Leeo Smart Alertby Leeo
PROS
- The Leeo Smart Alert notifies you via smartphone when a legacy smoke or CO2 alarm sounds, which is cheaper than installing a new smart alarm system.
- You listen to recordings of the alarms on your phone, so you can identify false alarms.
- The Smart Alert doubles as a nightlight, temperature and humidity sensor, and it supports IFTTT customization.
CONS
- There's no backup battery, so if your electrical system fails, you receive no smartphone notifications.
- The Smart Alert blocks the second outlet in a typical wall wart--a pass-through would have been nice.
- Reviewers reported occasional false alarms.

I’ll tell you this, I feel a whole lot better knowing it’s in my home than if I just had a smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm.

The device's sensor picks up the frequency of the alarm well, but it isn't great at recording sound. I thought the 5-second playback provided by the system would be useful. In practice, unfortunately, it really wasn't.

Despite the significant level of potential pitfalls to delivering your emergency notifications, the chance that you, or your neighbors could be alerted to a smoke alarm early enough to do something about it is a pretty nice idea.

Once I had modern detectors installed, it is able to alert me on my iPhone when it senses something as minor as an uncomfortable temperature or humidity level or as severe as a smoke or CO detector sounding.

The SmartAlert Night Light from Leeo is a smart device with an odd combination of features. It isn't a smoke alarm itself, but it acts as a smoke alarm monitoring system (thanks to an onboard microphone), a humidity and temperature sensor, and a 16-million-color LED night light to boot.

The company conservatively estimates that one Leeo device can cover about 75 feet, and encourages one unit per floor. My home isn’t very large, and the Leeo had no trouble detecting my three smoke detectors.
