Step 4: CHOOSE your smoke detector: The app will then prompt you to choose the location of the smoke detector you want to pair with your phone.

Step 6: CONNECT to Wi-Fi: The app will then guide you through the process of connecting your smoke detector to your Wi-Fi network.Complete the pairing process: Once your smoke detector is connected to your Wi-Fi network, the app will complete the pairing process and add your smoke detector to your Nest account.
Step 7: TEST your smoke detector: After you have successfully paired your smoke detector with your phone, it's a good idea to test it to make sure it's working correctly. You can do this by pressing the button on the smoke detector, which will trigger a test alarm.
