Description

Phare C1 is a smoke alarm that sounds for actual emergencies and nothing else. Its multi-sensor array spots fire and CO early and accurately, reduces false alarms, and is backed by detection algorithms that learn and improve to make your home even safer over time. It keeps much-loved features from the Nest Protect (RIP) like early warnings, a night light, and in-app alerts, and adds new ones like air quality monitoring and intruder detection.

Could you build this?

No This is a physical IoT hardware smoke and carbon monoxide detector requiring multi-sensor engineering, UL/EN safety certifications, and embedded firmware.

What it would actually take: Requires custom hardware PCB design, photoelectric and electrochemical sensor arrays, ultra-low-power microcontrollers, and embedded signal processing algorithms. It also mandates rigorous regulatory life-safety compliance testing (such as UL 217 / UL 2034 certification) that cannot be substituted by software coding.
