Quiet Open
When the security level 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. For more
information, see page 9.
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.
