Like all smoke detectors, the Nest Protect comes with an expiration date. You&#8217;re supposed to swap them out every 10 years, so some Nest users are already there. You will have to hurry if you want a new Protect. While they&#8217;re in stock for the moment, Google won&#8217;t manufacture any more. It&#8217;s on sale for $119 on the Google Store for the time being.<\/p>\n<p><img width=\"1000\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/nestxyale.jpg\" class=\"fullwidth full\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/nestxyale.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/nestxyale-640x436.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/nestxyale-768x524.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/nestxyale-980x668.jpg 980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><br \/>\n      The Nest x Yale lock.<br \/>\n        Credit:<br \/>\n          Google<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, Google is done with the Nest x Yale smart lock, which it launched in 2018 to complement the Nest Secure home security system.
