Protect History

After your Nest Protect smoke and CO alarm have been connected to Wi-Fi and added to your account in the app, you can check Protect History events.

Main view

Nest app

1. Open the Nest app .
2. Tap your Protect.
3. Tap See History to show events for the last 10 days.

Day view

• Tap any day to show the times when that day’s events occurred.
• Events will be marked with an icon. Multiple events that happen close to each other may be combined under one icon.
• Tap an event icon to reveal more information.

Home app

1. Open the Home app .
2. Tap Activity . You’ll get a list of home events, starting with the most recent.
3. You can filter by Devices, Events, or Date to check specific types of events you want.

Each day will have a color-coded bar that shows you the highest priority event of the day. For instance, if there was a low battery notice on the same day as a smoke Emergency Alarm, the summary would highlight the Emergency Alarm.

• Green: Everything was OK.
• Yellow: There was a Heads-Up alert of some kind: smoke or CO detected, low battery, a power outage, sensor issue, etc.
• Red: There was an Emergency Alarm.
• Gray: There is no data for that time period, usually because of a Wi-Fi or Internet connection issue. Troubleshoot Protect’s Wi-Fi connection and retry downloading the data.

Note: Nest Protects update their history once a day. If there's missing information, you may need to wait for it to update. It can take up to 48 hours for the updated information to become available in the app.
