Netatmo is known for its smart home gear that includes weather monitoring, security and other categories. However, its latest releases looks to take on Nest with the HomeKit-enabled Smart Smoke Alarm. A ten-year battery and smartphone connectivity highlights the list of features. The 85-decibel alarm can be silenced with its Hush function or via the smartphone app. HomeKit compatibility is a standout feature here versus the Nest Protect, allowing this unit to communicate with other brands in Apple’s ecosystem.

In addition to the Smart Smoke Alarm, Netatmo is also introducing a new Indoor Security Siren that is designed to work in tandem with its other products. It will ring out at 110-decibels, which should scare off just about any unwelcome intruder. Users will receive a notification of movement via the smartphone app which also can trigger the alarm at any time. Netatmo has yet to release final pricing on either of its newest products that are slated to be released during the second half of this year.

It doesn’t matter how loud a powerful 85dB alarm is when you’re away – how will you hear it? The Netatmo Smart Smoke Alarm eliminates this worry by providing smoke alert notifications in real-time, whenever the alarm is set off, straight to you and your family’s smartphones. The Netatmo Smart Smoke Alarm is equipped with a unique 10-year battery meaning you’re protected and secure right up to the recommended 10-year alarm replacement deadline. With a battery that won’t let you or your home down, the Netatmo Smart Smoke Alarm keeps you protected for the full lifetime of the product.
