"The Nest Protect has been one of our most beloved devices," said Anish Kattukaran, chief product officer at Google Home & Nest, "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."

Life safety manufacturer First Alert launched a new line of smart smoke and carbon monoxide alarms this week that will work with Google Home. Following Google’s decision to discontinue its Nest Protect smart smoke alarm, the company has announced it’s partnering with First Alert on the First Alert Smart Smoke & Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm.

Google has discontinued producing the second-generation Nest Protect connected smoke detector. Existing Nest Protect units will continue to receive software and security updates. Google recommends the SC5 Smart Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm from First Alert as a replacement for Nest Protect.
