July 3, 20214 yr So, I have a google nest mesh system, and also have a few alexa devices. I realize that the google nest does the same things as alexa, but we had the alexas before getting the nest mesh system, so we have both. Anyway, I have a detached garage that has a strong wifi system. We just had a family member that had an outbuilding burn, a complete loss, and nobody knew about the fire until it was too late. So, today I'm thinking about that detached garage. If I put a smoke detector in it, chances are we wouldn't hear it at night. I'm looking for a smart smoke detector for the detached garage, that would alert me to a fire via alexa or google assistant. Which way should I go?
July 4, 20214 yr I think about this once per year when I consider what I pay for a conventional alarm system monitoring. We are Google home dedicated, but even with that bias, Nest Protect looks pretty good.
