Google is transforming its smart home product strategy by ending production of the Nest Protect smoke and CO alarms and the Nest x Yale smart lock. Instead, the company will form partnerships with First Alert for smoke alarms and Yale for smart locks. The new smart smoke device will integrate with Google Home and retail at $130, while the Yale Smart Lock will support the Matter protocol and retail for $170 later this summer. Existing devices will continue to function and receive updates until supplies last.
