Hi there. I was having the same problem in my home. I had the old generation smoke detectors (wired ones), I just removed them from the ceiling and installed the NEST. It easy to install, check it out youtube for the installation. Should be super easy. Thanks.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It won't cause any problems but the beauty of nest is that they talk to each other wireless lyrics to tell you where in the house smoke / CO2 is so you wouldn't be able to do that.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Pretty sure the Nest would actually alert you if the other one goes off. Should be a great combo! That's what I heard from other sources so I just put one in my main hallway close to kitchen which should also recognize if the hardwired ones in any bedrooms go off!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No I put mine in the middle of Hall way around four regular ones and it works just fine
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It will not interconnect with the other unit which may be against code and certainly isn't safe. I swapped them out one or two at a time until I got the 6 i needed, to keep from spending 600 at once.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
