I bought three of these. I have them synced with SmartThings. They were easy to set up, synced into my app, and work as intended. Definitely recommend.

Connecting the alarm via the Ring app was simple. If you have shared users, you can only connect the device using the primary user's account.
Connect the detector via the app before you install on the ceiling or wall. For me, there was no need to drill holes to install since the base of old was same as base for this one. These are wireless detectors so no need to “wire” them. I tested the detectors and they sounded off as they should.
I replaced all detectors in home with these. The primary user will be able to see all detectors listed so if you have more than one listed, you will need to name them so you would know which one is which. You can assign a location (living room, master bedroom, etc.) and name for each detector.
I have not had any of them to sound off yet. It is supposed to be "smart" enough to detect "normal" smoke from cooking. I have yet to verify that.
There are varies types, some be mindful of which one you are getting. Not all types with Ring. Additionally, the detectors are not interconnected. If one rings, you will not here an announcement of which one is sounding off. However, you should be able to determine which one via the ring app/notification.
These detectors do run by batteries, so you need to be mindful of that. You should be able to see the battery efficiency in the Ring app.
They are reasonable priced. They may be a bit cheaper on Amazon. Best Buy is supposed to price match. I tried that but since the “model number” was not the same, my store would not honor it. I did purchase one from Best Buy.
I would commend to others as it adds another level of home safety.

Have Ring? Get This smoke detector. So easy to set up with Ring. If it detects smoke it has a light for that and Ring Will contact you just in case you are burning food on the stove, but if the CO ever goes off Ring will contact you but they'll also contact the fire department and you can't cancel it, but WHY WOULD YOU? CO is colorless orderles and tasteless but it will kill you easily.
Plus the Ring App even lets you know what level the battery percentage is and will warn you if someone tampers with it.
Hopefully I'll never have to use it, but I am glad it is in the household for my family and myself.

Love this detector! My in laws recently installed it and got a notification that there was CO2 detected- it was just from the plumber moving the oven, but it's great to know it detects even the smallest amount. Love that it connects to ring!

Integrate with Ring but setup process problematic

I bought 3 of these as a package offer, nice to have them integrate with Ring security system, but it was not easy to pair with Ring.
The first one was straight forward, but the 2nd and 3rd won't work no matter how many times I tried and researched online and followed instructions from both First Alert and Ring Security.
At the end I had to call Ring technical support, after been transferred a couple of times, I could finally follow the step-by-step instruction from the guy on the phone which is completely different from any published instructions to have the last 2 paired up. When I asked him why the "secret" but correct instruction is not published anywhere on either Ring or First Alert guides, he said it was their "internal troubleshooting steps".

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.

Stupid simple install and exactly as expected. It connected effortlessly to my Ring alarm system. The only thing that I don't necessarily care about is that it shows up as 2 devices - one for the smoke and one for the CO2. A minor nuisance that's actually a feature to determine which issue is alerting. For my house I replaced 7 devices which show as *14* devices plus all my other sensors.

Easy and simple set up. Pairs perfectly with ring. Hardest part is trying to figure out why you have multiple devices. Remember it will show up on your ring app once as a smoke
Detector and once as a CO monitor
