My old smoke detectors are due for replacement, and I’m thinking of getting smart ones which would work with ST hub. Following NFPA’s recommendations ( http://www.nfpa.org/safety-information/for-consumers/fire-and-safety-equipment/smoke-alarms/installing-and-maintaining-smoke-alarms ), I need 9-10 sm…

[image] michaelahess: I run the test, it says it found the smoke detector, then I assume gives up. I can’t make the First Alert do one or the other and not sure how to fake it with CO. :slight_smile: There’s a FAQ for that :wink: [image] How to Test a Carbon Monoxide Detecto…

My setup: Each room has the govt required linked smoke detector, then I put in a Zcombo in the laundry room and another in the garage (where there were no detectors). I also have two carbon monoxide detectors, one upstairs and another downstairs. Then two Leeo’s, one upstairs and another downstai…

Being new to ST’s one of the first items I wanted to address was security and safety. I have a pre-wired smoke/CO2 detectors that are interconnected. Is there a solution to replace one so that if any go off I get a notification?

Nest has a detector that is hard wired and interconnected with more of it’s own kind. I’m not sure you could install it in concert with your other existing detectors while still preserving the interconnection or not.

PhilB. Thanks for the reply. I know Nest and others do within their own network, but want to replace all of my detectors. It would be nice to just replace one and get an alert. When I’m away I don’t care which alarm goes off, but that any of them have gone off.

You could try a Leeo. [image] Leeo Smart Alert Smoke/CO - $29.15 Deals no ST integration I’m aware of but appears to be a decent deal at $29.15

ErnieG, I may in the meantime, but I’d prefer to have something hardwired vs relying on hearing a noise. Its a trust thing. Thanks!

The question of interconnect with a mix of smart and dumb detectors came up in a thread about Halo a while back. If I remember the gist of the discussion, it was that pretty much any smoke detector manufacturer will guarantee that their interconnect function will work with devices of their own bran…

Mark, Thanks! This is what I wanted to hear. My home is currently wired with First Alert SC07CN. It sounds like I can replace one with a CO501CN-3ST and be able to push that to ST. Only way to find out is to try I guess. Thanks!

Hmm, not sure if I’m understanding what you’re trying to do now. [image] mikepcarney: My home is currently wired with First Alert SC07CN That’s a battery powered smoke/CO detector. It has no interconnect function, but it can be set to announce the location of the alarm that is going off (fro…
