Insights
This First Alert-Google Nest partnership represents a strategic ecosystem play in the increasingly competitive smart home safety market. By creating interoperability between First Alert alarms and Nest Protect devices, Resideo is addressing a critical pain point for consumers: fragmented safety systems that don't communicate with each other.
The technical implementation is particularly noteworthy. The new First Alert Smart Smoke & CO Alarm offers dual-app control (through both First Alert and Google Home apps), enabling consumers to silence alarms and receive notifications through either platform. This level of integration demonstrates sophisticated API development between the two companies' systems.
For existing Nest Protect users, this partnership provides a seamless migration path as their devices reach end-of-life, potentially capturing a significant replacement market. The
The Precision Detection™ technology addresses emerging safety challenges in modern open-concept homes with synthetic materials that burn faster and hotter - a legitimate safety advancement rather than just a marketing feature. The interconnected alert system combining wired and wireless communication reflects sophisticated mesh networking capabilities that enhance both reliability and coverage.
For Resideo (REZI), this Google partnership creates multiple strategic advantages in the competitive fire safety market. First Alert gains access to Google's formidable distribution channels, including the Google Store, while creating a compelling upgrade path for the substantial installed base of Nest Protect users.
The premium
Distribution through both consumer retail and Resideo's professional channels (electrical and builder partners) creates multiple revenue streams, potentially accelerating market penetration. The pre-order availability signals confidence in production readiness.
This strategic move allows Resideo to leverage its established First Alert brand equity (noted as "America's most trusted fire-safety brand" in their survey) while modernizing its product portfolio with sophisticated connectivity features. The partnership effectively positions Resideo to capitalize on the growing trend of whole-home safety integration while defending against tech giants' encroachment into traditional safety markets.

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.
"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 new First Alert alarm was designed for easy installation so that Nest Protect customers can seamlessly replace their devices or extend their smart coverage in the Google Home app. More information about the First Alert and Google Nest collaboration is available on the Google Nest Community blog.
New First Alert Smart Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm
The smart, two-in-one alarm offers Precision DetectionTM advanced sensing technology to provide early warning and detection. The technology addresses modern home construction and design trends, as fires burn hotter and faster in homes built with more open spaces and are furnished with lighter, synthetic materials.
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. It also provides:
- Critical Safety Alerts. Voice alerts describe the type and location of the emergency within the home and mobile alerts provide awareness when away from the home.
- Heads-up Early Warning. Voice and app alerts provide an early indicator to an emerging smoke or CO event before it becomes an emergency, and the alarm can be silenced via the First Alert or Google Home apps.
- Interconnected System. The alarm's wired and wireless interconnectivity ensures that when one alarm sounds, all compatible alarms will sound to notify the home of the smoke or CO emergency. This exclusive synchronized alert system provides comprehensive coverage with compatible alarms, and enables a non-connected First Alert smoke or CO alarm to signal with the First Alert app.
"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
