I had purchased 6 of these units almost 2 years ago. They take 2 AA batteries, and are easy to setup and mount. I was up and riunning with all 6 in just under an hour with mounting.
With all that being said, you have to watch where you place these. Do NOT place them anywhere near a bathroom or where any steam can get remotely close. They WILL malfunction and beep constantly. Although the company did replace the unit right away, they are extremely sensitive.
Also - make sure you test WEEKLY like they say in the instructions. otherwise the battery will drain and will false alarm, even though Smart things shows it as 60% full. Once you test, it seems like it sends the battery reading to the Hub.
The units are loud, and work like they are supposed to, but there is more maintenance than I had originally thought. I am currently selling the house, and will look for something different for my new home. Hope this helps someone out.
EDIT: This is all wrong. I was misinformed my bad.

Curious as to people's opinions on this. Trying to get my parents to move over from an old Staples hub to a SmartThings hub seeing as Staples no longer supports their hub at all... It doesn't say specifically it works with ST, but I see people talking about how it only reports both carbon monoxide and smoke detection as a single alarm, so it does at least work. Custom handlers could probably be written to do the rest.

Yea this is the one that is listed on the smartthings website. I just added this to my amazon wish list...debating between nest ones and these. Huge price difference.

As someone using it, whats your opinion? Do you have it set up with any other devices performing IFTTT functions? Anything else you've noticed it doesn't do that you want it to do?

I'm picking up one more for the garage!

Unfortunately Wink is a dying service, and has been for quite awhile. I'd make a jump to SmartThings before you wrap any more money into a dying service...
Lame. Mine is also programmed to fill the entire house with z-wave fire suppression foam!
