A smart smoke detector system consists of four components namely sensors, processing unit, communication system, and alarm system. The sensors monitor the air in environment and detect for smoke particles which are prone to cause hazardous situation. The information obtained by these sensors is then analyzed and checked for any mishap that might take place in a period of time. This information is sent to user’s device such as smartphone or tablet through wireless connections using communication platform such as Wi Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and Z Wave, among others. In case of fire or smoke, the alarm in the detector triggers and notifications are sent to all the connected devices. With the advent of artificial intelligence and internet of things IoT in the development of smart devices, the market for smart smoke detector has become lucrative for manufacturers to integrate these technologies in smoke detectors, encouraging them develop new products in smoke detector.

Let me first say I have had my fair share of frustrations and setups with DIY projects all over my house INCLUDING past SkyBell and Ring doorbells. FINALLY, this install was straightforward and fast!If you have a mechanical doorbell like me you should have just two wires going to your doorbell. The instructions are straightforward from SkyBell, however in short you just kill the breaker, hook the two wires to the base plate genius improvement as previously you had to wire to the device and then mount it to the mount and it was a pain, now the device isn’t involved until the very end at all and then mount your mount to the wall. I have used a combination of screws and glue for these installs. SkyBell provides a nice drill bit in the box if you would like to drill two holes into the house. For my stucco installation I did use two holes, however I chose to use my own masonry bit on my stucco just to be safe.

The biggest issue is the one the plagues many smoke detectors, excessive false alarms. In addition, this model was part of a large recall by Kidde in March 2018 over a manufacturing error that rendered one of the dual sensors inoperable. Free replacement alarms are available for defective units; you can find more information at the Kidde web site. If your home lacks a hardwired network of interconnected smoke detectors, and tackling the job of wiring a whole house smoke alarm system is too much for your DIY skills or contractor budget to allow, stand alone battery operated smoke detectors remain a reasonable second choice. Tops among these is the First Alert SA320CN Est. $20, a dual sensor, battery powered smoke detector that earns positive feedback overall. It's been tested by Consumer Reports, and earns the top rating for detecting both smoldering fires and flaming ones, though not a recommendation presumably because it cannot be interconnected with other alarms. User reviews are positive, including a 4.
