I'm pretty sure smoke detectors for fire don't cost $169, let alone $6k.

  When you only want to detect smoke that’s cheap, but as you add features you do eventually get into that price range. Ie: Smoke only costs less than Smoke + carbon monoxide. People want to monitor levels not just have an alarm which requires a screen or network connectivity. People want to know if there’s a fire in the building even if there far enough away not to hear a local alarm etc etc. Though eventually you circle back and have a cheap smoke alarm for redundancy.
