How to make your HomePod alert you when your smoke alarms go off
If a smoke alarm sounds and no one is around to hear it, how effective is it? Sound Recognition, which is a brand new feature on all
, can help. Sound Recognition will send an alert to your phone when the speaker hears a smoke or CO alarm. You can then check in through the Home app and hear what’s going on wherever you are.This valuable safety feature is free and easy to enable. If you already own one or more HomePods, it’s a cheaper option than investing in smart smoke alarms, which will also send alerts when they go off but regularly cost three to four times more than non-connected alarms.
When an alarm is heard, a critical alert notification will appear on any iPad, iPhone, or Apple Watch associated with that Apple Home. Clicking that alert lets you check in and hear what’s happening in your home and talk to whoever is there. Siri will announce on the HomePod that someone is listening. If you have a HomeKit-enabled camera in the same room as the HomePod, you will also see a live view from that camera.
According to Apple, all audio analysis happens on the speaker itself; nothing is sent to the cloud. And when you drop in on the speaker, the audio is end-to-end encrypted.How to turn on smoke and CO alarm monitoring on your HomePod
