Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #305
Hey there. So, here’s an interesting product for you. As you know, Alexa is showing up everywhere from, you know, obviously smart speakers, to microwaves, to cars, to even clocks. So Alexa is going to be everywhere. Well, here’s the latest product that has come out. It’s made by the company First Alert. And, if that sounds at all familiar to you, then you may recall that First Alert creates things like smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and that sort of thing.
Well, what they have done is, they have taken their technology and their expertise on such things like I said the smoke detector, the carbon monoxide alarm, and they have incorporated Alexa into that in a high-quality speaker. So what they have essentially done, is they’ve taken Alexa, and now you can have a device similar to an Echo, but it’s made by First Alert.
They have taken their technology and their expertise on such things like I said the smoke detector, the carbon monoxide alarm, and they have incorporated Alexa into that in a high-quality speaker.

And this can be installed in your ceiling and you can talk to your ceiling just like the way you would talk to an Echo device. You can ask for music, you could ask for the weather, you can ask for your news, et Cetera, but on top of that, of course, it is a smoke detector, it is a carbon monoxide detector, and it can send push notifications to your phone in case anything is detected.
So, very cool, very, very cool. If you want to check it out, you simply go to AlexainCanada.ca/Devices, and there you will see a list of all the different devices. And I’ll be sure to put a link to this on there as well.
