’s power port
• Nest Detect is removed from the backplate
