Device was easy to configure and works with our Ring alarm system. Pairing takes less than 30 seconds. The device has had no connection issues for the 3 weeks it’s been in use.

Hopefully reliable...

Paired with a SmartThings Hub and it works as expected, I think. I haven't left my truck running in the garage to fill my house with poisonous smoke, nor have I lit anything on fire inside, so I can't say it works 100%... If it doesn't work and I die inside my house without warning, I'll come back and update this review as well as haunt the manufacturer.

We had a fire. They helped save our house.

We had a fire. They worked. I was 30 miles from my house and was able to call 911. The fire department entered the house and removed the item that was smoldering. Beyond smoke, the house was saved. That's really the best review I can give. A little more detail: I paired 4 of these to my Abode home security system (easy). When smoke started, the fire alarms were triggered and immediately triggered the Abode security system which is configured to sound those alarms as well and send me an attention grabbing audible alert and pop-up notification on my phone. I actually happened to see the smoke starting on my security camera and wondered what was happening -- and then the smoke detector alerts confirmed what I was seeing. Frankly, what good are "dumb" smoke detectors if no one is home to hear them? You need to pair them to a smart home hub or security system.

Peace of mind for fires which can happen when you're not at home.

I was able to pair this with my SmartThings Gen2 Hub without any issues. I replaced my regular Smoke/CO2 detector in the kitchen, since I've been adding more items to my Smart Home system. Once paired, I added smart apps to trigger other devices automatically if it alarms, such as turning on all the connected lights, and using my WiFi speakers (3 Samsung Shape speakers) to act as an alarm as well. About a week after I installed the First Alert detector, I traveled away for work, and got a notification that the detector went off. I immediately looked at my cameras to find my girlfriend fanning towards the unit, since something had burned on the stove in the kitchen. It was a bit comical, but it's nice to know it works and I'll know if anything happens at home. A smoke alarm's main purpose it to alert and get anyone in the house out, but most people don't think about fires which can happen when no-one is home. This is some peace-of-mind I'm glad to now have.

We had SMOKE! They didn't work BUT, I'm thrilled!

My pellet stove caught a strange wind and filled the house at 2 am! I have 2 of these on my SmartThings and only a different brand (non-connected) sounded. I got these on January 24th 2018, probably a could days later I installed them. As most of us (I'm guessing) never touched them again. On January 12th 2019 the event occurred. The pellet stove had some how back fed the smoke (no fire) into the house and another detector in another part of the house woke me up, I found the cause, vented the house with 20* air pushed by 30 mph wind... Quickly. While waiting for the stove to completely shut down and cool off I check my SmartThings, 80% battery and no alarms???? WHAT? ON BOTH! 10 am Sunday I look over these detectors and give them a test by pushing the button. They both work? I now happen to notice "TEST WEEKLY". A couple hours later my wife is seering some lunch for us, with some smoke both now work correctly (LOUD) and the app shows an event? So I find the number for the company and call. A very pleasant voice asks how she can help. I explain the event and included I never tested these things. She asks several times are you sure everyone is OK?? No damage to anything?? No I assure you nothing was damaged. Early Monday I received a call from another group of them clarifying the event, again with true concern (not company policy) Are you sure everyone and thing is OK? Still they insist on sending out new ones and me returning the old ones with batteries to find the cause! Because of my remote location it took a few days to get the new ones, but they had sent them same day. I replaced them and returned the old. After all this I ended up with over 3 phone conversations and a few e-mails from a truly concerned company that could have very easily and honestly Pointed out TEST WEEKLY is clearly list in paperwork and on the face of the units! THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! ALSO TEST WEEKLY IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA! I suspect the issue could have been related to all the SmartThing I add throughout the year, hub being on and off line occasionally and me never testing them as I had admitted to them.

