First Alert, the fire-safety brand owned by Resideo, and Google Home recently announced a new life-safety collaboration with its new First Alert Smart Smoke & Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm. The First Alert Smart, two-in-one alarm is compatible with the Nest Protect Smart Smoke & CO Alarm, and existing Nest users can add a First Alert Smart Smoke & CO Alarm in the Google Home app to extend their existing coverage or replace an expiring Nest Alarm for seamless coverage.
“At Google Home, we’re deeply committed to building a platform that makes it easy to set up, control, and automate all of your smart home devices in one place,” said Anish Kattukaran, Chief Product Officer at Google Home & Nest. “The Nest Protect has been one of our most beloved devices, and we are excited to be partnering with established industry leaders like First Alert so users can manage more of their safety devices together, for a safer and more protected home.”
The First Alert smart, two-in-one alarm can connect with Nest Protect Smoke & CO Alarms, and if one alarm sounds, all connected and compatible alarms will alert families to the danger, whether at home or away. The new First Alert smart alarm also offers essential safety checkups, critical safety alerts, and the ability to silence alarms within both the First Alert and Google Home apps.
“First Alert branded products have been trusted to protect homes for 65 years, and partnering with the well-known Google Nest brand will provide an essential solution to help save lives,” said Pat Tessier, Vice President of Product Development for First Alert and Honeywell Home solutions at Resideo. “A trusted life-safety ecosystem is a necessity, and our new First Alert Smart Smoke & CO Alarm with its dual-app experience and interconnected system can help homeowners be alerted to a fire or CO emergency whether at home or away.”
The First Alert Smart Smoke & CO Alarm will be available in hardwire or battery-powered options in the coming months through U.S. and Canadian retailers, on the Google Store and FirstAlert.com for $129.99 (projected U.S. MSRP), and through Resideo’s professional distribution partners, including the electrical channel and builder partners.
Customers can pre-order the First Alert Smart Smoke & CO Alarm now at FirstAlert.com.
