Can this be used on a smoke detector?

Sorry for the delay as I have been traveling. I don't really think this would work effectively on smoke detectors, I dont think the correct end for the pole is in here.

Not really. It's designed to remove allergens. The air goes into the purifier and heats up to 400 degrees to kill spores, bacteria other living organisms. It won't filter smoke.

It sure can, it comes with a regular key. The batteries in mine lasted more than a year too. I think if you change them when ever you change the batteries in your smoke detector, you'll be ok. So far I've had mine more than 3 years, and only changed the batteries twice. Plus it gives you a warning when the voltage starts to get low.

The smoke detector works like a window/door or motion sensor. It sends a signal to the main unit, the main unit goes into a state of alarm, and then it sends texts/calls the numbers pre-programmed in the main panel. It will work like a normal smoke detector without the security system, but to send u a text, it must be linked to your security system and text alerts must be configured on your system

Yes. However, I use this on an outside security light, and it works well. As suggested, for an inside sensor, I would go with a switch sensor. I use one of these in my house, and it works well also.

You can not just replace one of the detectors with this model. All of your smoke detectors must be the same model. Because each one talks to each other. If they are NOT the same, the units will NOT perform effectively. In short, all detectors must be the same model.

Yes, I believe they can. I have used several for that purpose. The problem is that I had very unsatisfactory results with these batteries in smoke/CO2 detectors. As I recall, these are supposed to have a good long shelf life but if you buy, PLEASE check the "expiration date" (so to speak) on your purchase. I'm sure my order was the exception rather than the rule, but my purchased box of these batteries had only 3 years or so remaining on the estimated life expectancy. I don't use the ones I still have...I'm back to Duracell or Energizer. The $ savings was tempting, but all in all, this purchase did NOT work out well for me. Yes, I believe they can.

Yes you can. Activate the alarm by pulling out the battery protector tab and plug the smoke detector into the existing home wiring. When completed, test the system by pressing and holding the test button for a few seconds and make sure all alarms sound at once.

Hello Sunni,I have been using them in my smoke detectors with no problems, change them once a year. Don't know if your particular model calls for these, but I don't see why not!

I utilize these smoke detectors with my Vivint system (all 2GIG equipment including control panel) which is monitored by Vivint. At least on our system, if the smoke detectors sense smoke, then yes it will trigger an alarm and it is transmitted to the Vivint monitoring system and they will call the fire department. This just happened to us two days ago while cooking some overheated stir-fry. Fire department showed up 5 minutes later.

No it doesn't. And actually I don't recommend it. I just had a dryer fire and this detector was right over top of it in the laundry room. The room was filled with smoke by the time we noticed it and the detector never went off and afterwards I tested it and it tested fine. I had just put a new battery in the 2 of them I purchased about 2 weeks prior. My husband lit a paper roll and put it under them and despite the fire and smoke they didn't go off. I threw them in the trash. My home could have burned down and lives lost. Thank Heavens we were here .

I would rather use a lithium 9v for smoke detectors. Check the manufacturers recommendations.

Yes it is possible I hooked some up to a couple 9 volt batteries like the ones in the smoke detector not the big lattern ones put a switch on it works great in my fishhouse I would recomend getting the end connecters so you can cut and use as you need

you can replace it with any smoke alarm that supports your connection, these are great smoke alarms and I stayed with the 1276 units, they are easier to change the batteries in,and they have a great track record.. but its your call any smoke alarm is better than none..hope this helps.

I'm not a "science" guy - just a homeowner who's had CO detectors for years. Mine are up high just where a smoke detector would be. Many friends and "experts" have seen them up there in my house. Nobody ever said it was not the correct location.

Yes, it can be used with a smoker. I have used mine several times to measure temps towards the end of a cook, and no issues.

I'm sure it could. You would just have to be careful not to pinch the wire. I've only used it in my smoker though.
