If it has been a while since you last installed a smoke alarm, you may be surprised to learn that there are now wireless interconnected smoke alarms available. These devices connect with each other over your residential or commercial Wi-Fi setup. If one of the alarms detects smoke, they all go off. This gives you more time to safely evacuate and call for help.
Another advantage of these wireless smoke alarms is that they can automatically alert you via a text or an app if you are not at home when one of the alarms detects smoke. If you are at work, running errands or out of town, you would get a notification. You could even have it set up for the system to contact emergency services. You could also choose to contact emergency services at the time you receive the notification.
These wireless smoke alarms work with other parts of your smart home setup. If you have security cameras that allow you to view inside of your home with an app, you can check those as soon as you get a notification that an alarm has detected smoke. You could verify who is in your home and relay the information to the emergency responders. They also work with your light, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. If you have a security system that automatically triggers a call to the police, the two services can be interconnected.
These wireless smoke alarms are designed to give you as much advance warning as possible if there is a fire.
