Earlier this year, Google announced it was discontinuing the Nest Protect. The intended smoke and carbon monoxide alarm replacement from First Alert is now listed on the US and Canadian Google Store.
Going to the Google Store’s “Smart Home” landing page features an updated “Smoke & CO alarm” entry. Clicking takes you to a listing for the First Alert SC5 Smart Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm. You can also get there when searching “Nest Protect.”
However, you cannot buy it from the Google Store (and take advantage of the Google One perk). Instead, there’s just a link to Find Retailers for the Battery and Wired versions. (At the moment, both take you to the First Alert website.)
The first feature highlighted on the listing is how it “Works with Google Nest Protect” and can “seamlessly integrate with existing Google Nest Protects in the Google Home app to expand your safety ecosystem or replace expiring Nest Protects.” Specifically, it is “designed to work with your existing Nest Protect base plate,” though there’s a new mounting plate in the box.
- Works with the First Alert and Google Home apps: “Check, silence, or remotely test your alarm in the First Alert or Google Home app.”
- Get smart smoke & CO alerts: “Connect with the First Alert or Google Home app to receive emergency or heads up early warning alerts on your phone if smoke or CO are detected.”
- Interconnect with compatible alarms summary: “Create a smart and connected fire and CO safety system in your home. When one alarm sounds, they all sound. Works with select First Alert/BRK alarms and Google Nest Protect.”
With this listing, Google looks to have also run out of existing Nest Protect inventory, which it was selling at a discount since March.
Meanwhile, Google today is still selling the Nest x Yale Lock, though half the colors are out of stock. The at other retailers.
