Yes. They both connect to your wifi and communicate with each other. When one goes off the rest go off to provide full coverage. Throw in the Nest thermostat and they all communicate,

Yes they do communicate with the wired version. Activating a test from the battery powered unit will cause the hard wired units to self test also.

Miksmi · Answer

Yes it will. I have it this way in my house. 4 wired and 1 battery. It won't check for code as often and doesn't poll your wifi as often...obviously so it can maintain battery life. But otherwise is great.

Yes. The units setup a network that communicates to all detectors and other Nest products. An alarm will sound on all detectors and announce the reason and location of the alert.
