First Alert’s new smart smoke alarm is meant to be a Google Nest Protect replacement
1 min read
Summary
After Google decided to discontinue its Nest Protect smart smoke alarm, it has partnered with life safety manufacturer First Alert on its own smart smoke and carbon monoxide alarm.
The First Alert alarm will work with the current Nest Protect alarm and will also be compatible with the First Alert and Google Home apps, but not with any other smart home platforms.
It will feature automatic safety checkups and a “Heads-up Early Warning” function that sends voice and app alerts before an alarm sounds.
It will also be able to silence alarms via the First Alert and Google Home apps, much like the Nest Protect.
The new alarms will cost $129.99 and will be available later in the year. They can be preordered now.
