Recommendations for Smoke Alarm with Wi-Fi and Can Send Alert to Phone

drhip on 10/04/2025 - 15:45

I’m looking for recommendations on smoke alarms with built-in WiFi that can send alerts to my phone.

Has anyone used one before? We’re often away from home and want to stay informed about any potential issues. What are some reliable options?

Cheers

    Some cameras will detect the sound of an alarm and notify you about it. Would be easy to test if it works with the test button on the smoke/fire detector. HomePod mini will do this as well actually.

    If you're away from home, what are you going to do if the smoke alarm goes off?

      Call the cops before it goes down maybe 🤔

        Why call the cops? They have better things to do than a welfare check on your smoke detector. FFS.

            @ATTS: They would and they would send you a big invoice for the pleasure as well.

  • geekcohen on 10/04/2025 - 16:51

    Does your smoke alarm go off often?

    • drhip on 10/04/2025 - 16:54

      In the apartment: yes, once a month or so. House: dont know yet

    Any chance you're an iPhone user? HomePods send alarm sound notifications

    Google Nest Protect fits your requirements

    • sumyungguy on 11/04/2025 - 15:08

      … except the battery model is non-compliant by way of having removable batteries and the wired model is discontinued with Google now partnering with First Alert; new product not yet announced for the Australian market.

    Smoke alarms are false alarms over 90% of the time. Airflow, dust, humidity, cooking all set them off. For this reason, if you want to stay informed remotely - internal cameras would be a better option.
