Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the Alarm Smoke & CO Listener's ease of use and simple setup process, highlighting its seamless integration with the Ring alarm system. Many appreciate its compatibility with other detectors and its affordable price. However, some customers wish it had a built-in smoke alarm, clarifying that it functions as an extender for existing smoke detectors rather than a standalone unit.

    This is an amazing product. It is not a smoke / CO sensor, it's a listener. This means that you do not have to remove your installed sensor unit. You install close to your smoke sensor, activate the sensor alarm on the installed unit, and the Listener programs the sound and alerts you of the alarm activation. Beautiful!!! It doesn't get any easier!!!

    This unit is installed next to a wired Smoke/Fire/CO detector. When tested it easily recognized the two distinct sounds emitted from the CO/smoke detector and these sound discriminations were clearly showed in the Ring app.

    Effective, but missing one feature

    These are effective, small, and easy(ish) to install. I learned that installing anything on the ceiling isn't all that easy due to the angle/height. However, these are small, and since all my smoke detectors are wired together, I only need on unit to listen to the whole house. The one downside that I have found is that they don't have a way to turn it off or bypass it for 5 mins to change your smoke alarm backup battery. You have to take the battery out. Also, I suggest you call Ring and tell them you are re-setting or testing your smoke alarm, or else you may end up with a visit from your local fire station, which is what happened to me. Since they listen for CO and smoke, once a CO alarm is sent, there is no way to recall/stop it.

    You save so much money with this and works just as well as the $200 plus smoke alarm that pairs with the ring system. You put this next to your existing smoke/carbon alarm and it "listens" for it to alarm. If it does then you receive a call from Ring with 5 second. Literally five secnd and your phone is ringing. I highly recommend this.

    It works great with my ring system. You will know if your alarm goes off even if you are away which is great.

    If you have ring alarm and app you can add this device to recognize your existing detectors. Easy to install. Connects to ring app upon install. Reasonable price.

    For the price these work perfect. We replaced our existing smoke detectors as we are updating our home security with Ring. These were easy to sync using the Ring App. Will purchase more when the time comes.

    I first attempted to get a First Alert 'works with ring' smoke/CO alarm to connect and stay connected to my Ring home alarm without success. So I returned that and bought this instead. Since I already had smoke alarms and CO alarms, it made more sense anyway rather than replacing one of my existing alarms. So far so good! It connected easily and tested out fine. Fortunately I haven't needed to rely on it yet, but knowing that my home can send a fire alarm signal to the fire department when I'm not at home puts me at ease.

    Bought it to integrate with my existing Ring device ecosystem. Had to change the battery once per year, but otherwise was quite seamless to add to my existing Ring setup. With total monitoring, it sure will ease your mind especially when you are not at home knowing that the listener will alert in the event of possible smoke. Also integration with Alexa is added bonus as Alexa will listen to notification and also pass on alerts if required.
