First Alert, Google Nest Announce Connected Life-Safety Partnership

First Alert, owned by Resideo and Google Home, announced a new life-safety collaboration. The new First Alert Smart Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm is compatible with the Nest Protect Smart Smoke & CO Alarm. Existing Nest users can add a First Alert Smart Smoke & CO Alarm in the Google Home app to extend existing coverage or replace an expiring Nest Alarm for seamless coverage.

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 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.

The alarm was designed for easy installation so that Nest Protect customers can seamlessly replace devices or extend smart coverage in the Google Home app. The First Alert Smart Smoke & CO Alarm and First Alert App experience offer broad Wi-Fi range, easy alarm testing, and a seven-day, low-battery warning to eliminate low-battery chirps.
