I don&#x27;t really understand the recall. As the quote below states, the problem can be solved via an update. I would wager a guess that the recall is to fix devices that people do not connect to Wifi&#x2F;internet access (although this has to be a very tiny amount of purchases...who buys a Nest and doesn&#x27;t connect it to the interwebs).<p>&gt; &quot;According to the CPSC, the issue can be repaired with an automatic update when the device is connected to a wireless network and linked to a Nest account.&quot;<p>Further, they &quot;fixed&quot; this issue by disabling Nest Wave. Now you have to hit the button to disable an alarm, just like any existing smoke detector.
