There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I don't know that I should even voice my annoyance with an event. All Echo devices go to a 10 volume and the alarm itself is LOUD, so in an accidental activation, I found myself frantically screaming 'ALEXA STOP!!!' but could not be heard over the alarm. I struggled for a few seconds to stop the alarm using the button on the actual device. In the meantime, I answer my ringing phone to tell them not to send 911 but they couldn't hear me until I managed to stop the chaos. To end it all, after I told them "There is no fire", they called my secondary contact to confirm. That would be a nice feature if the alarm on the keypad were pressed by a DV victim, but for my smoke alarm going off, it seemed a bit unnecessary.
Still, 10/10!!!
I bought 6 new detectors and five of them linked up with SmartThings easy enough (much easier than my original ones from 9 years ago did). The sixth would only partially connect and SmartThings warned me about that. After 6 tries I got it to sync fully. Another one of the six units I purchased was faulty right out of the box. As soon as I put the batteries in a couple seconds later it started alarming. I didn't even get to link it to SmartThings so the problem wasn't caused by the SmartThings hub. I removed the batteries and tried again but again in 30 seconds it began alarming and wouldn't quit even after pressing the silence button. So that one got returned and I will buy another to replace it.
The biggest thing missing from this version is that they do not relay an alarm. If one goes off the others DO NOT also sound off. I know First Alert has another version that looks very similar to the ZCOMBO and does relay an alarm from other units but that version does not work with SmartThings or Ring.
Another feature missing is they do not work with Alexa. The detectors use Z-Wave and Alexa does not (directly) since it is connected using Wi-Fi. But a HA hub like SmartThings can bridge that gap. If this were possible then Alexa could be used to make announcements when a detector alarms due to smoke or CO level. But Alexa does not even know the detectors exist. That's not First Alert's fault but you would think they would work with Alexa to make it happen.
I added these directly to the Ring app, and then using Homebridge, I added them to Apple HomeKit. Everything works perfectly and they show up in both apps.
I've tested them, but can't report on performance in an actual fire or with CO. Tests were all successful including notifying the monitoring service.
