How to make your Google/Nest smart speakers, displays, and cameras listen for suspicious sounds

Google just relaunched its Nest Aware home security plans , complete with a simplified pricing structure and a host of new features. Chief among them: the ability for Google smart displays and speakers to alert you if they hear something suspicious.
Users who pony up $6 a month ($60 if paid annually) for the standard Nest Aware plan will be able to set their Google Home and Nest devices to detect the sound of breaking glass and smoke alarms. The subscription covers all the Nest devices in your home and includes 30 days of cloud storage for event recordings made by Nest security cameras (“events” are recordings triggered by motion or sound).
