A:AnswerHi 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
A:AnswerHi 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
A:AnswerHi Tom, thank you for reaching out!. Our detector is not recommended for use in garages or areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F or hotter than 100˚F. For more detail, you can look at the section labeled "Where not to install this alarm" on the first page of your installation manual or reach out to our support team at 800-323-9005. We are always happy to help! — Charlie
A:AnswerHi, thank you for your question! In order to transition from your current FA detector to the SC5 it'd be necessary to change the mounting bracket. That being said, both the SC5 and the First Alert app should work on any 2.4ghz or 5ghz Wi-Fi router commonly sold on the market. If you need assistance getting started, you can reach our support team at 800-323-9005. We look forward to hearing from you! - Maria
A:AnswerHi Sobs, thank you for your question. Yes, the SC5 is the replacement for the Nest Protect model 06A (battery powered) and 06C (hardwired AC power models). Order the correct SC5 for your wiring. For US models: SMCO600NV-AC for AC power and SMCO600NV for battery powered. - Maria
A:AnswerHi 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
