What sensors does Nest Protect use for smoke and carbon monoxide?

Nest Protect uses a split-spectrum photoelectric smoke sensor and an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor. It gives spoken alerts such as the room name, which is different from a basic beeping alarm.

Does Nest Protect work without a Nest Aware subscription?
