Are there any alternatives to nest protect that would: Sense Carbon Monoxyde AND smoke AND fire off some event to mobile phone via wifi/sms/whatever?

- ozzyman700 8y agoYes, depending how comfortable you are with soldering. https://hackaday.com/2014/07/29/a-cheap-diy-smoke-detector-that-can-save-lives/ https://hackaday.com/2014/07/29/a-cheap-diy-smoke-detector-t...
- graeme 8y agoThere's the first alert onelink. May have the same issues though, it has a microphone and an alexa integration. Also support homekit, unlike the Nest Protect. Are there any best practices for using a device like this but not having it communicate with the wider world? I.e. It can communicate with you via a homekit hub, but can't connect outside your LAN https://onelink.firstalert.com/withalexa/ https://onelink.firstalert.com/withalexa/
- mvarrieur 8y agoI use a z-wave smoke detector to supplement the wired smoked detectors in my house: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KMHXFAI https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KMHXFAI I then paired it with https://www.home-assistant.io/ https://www.home-assistant.io/ to send alerts to my phone, google home, etc. Haven't had to actually test that the carbon monoxide alarm works yet because testing that is hard/expensive, but for smoke it works just fine.
