QuestionHi, I bought 3 as my Google Nest Protect expired (and I have to buy 6 more in 2 months) after 10 years. Will I be able to install this using my Google Home (or Google Nest) application. Google says First Alert SC5 wired is the replacement.
Asked 9 months ago by FirstTimeBuyer.
- Answer Hi FirstTimeBuyer, thank you for your question. Yes, you will be able to connect your SC5 to the Google Home App. The SC5 must be enrolled first via the FA App and then can be linked to your Google Home App. You can then just use the GH App to operate it. If using the GH App notifications, you can disable notifications from the FA App. - Maria

QuestionIs the halo light on all the time? That would be pretty annoying if installed in a bedroom.
Asked 8 months ago by PhilippeS.
- Answer Hi PhilippeS, thank you for your question. No, the halo light on the SC5 detector is not on all the time. During normal operation, the halo LED remains off, so it won’t disturb you if the unit is installed in a bedroom. - Maria

QuestionDoes anyone know if the brightness of the halo light on this model can be changed/dimmed through the Onelink App? (this could be done with previous models, that just happened to be HomeKit compatible, versus this newer version)
Asked 9 months ago by dhwaldron.
- Answer Hi dhwaldron, the SC5 is not compatible with the Onelink app. To use the SC5 Smart Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm you must first set up the device in the First Alert app, however the halo light levels are not user-adjustable. - Maria