Simple Review for a Great Z-Wave WiFi Enabled Combination Photoelectric Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm

I will keep this simple, so everybody can easily understand and get what they want to know; - Easy installation - Easy Integration with Smartthings Hub - Easy to use - Easy explanations in the manual - Easy to place on a wall or ceiling (screws are same place with other brands, so all you need replace with existing one, do not require to open new holes in the wall if you have existing detectors) - It works very efficient and Fast - I tested with burning couple different objects (paper, plastic, fabric, foam, carpet piece, wood piece) in the toilet, garage and 2 different size of rooms in the house to test the quickness of detection and notification sending speed ( IT DETECTS AND NOTIFIES VERY FAST ) - Works as described - Quick detection - Quick notification - Low battery usage - Hush button very responsive - Working even in the attic with high temperature (wont work over 150F as efficient I am assuming) If you need Z-Wave enabled Combination Photoelectric Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm, here is the best one on the market you can get. I am a pretty cautious person, I do pay attention a lot for the safety and as a computer engineer with lots of electronics back ground, I do run some extensive tests to the devices when I buy. This device rocks, around of its purpose.

Potentially saved my life.

I posted this feedback on Amazon.com for the "First Alert 2-in-1 Z-Wave Smoke Detector & Carbon Monoxide Alarm". This device, along with the Ring Home Security System and the Ring Professional Monitoring system potentially saved my life. I purchased this CO/Smoke detector/alarm to integrate with the RING home security system. I believe this detector/alarm potentially saved my life. I was sitting in my family room when both this alarm and the Ring home alarm sounded. I was burning a small incense stick at the time. I figured the incense triggered the smoke detector. Because I have my Ring home security system monitored professionally by the Ring staff, my cell phone rang within a minute of the alarm. The Ring operator indicated that the fire department was dispatched. I expressed that I thought it was a false alarm, due to the minimal smoke from the incense. I asked the Ring Operator to call the fire department back and cancel the alarm. The operator indicated she was unable to comply with my request. Within 5 minutes, the fire department arrived. I told them I thought the incense was the culprit for setting off the alarm. However I did notice later on this alarm there are two small red colored LEDs, with one denoting SMOKE and the other (CO) Carbon Monoxide. It was the Carbon Monoxide light that was illuminated. When the firemen entered my home all of their personal CO detectors went crazy. They left the house immediately, donned their SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus), and reentered my home to determine the root issue of the carbon monoxide. After 15 minutes of airing out the home and searching for the source, it was determined that the ashes that I removed from my wood stove and placed into a metal bucket next to the stove were generating high levels of CO gas. There were some hot embers in the ash bucket, however no visible smoke, etc. I thought the ashes were innocuous, however the gas they produced were deadly. CO gas is a silent killer, and I could have died for it not for this detector, the Ring Home Security System, and the Ring Professional Monitoring system. Oh, and we can't forget the local volunteer firemen! Kudos to all. Thank you for my life!!!

Works well with ring alarm

Easy to set up with ring alarm. I set it up in a minute and you can tag the device to a specific room. No more wandering the home to locate a low battery beep. The app even shows battery level and can test the device. Let's just say ring and first alert got it right. To make it even easier the alarms attach to existing first alert bases. If you use ring alarm just buy this and you now have professional monoriting.

I haven't had to use this yet luckily. But ...

I haven't had to use this yet luckily. But it's in a 3D enclosure. You can hook this up to your SmartThings and the SmartThings will tell you the battery level (i'm not sure how accurate that is) I have mine setup where if the thing goes off. This will trigger an event where the printer itself will lose power. This is in hopes that I won't have any extra damage. It should be noted that I have printed wood a number of times and the alarm hasn't gone off. Obviously no smoke came out of it, but it still worth noting if you might do the same.

Easy Installation and SmartThings Integration

I bought two of these as soon as I saw the price drop to $35 (they were about $45 previously). We needed new smoke detectors anyway and the z-wave capability was worth paying more for. Installation: This does come with batteries and mounting hardware. The mounting bracket used the same screw holes as the "Nighthawk" alarm that was previously installed in our home. After screwing in the ceiling mount, I held down the "test" button and pushed the batteries into the device. I waited a second or two, then released the "test" button. Next, I completed the following steps based on another user's review. Note that I did not adjust any settings in the SmartThings app. I only did the following: * Open up the SmartThings app * Tap My Home * Under Things, tap Add a Thing at the bottom of your Things list * The app will say Looking for devices… While the Hub searches, press and hold the detector’s test button as you slide the battery tray back into the device * Wait about 2 seconds for the smoke detector to beep, and then release the button. The smoke detector will then beep again * When the device is discovered, it will be listed at the top of the screen * Tap the device to rename it and tap Done * When finished, tap Save * Tap Ok to confirm After that, everything was connected.
