A: Hello Jon, Out of the box, your Ring devices come with standard features which do not require a subscription. This Ring Alarm Smoke & CO Listener does, however, require a Ring Alarm system to be installed on your property in order to function. This is because the Alarm Smoke & CO Listener is an accessory to the Ring Alarm system, not the system itself. We do offer an optional subscription service known as Ring Protect.

We look forward to hearing from you. My best, Marlom at Ring
Q: Do these sensors expire like smoke detectors? Do you have to replace them every 10 years?
A: I doubt it. Smoke detection components have a service life. This is a listening device. It's a microphone, a microprocessor and a ZigBee radio. All it does is listen for the sound of your smoke alarm so it can notify your Ring alarm system.
