When I was a kid, I was afraid of monsters in the dark. As an adult, I'm afraid of my apartment burning down when I go on vacation. $99 can't buy you protection from either, but it can get you greater peace of mind, in the form of the Leeo Smart Alert Nightlight. It's a connected nightlight with soothing, customizable colors to light your way at night. And when you're not at home, it listens for potential smoke or carbon monoxide alarms, ready to send you a notification if one happens to go off. It's not nearly as advanced as the Nest Protect, but it's a good start for Leeo, and potentially worth it if you're in already in the market for a nightlight.

Design and Setup

The Smart Alert definitely looks a lot cooler than your average nightlight. Shaped like the wide end of a cone, the front half of the device is made of matte white plastic, while the back where the light comes from looks milky and translucent. When it's plugged in, all you see is Leeo's logo on the front, beneath a series of holes for the microphone. The device measures 3.4 inches around, and including the prongs, 1.9 inches deep. Although it might be possible to fit a (very) slim plug in an outlet below the Nightlight, I wasn't able to find any small enough for the job, so keep in mind that this will likely take up two outlets' worth of space.
