Tough crowd. A 2-pack for $200 (same price as this deal) at Costco got a +3 TU in April. Costco still has it at this price, but if you need an odd number of them, you're stuck.

Will google price match dell? I've got a google gift card but it's not listed as one of the sites.

FYI, these will eventually expire and turn into paperweights, I have 10 total and all are expiring one by one depending on manufacturing date. I plan on going back to basic smoke/ carbon monoxide detectors. Out of all my "smart home" gadgets, spending over $1,000 on these were my biggest regret

All CO and smoke alarms have a shelf life of 10 years. (Half-life of the radioactive isotope inside). While I understand that it's frustrating that smoke/CO detectors are not "buy-it-for-life", I find the functionalities of this very useful (daily self checks multiple times a day, monthly alarm tests with prior notifications, WiFi notifications when you're away from home, smart enough to distinguish between steam and smoke, ambient light) for essentially $10 per year with no subscription ($99 upfront cost divided by 10 years).

If multiple detectors are needed (I need 10), the costs can quickly add up. I pick and choose which ones would be the smart/basic. (For example, center of each floor, kitchen, hallway outside bedrooms are smart detectors; Inside bedrooms get basic). Using that method, I would need 3 instead of all 10. Just a thought

TL;dr
Get one recently manufactured (same year preferably)
Pick and chose strategically which ones you want to be smart

I did something similar, I have 3 nest detectors and the rest are first alert zwave (so more like $30 each for those). I put the nest in areas where the light is helpful, zwave in all of the bedrooms and some overlap. Not sure if this actually meets the new building code though, as I think they are required to be hard wired and interconnected (or battery powered with wireless interconnection?).

I just bought one of these and also purchased a Starling Hub ($99) that I will use along with Starling's 24/7 UL approved fire/smoke/CO monitoring for $7.99/mo to satisfy home insurance policy req't for 3rd party fire/smoke monitoring. Fingers crossed but, from what I've read the Starling Hub is nice way to get Homelink and Google Nest to talk nice and they offer monitoring right from their App. My problem needed a smart solution and this appears be a good option for me.
