The Ring system natively supports First Alert Z-Wave Smoke/CO Alarms. But if you add a listener you can work with any alarm. I prefer Nest detectors so this is how I will do it with my system. As to temperature Ring uses lithium ion batteries, and they drain faster than designed in cold temperatures, and at 32 stop charging for say a Ring Alarm System extender.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not sure about the temps. In regards to the smoke/detectors yes there is a capabilty to add this to the system. If you go on the ring website they offer an option. Also they are in the process of launching in the near future flood/temp sensors to notify potential freezing pipe issues or any issues with water flooding along with smoke detector listners (put it near a current detector current detector sounds it listens and then activates and alerts you) which will integrate with the system. Please refer to he ring website for details.
