Recall of Nest Smoke/CO combo alarms due to arm wave silence.

Nest Labs is recalling their Smoke/CO Alarms due to a failure to sound an alert. \

These alarms can be controlled by a computer or a smartphone using a wireless network. The issue is the “Nest Wave” function. Turns out you may accidently silence the detector by waving your arms. This is sort of the “clap on- clap off” feature of these device.

Homeowners who have these devices already connected should confirm the update to disable this function has been installed at the "Nest Sense" area of their account. You should also ensure the button for "Nest Wave" is set to off and grayed out.

About 440 thousand of these have been sold at Best Buy, Home Depot and other retailers nationwide, and online at nest.com, amazon.com, bestbuy.com and homedepot.com from November 15, 2013 to April 3, 2014 for about $130.
