Smart smoke detectors - do all the options have major problems?
Like many, I got an annoying notice that my Nest Protects are expiring and discontinued.
As far as I can tell, all the replacement options are bad.
Ideally I want:
\--interconnected
\--smoke and CO
\--smart app connectivity
1.) FirstAlert got tapped to make a Nest replacement (SC5), that's what Nest tries to steer you to, but First Alert detectors are junky and unreliable, that's why I paid more for a Nest Protect in the first place. This looks like the same junk just with a $120 price tag.
2) X Sense seems to allow interconnect (SC07-W https://www.x-sense.com/products/sc07-w-wireless-interconnected-combination-smoke-and-carbon-monoxide-detector) r app connectivity (SC07-WX https://www.x-sense.com/products/smart-smoke-detector-carbon-monoxide-detector-combo-sc07-wx) but not both? Bizarre.
3.) Kidde allows interconnect but says it will not work properly if you have a mix of battery and hardwired units. I have half and half.
4.) Everything I read is that Matter over Thread is vastly superior to Wifi-based interconnectivity, and that the Sensereo msc-1 https://sensereo.com/msc-1/ is what I want. But they haven't bothered to get it UL certified, which suggests that if my house burns down and all that the fire investigator can find in the rubble is the barely identifiable hull of the MSC-1, they will tell the insurance company that I was using a non-certified smoke detector and the insurance company will deny my claim.
So.
What would you do?
