I'm new to Almond and to HA. I pre-ordered the Almond 3 and a Nest Protect on Amazon back in August. Obviously, the Nest Protect arrived much sooner, and I put it into service with my pre-existing network immediately.
My Almond 3 arrived yesterday, and I set it up as a range extender just temporarily to function test and get a feel for it. It connects to the internet like it should, and accepts connections from computers, media devices, and smartphones/tablets just fine. I reset the Nest Protect, and connected it to the Almond 3. It connects to the Nest account and passes all it's system tests. The Almond 3 doesn't register it as being connected, neither on the screen UI or on the app.
