- Hey guys, Andru Edwards here
editor-in-chief of GearLive.com
and in today's edition of Bleeding Edge TV
I'm gonna give you a look at how to set up your Nest Protect
in order to get it ready for installation.
We already gave you a look at what's in the box in our, uh,
Nest Protect unboxing.
In this video I'll show you
how to get it ready for installation.
In the following video I'm gonna show you how to get the
Nest Protect Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector installed
um, on your ceiling or wall or wherever it is you wanna
do that.
Before we get started I just wanna thank all of our
Patrons out there for helping make the show happen,
check us out at patreon.com/andru where you can join in.
We've got a lot of cool prizes, cool perks, cool giveaways.
If you wanna join us over there again it's
patreon.com/andru.
Now, like I said, we're gonna get the Nest Protect set up
and ready to be installed.
Stay tuned.
Alright, so we're ready to install our Nest Protect.
So we're gonna go into our Nest App
and we're gonna say we're gonna add a Nest Protect in.
You'll need your Wifi network's password, continue.
And here we're gonna grab the QR code
So you can press a button to scan it or you can type it in.
It'll be there on the back of the Nest so we'll just
go ahead and grab that QR code.
And success, so now it says to pull out the blue tab
and choose your language?
And the Nest Protect's ring will glow blue
when it's ready to connect.
That's the blue tab there.
There we go.
- [Narrator] Hi from Nest.
Press the button now for English.
- [Narrator] English.
- [Narrator] Ready.
- Press to test.
This is only a test.
The alarm will sound.
The alarm is loud.
The test starts in 10 seconds.
Press or wave to cancel.
10, 9, 8,
- Watch out - 7,
6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
This is only a test.
Testing smoke.
Testing carbon monoxide.
Finishing up, just a moment.
The test is finished, everything's okay.
- There it is, so we'll continue, now on the phone,
we're gonna connect to Nest Wifi.
There's the network we're looking for NEST-0F82 in my case.
So there we are. NEST-0F82. Head back over to the Nest App.
Here we're connecting.
Now it wants our home Wifi.
Put your password in.
Now it's setting up the Nest with the home Wifi.
It's testing it now.
There we go, now it wants to know where it's gonna be.
I'm gonna call this one "dining room".
Here it's asking if we wanna use something called Pathlight
which is where Nest will turn it's light on
when it senses you walk by if it's dark.
To kinda light your path.
So I'll leave that on, I'll say yes.
And now it's adding the Nest Protect to my Nest account.
- [Narrator] Connected to the internet.
- [Narrator] And we are done.
This one is ready to be installed on a wall or ceiling.
If you have more nests, nest protects,
that you'd like to install in your home, this is where you'd
add another one, if you'd like to do that.
We do have another one here, actually, we have a, uh
a black model as well.
But our next step is actually gonna be showing you
how to get this thing installed in your home.
So I'll hit done, and we'll move onto installation.
