Monitor Wired Smoke Detectors

[docwisdom (Brian)]

I have posted some code using the SM120X and the MIMOlite to sense and trigger wired smoke detectors.

MIMOlite sensor as Smoke Detector device

So I gave the SM120X / RS100HC config a try. It does physically work, but I am not happy with the implementation. For one it is a pain having that surface mount device wired in to the junction box of the smoke detector. Also the battery idea just doesn’t work well with me. I have placed the RS100HC on another door in the house and bought the MIMOlite. One thing I think will be really cool about the MIMOlite is that I can wire it up with the SM120X as a “pull alarm” and be able to set off the smoke detectors through smart things. I think it could be cool as a whole house intrusion alarm versus getting a FortrezZ. The MIMOlite will also power off of the 9v constant coming from the SM120X
