Heiman Smart Carbon Monoxide Alarm

Quick verdict

Carbon monoxide alarms have been slow to get the smart home treatment, and Heiman is among the first to bring one to market with Matter over Thread. It works with Home Assistant, Apple Home, Google Home, and Alexa, all locally. The built-in alarm sounds regardless of your network status. If you have been waiting for a CO alarm that integrates into your smart home without cloud dependency, this is one of the first viable options.

Standout: Among the first Matter over Thread carbon monoxide alarms available, with cross-platform smart home support.
