If you aren't in a position where you can install a standalone smart smoke detector or don't want to be bothered with mounting one to a wall or ceiling, then you should check out using Alexa Guard through an Echo Dot or other Alexa-enabled smart speakers. Alexa Guard will notify you if your Alexa device hears a smoke, carbon monoxide, or other alarm go off or if it hears glass break. You can then listen to a 10-second recorded clip or drop in on your Echo device to find out what's going on. All you need to do to activate this is say "Alexa, I'm Leaving" once it's been enabled on your device. 
Unfortunately, there are limits to how far Alexa Guard will take you. Since it isn't actually connected to your smoke detectors, you won't be able to hush them from your phone in the case of a false alarm. If your electrical power goes down or your WiFi network loses signal, it won't work either. On your way out of the house, it can also be easy to forget to activate or disable it through your Alexa. However, this is by far one of the cheapest, easiest, and least invasive options that will allow you to remotely monitor the smoke alarms in your home. 

Consumer Reports

For $50 or less, the newest version of the Amazon Dot is a smart speaker at a budget price. While the third-generation Dot sounds better than its predecessors, that's not saying much. But the Dot can pull off a trick that makes its own sound quality irrelevant: It adds smart-speaker skills to any other great-sounding Bluetooth wireless speaker dad already owns.  Paired to another speaker or not, the Dot can pull off all the same tricks as an Amazon Echo, meaning it's a speaker that can actually tell dad jokes to dad. ("I used to work in an orange juice factory. But I quit because I couldn't concentrate.") That's hard to beat in a Father's Day gift.

[music] Hey guys, I'm here in the scene that smart home today with the new third-generation Amazon Echo dot and this is it. Right here? This is the refresh for 2018. Like you can see, it's still kind of a hockey puck type design, a little bit bigger than before, and that's because Amazon is promising better sound from this thing so it's got a little more oomph to it and it's also got the fabric rim around the edge. you can see on this black version here, and that's because Amazon's trying to help it better compete against the fabric body

 It's a safer buy as ever and a great start if you want to build your smart home around voice. [Music]

Amazon Echo Dot 3 review: Bigger, better, still 50 bucks

Google Assistant is just easier and more fun to talk to, which is why we recommend Google over Amazon if you're starting out with smart speakers and don't intend to go in a broad smart home direction. Google is more likely to understand what you're asking and give you good advice. While you can enhance Alexa with thousands of&nbsp;third-party skills, their syntax is considerably pickier than Google's is, making deep usage of Alexa an inherently geekier task.

Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Generation) Review

 Things to try: Echo Dot just kind of warranty information Getting to know your dot Plugging it in download the Alexa app, connect to experienced ructions there in the bottom of the box. We have ourselves a nice little power adapter here. This one is a nice big fat square 15 watt. With our we'll plug here, let me get you a guesstimation of the length of that just in case you're curious

 Alexa Turn on a reading light Alexa Turn offering light Alexa Turn off Fireplace You guys get the idea. They're very cool. Let's go ahead and see what we have here. Alexa play Lauren Dangle on Amazon Music [Music] Very nice of course I can't play too much because of copyright Alexa Volume 8 Very nice

 Alexa Hello, your device is ready for setup. Just follow the instructions in your Alexa All right? I'm gonna go ahead and do that and if I come across any issues with connecting I will let you know if this is your first echo dot or Amazon device then you will have to download the Alexa app from the Google Play, Store or iTunes store already in the Amazon Alexa app. Really, really simple to set up and I actually I didn't even have to input my Wi-Fi password because the phone that I'm connected to on the app is actually connected to my home Internet already all you have to do in the top left portion of the menu hit. add a device and it will walk you through all the steps
