A smart smoke and carbon monoxide alarm is a connected device that alerts you to fire or carbon monoxide (CO) dangers via mobile alerts, voice alerts from the alarm, and in-app notifications—home or away. As smart home technology becomes more common, traditional fire and CO alarms are evolving to provide real-time updates, mobile alerts, and enhanced safety features.

First Alert now offers smart smoke and carbon monoxide detection that replaces Google’s Nest Protect*. Add smart fire safety alerts to your home with the First Alert SC5 Smart Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm.

Smart Smoke & CO Alarm Features

Smart smoke and carbon monoxide detectors offer added safety features compared to traditional fire and CO alarms.

Mobile Fire & CO Alerts:

In the event of a fire or CO emergency, receive email and mobile alerts to your phone. In-app notification will also alert you and conveniently prompt you to call 9-1-1. If you are away from home and call emergency services from the app, it will connect you to the 911 dispatch where your home and alarm is located to help provide a quick response.

Voice Alerts with Heads-up Warning:

Opt-in for Heads-Up Warning to be alerted to rising smoke or CO levels. If rising smoke or CO levels are detected, the alarm will provide a voice warning letting you know the type and location of the danger, mobile alert and in-app notification before alarm sounds.

Streamlined Maintenance Features:

Connect with the First Alert app to check the alarm's online status, test alarm's function to ensure it is working properly, and be notified to a low battery or alarm’s end-of-life for streamlined replacements.

Smart Interconnect:

Create a smart and connected fire and CO safety system in your home by interconnecting the SC5 with compatible alarms. When one alarm sounds, they all sound with smart alerts. Works with and replaces Google Nest Protect, as well as select First Alert alarm models.

Stay informed about your home’s fire safety, there or away, with smart smoke and carbon monoxide detection from First Alert.
