Nest Labs re-released its Protect smoke detector on Monday for $99, after the device was recalled two and a half months ago.
The device was recalled in April after the company discovered an issue with the feature called Nest Wave that allows users to silence the alarm by waving their hands, according to CNET. Tony Fadell, CEO of Nest, wrote at the time that the Wave could accidently delay the alarm from going off during a real fire. A software update was issued to disable the Wave, and refunds were offered to customers.
The Protect device can also detect carbon monoxide, and connects to Wi-Fi.
Nest is selling the device for $30 less than its original price, which was $129, Fox Business reported.
Nest was bought by Google in January 2014 for $3.2 billion in cash. Despite being owned by the search giant, the company is still run by Fadell and said it will keep a separate brand identity.
The new Protect will not include the Wave. However, a company spokesperson said Nest would like to bring the feature back with the re-launched device, CNET reported.
"We're still investigating the best solution for the future," said Zoz Cuccias. She added, however, that the decision has no timeline.
The Protect is currently only available online at the Nest, Best Buy, Home Depot and Amazon websites. While the device is currently not available at Apple's online store, Cuccias said it would eventually be on sale at Apple's online and physical stores.
Nest also published a report on Monday on carbon monoxide. The report was based on data collected anonymously from users of Protect between November 2013 and May 2014, CNET reported.
"Because we're connected to Wi-Fi, we have a tone of info that hasn't been out there before," Cuccias said.
The data stated that over 1 million households in the U.S., U.K. and Canada are exposed to "high levels" of carbon monoxide each year. The report also said that since November, 0.15 percent of its users had their carbon monoxide alarms go off every month.
