Inventory Non-Smart Sensors

The App is good and useful. But it would be better if the user could inventory non Smart devices that do not report.
I would still like replacement reminders for non Smart Kidde devices.

Overall, pretty good

I installed three separate sensors throughout my home and exterior building, but my biggest hurdle is getting a home assistant integration to work having so many different types of products without a native platform for them. All to work together is a bit of a struggle.

Cannot be stopped

Even the app does not allow you to stop the alarm once it starts even for a false alarm. Threw it in the pool finally to make it stop.

Disappointing

Too many air quality false alarms.

Great app

It was extremely easy to set up as long as you ensure you have 2.4vs5G selected and I also added 1 device at a time! Enjoy
