KiddeSmart Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detector, WiFi, Alexa Compatible Device, Hardwired w/Battery Backup, Voice & App Alerts

Backwards compatible (plug and base) with Model#: i12010SCO (which has probably been in the house for at least 10 years).The only tricky part of installation was linking to the network; if you don’t have all your network passwords at hand, the window closes and the smoke detector stops “blinking”, eliminating the quick set up option. The work-around was to take the new unit down, unplug it, turn the battery dial to “off”, then back to “on”, and start over. (The battery dial itself was a bit hidden- don’t install until you turn it on!) After this reboot, worked great, quick set up option restored.I’m so glad the company made these backward compatible, and improved the battery switch to an obvious dial from the old nightmare rotating slide thing; well done!

Sooo this house has like 7 Kidde smoke alarms (typical 3 level house, one each floor plus one each bedroom per building code). I wanted to add wi-fi reporting - to message me if I'm not home and one goes off. I didn't want to replace them all (only a few years old) so just swapped this one in. Works great - just what I wanted. Any activate and my phone gets emergency message. Nice detectors (I have not had any false alarm issues at all in 3 years) and half as much as a google smart alarm.

I have given this product one star only because I cannot give it zero. It is the worst smoke detector I’ve ever had. Originally bought this item in March after moving to my new home. I chose this brand because there were already two existing smoke detectors. I installed it and a week later it failed to work properly and kept false alarming at all hours of the day and night. I couldn’t bus or reset the device unless I totally disconnected it from the power supply line. I returned it and got an exchange in replacement. I installed the replacement device. A month later the pre-existing devices started false alarming. I could hush and reset them from the app. About two weeks ago I was away at a conference. I received a text message from my dog sitter. She stated when she arrived that all the alarms were going off. I had not gotten an alert in the app. She stated that she tried to reset them, but she could not get them to stop alarming. I opened up the app to see if I could reset them. Unfortunately, I could not by this time my animals were going crazy. The dog sitter was at her wits end and I was disgusted. I asked that she please just disconnect the devices from the power source. She removed two of the devices however she could not reach the third one that it’s in the upstairs hallway as it was too high for her to be able to reach even with a stepstool. That is one of The existing devices. When I returned home from my business trip, I attempted to troubleshoot the devices to no avail. Over the past two weeks the one remaining device has been alarming at all hours of the day and night for seemingly no reason. I have dusted it. I have vacuumed it. I made sure that there was no humidity affecting it, I kept my house at a steady 76° temperature. It keeps alarming for no reason. Yesterday while having out-of-town company, the two disconnected devices begin alarming for no apparent reason. When would go off it would set the other two this has been nothing but a literal headache. I have decided to take all three of them down. I have deactivated them entirely. By doing so they cannot be used again. Once you turn the battery power off it essentially deactivates the device and it’s no longer serviceable. At this point all I wanted to do was shut off the noise . I have decided to go with an entirely different brand as this one literally is a headache. Save yourself the trouble and try something else.

Very easy to install and cheap for what it does. This is a reliable company I use for all my alarms.

I had been searching for a 2-wire WiFi compatible smoke detector / carbon monoxide / air quality alarms for ages and ages and was pleased to have finally found this device from a trusted name like KIDDE.Installation was a breeze when replacing an existing older 2-wire model. Twist and remove old device, unplug, remove mount (2 screws), install phone app, scan qr on back of new device, install new mount (2 screws), pull device battery tab, plug-in, twist into place, connect new device to WiFi using the app.I installed a total of 6 of the standard smoke alarms, a couple of the smoke / carbon monoxide, and a couple of the air quality devices and can now worry less.These devices are LOUD. They will wake your entire neighborhood up.They come with a 10 year lithium battery!The app is simple.All-in-all I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend to other people wanting to continue building their smart home.

I live in an area that's internet comes in and out. Usually in the middle of the night. It would set this smoke detector off. Somethings just don't need wifi. Removed it purchased a model without which was hard to find because EVERYONE has to be the latest crap.

I got this instead of the Nest alarm as I liked it had the built in plug adaptor and didn't want to to have to deal with attaching the wires with wire nuts like the Nest. However, the built in harness wasn't the same as the alarm I was replacing. I don't know if there is a "standard" width and this is non-standard or they are all different. When I saw it didn't fit what I had, I returned it and got the Nest, which was very easy to install, even with having to use the wire nuts, and I love the built in night light on the Nest.

Excellent Smoke detectors w/ Carbon Monoxide sensing. Easy installation. Has WiFi connectivity, so great to be able to check status and get alerts from the App when not at home.
