1. An apparatus comprising:

  • a sound sensor;

    a temperature sensor;

    a communication circuit; and

    a microcontroller coupled to the sound sensor, the temperature sensor, and the communication circuit, wherein the microcontroller is configured to;

    responsive to the sound sensor detecting an audible alarm emitted from an environmental detector that is separate from the apparatus, determine whether an output from the temperature sensor exceeds a threshold value; and

    responsive to both the sound sensor detecting the audible alarm and the output from the temperature sensor exceeding a threshold value, cause the communication circuit to transmit an alert to a recipient.
