We've been telling them for years now that we want a smoke detector that's hardwired with a battery backup & Z-Wave. Apparently it's an impossibility at this point or something.
You can have a Z-Wave smoke detector as long as it's battery powered or you can have a hard wired smoke detector that doesn't have Z-Wave but you couldn't possibly fathom having both in one unit.
And for that reason, I'm out.

You Need A Fire Permit for Ring Alarm Professional Monitoring
Hi Neighbor,Thank you for adding smoke and/or carbon monoxide monitoring to your Ring Alarm.It's your responsibility to get a fire monitoring permit or registration for your Ring Alarm.
- The setup is very easy and clean
- you can setup with either SmartThings hub or Ring
- with SmartThings, you just get the notification on the phone, potentially send out phone/text notifications to others based on alarm status
- With ring, you can integrate with the overall Ring professional monitoring subscription service
- if integrated with Ring, these will send automatic notification to the Fire Department and request help. Good if it is a real issue, but if you drum up some smoke due to some cooking, then you are stuck explaining it to the fire fighter who shows up.
- In my case I have both Ring and SmartThings, but have kept these integrated with SmartThings to avoid any false dispatches.
Net-net I love the convenience and ability to manage these through a common device/interface. Plus the "battery low" device notifications are more manageable instead of having to keep everyone quite to figure out which one of the alarms is chirping 😀
I ended up taking a weekend to wire everything up just because it was such a pita.
Besides, if you live in a condo, more than likely they will require a check up every year or so.
Usually, these last about 5 years, if it's longer than that, you are in the zone to replace the device.

I have one that I use with Ring, recently started chirping and no matter what batteries I put in it, brand new, rechargeable, you name it—it starts chirping within a day—driving me nuts.

I have several of these and the AA batteries will last pretty well a year. And z-wave reports the battery level. Set up an alert at 30% power to buy batteries. Change them at 20% (yes, in theory there is still months of life left. Or a tempersture change will turn that into days of life left. Change the batteries)
Check your local code to be sure but most news reports gloss over this exemption because it is nuanced and applies to <1% of people.
monoxide and smoke alam separate for placement issues? (smoke alarm on or near the ceiling and carbon monoxide lower, on the wall)?
Or do these compensate for that somehow?

Have these integrated with Hubitat. Can see smoke, CO, battery levels individually. Have rule setup to send phone notification at 80% battery so I could replace them before it beeps in middle of night. Have other rules setup for smoke and CO events, like blasting sirens, repeated phone notifications, loud warnings through Alexa and Google Home mini's, flashing lights...etc
