If you have Alexa Dots, you can have it pick up the alarm noise and alert you when it goes off, it's called Guard on the Alexa App.
I wish this were hard-wired with battery backup instead of exclusively battery powered.
First alert really has their finger on the pulse of what the consumer wants. /Sarcasm

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.

A carbon monoxide alarm on the ceiling is useless. A smoke alarm near the floor is useless. Either way you've already suffocated before the alarm sounds. This is a combo that should never be.

That is false, carbon monoxide mixes in a room. It does not settle, here is from the EPA about placement.

Because carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and also because it may be found with warm, rising air, detectors should be placed on a wall about 5 feet above the floor. The detector may be placed on the ceiling. Do not place the detector right next to or over a fireplace or flame-producing appliance.

Obligatory, "I've had mine for a couple of years, change the batteries once a year, and no problems"

Next IMO?

Probably because you're not using cheap batteries. Mine easily go a year using rechargable batteries.

Thanks OP! The one I already bought is working great with Smarthings - simple, reliable, inexpensive, no false alarms and does the job. It is SO much simpler and easier to add than all of these Wifi devices with their own apps and all that and I DON'T have to deal with one more crappy, insecure time-wasting app.

I see people complaining that these aren't hardwired, but I figure I have:

- Hardwired smokes with ionization sensors (great for small particles, flaming fires, fast combustion) - and no reliance on smart tech

- Z-Wave detectors with photoelectric sensors (great for large particles, smoldering fires, slow combustion)

So I'm getting redundancy and extra sensitivity to different types of fires. I can also add that Kidde relay and sensor or the ecolink firefiighter module to get alerts from my hardwired system too.

The CO monitoring is just a bonus, and as a previous poster mentioned CO mixes quickly through the air just like any gas with a similar molecular weight to O2 and N2.

I finally decided to replace all my hard wired detectors and ended up just getting basic smoke alarms.
7 of these total for $70.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&psc=1

I want to add CO alarms and add a smoke alarm in garage too. Wish I had picked up these rather than having to run wires but figure if alarm goes off in garage it would be best to have all alarms go off in house which AFAIK these do not do that. And my phone is not going to wake me up so thinking just have to figure out how to add more hardwired alarms.

Getting notifications while not home is something I would like to figure out. I have no z-wave anything.
