TL;DR

The latest version of HomePod and HomePod mini now have a Sound Recognition feature that can detect activated smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, sending a notification to an iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch. The feature can be set up using the Home app on an Apple device and can send a video along with the alert if a camera is incorporated in the HomeKit setup. The alert is sent from device to device, with no involvement of Apple's cloud servers.
