Interesting idea about a thermal sensor instead of an "occluding particles in the air" sensor.Partially due to this topic I have done a little bit of looking around about garage smoke detectors. Apparently they are a pretty big no-no, and it makes sense. Most garages would trip a CO sensor pretty regularly, and are too dusty, so they would likely have nuisance trips for smoke frequently as well.
It sure seems like with the proliferation of techy dorks like myself buying BEVs, there should be a decent market for a company like Nest to make a Nest Protect garage fire detector using a heat rate of rise sensor. I love our other Nest Protects around the house, and the peace of mind of having the correct style of sensor installed in the garage would be huge.
