Could do better
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Doesn’t pick up smoke right away and alarm. Held a flame around it, under it, smoke around it, took at least a full minute to finally sound the alarm. Says it has false alarm prevention but my hard wired alarm immediately sounds with smoke to it, not this one. Alerts phone thru ring which is nice but problem is half the house would be on fire before it notifying.

Faulty devices, not worth your money
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought 12 of this alarms to cover basically every corner of my house, 4 of them died within the first year. They just keep triggering the smoke sensor, you remove the batteries, as soon as you put back them, it goes off again. I got only one replaced under warranty, it was very cumbersome process, so I didn't even bothered with the other 3.

Not perfect, but a great z-wave alarm!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pairs perfectly with z-wave Home Assistant. The one thing I don't like about it is that the manual claims it measures different levels and alerts according to different measures. However, it does NOT tell you what the levels actually are. I really wish it would tell me when the presence of these gasses were present along with the levels. Even still, I liked this enough that I put them in every main room of my house. They are WAY too loud for bedrooms unfortunately. It's not just "wake you up" loud - it's "this is painful to the ears" loud. Otherwise I'd put one in every room.

Easy install
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to install and seems to work well from what we can tell
I would recommend this to a friend Functional
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Arrived and works as described. While this wasn't the exact model I was looking for, it does the operation/s necessary. Definitely not the best, but its a good 2nd choice.
