Smoke alarms will warn you of danger, but not if you aren’t home to hear them. (They’re also typically ugly, a pain to shush, and shriek whenever someone burns toast.) Smart smoke alarms are the cure for those shortcomings, and after testing two new combo smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, along with our current pick the Google Nest Protect, we continue to recommend the Nest Protect as the only one worth buying. It sends speedy alerts of smoke or carbon monoxide to your phone and has a wonderful “heads-up” voice warning that lets you mute the siren before it goes off (in the event of a false alarm). It’s simple to mute via a button or the mobile app, and, well, it’s nice looking. The Protect also constantly self-tests to ensure its sensors are accurate and has a motion-activated path light.
