Hands On With First Alert S Safe Sound Homekit Smoke Alarm Speaker At Ces 2018 Video

First Alert, known best for its home safety devices, has been a relatively early adopter of support for new Apple protocols. The company previously introduced the Onelink Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detector with support for HomeKit, and this year at CES 2018 is showing off a new product that combines the safety features of a smart smoke detector with the home convenience of an AirPlay 2 speaker.

We stopped at First Alert’s booth to see (and hear) the new accessory in person.

Even in the crowded halls of CES, the speaker was able to cut through the noise and be heard, an impressive feat for a device so small. The Safe & Sound probably won’t replace your home stereo system, but it’s a nice compliment to any room. Thanks to AirPlay 2, you’ll be able to use multiple Safe & Sound devices together with multi-room audio.

Check out our first look at the new Safe & Sound below. The device will retail for $249.99. You can keep up with all of the news out of Las Vegas with our CES 2018 Guide.
