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.

Easy to install, both on the Ring app and on the ceiling. It comes with batteries. Make sure you have the Ring Alarm to take advantage of the extra features.

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.

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!

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
