First Alert - Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm - Works with Ring - White

I replaced my expensive/aging house alarm system with the Ring Alarm Hub and so I was in the market to replace my existing Smoke detectors that were hard wired to the house alarm. I purchased (3) of these Smoke/CO alarms as it is the only model Ring currently supports; as of Jan. 2020. Overall I am very impressed with both the technology as well as the price. Installation was a breeze as all you need to do is insert the batteries and push a button...after that it pairs itself to the Ring Alarm hub. Even though these units are battery operated (no wires) they offer a wireless feature that allows them to communicate with each other so if one unit detects a fire or CO they will all sound the alarm. If you don't have a Ring Alarm but do have a Smartthings Hub then you are in luck as this also works with Smartthings. Only one or the other though as you cannot connect a zwave device to 2 different hubs at the same time.

They were easy to install. Connecting to Ring was simple and I have professional monitoring so they are covered too. The only downfall is that they do not talk to each other. Since they connect via WiFi this should be a no brainer.

Loved the simple installation, the fact that it was wireless and that the batteries only need to be replaced about once a year. It worked out great and integrated into our ring connected home alarm system.

I have a couple nest smoke detectors and although I like the features, I wanted something that could be connected to my Ring security system and was less expensive. I have the optional monitoring service for my Ring alarm and once this was set up, it is now also part of that monitoring. You can also provide a custom name for each device and if activated the app tells you the detector that has gone off. The only thing that I wish this had was the ability to announce an activation by name over all my first alert devices. I would and will buy again as replacements for the nest units once they have reached end of life.

We installed several of these smoke and CO detectors in our house. They were easy to install and easy to connect them to the App. So far they seem to be working fine.

A good low priced carbon monoxide and smoke alarm. The best part is that it works with Smartthings. Best Buy had the best price by far.

So this works. Mine has gone off a couple times. It sounds the alarm system and Ring calls my phone. I highly recommend if you’re not home all the time.

The bundle pack will save you a lot of money. And it is great that it works with the ring security system.
