False Alarms
False alarms go off at all times. Cannot silence via app because there is “too much smoke”. I have had to leave work to disconnect detector due to pets at home. This is a garbage product and a garbage app. Never had this issue with any prior detector.
WiFi nice option
Much easier install than previous hardwire brand. Nice having remote access to CO/ Smoke status. Remote alarm clear on phone app is a very convenient bonus! Will replace my other smoke detectors with Kidde!
Awful
I wish I could switch out but it seems Kidde is the only one I can use in my state to be compliant. I switched out all of my units last year after just 4 years due to the alarms going off at all times of the day. Now I have had the new ones for about a year and they are doing the same thing! And I have followed everything they have told me about cleaning around them or blowing an air can into them. They are just terrible fire detectors. Wish I could switch

Nothing but problems!
Thought as I kept buying more that it would get better and not go off in the middle of the night and during the day when I am not home scarring me.. These were an investment and don’t get cheaper for something I had committed to and realize it may have been a bad investment.
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
Superb app.
A must have for any homeowner.
Awful
These go off for no reason ALL THE TIME.
Worst brand I’ve bought to date
Bought the Carbon Monoxide detector and worked fine (despite this app not working for whatever reason) for a little while… and then came the beeps. So I called up the company, they sent a replacement which was VERY nice of them.
Redownloaded the app (still doesn’t work for me) followed the instructions AND of course a couple weeks later the “low battery” beeps are back.
Time for a new brand I guess 😭

Easy setup, one critique
Just replaced all of my interconnected hardwired alarms, the install and setup and easy and intuitive. My only critique is with alerts. The option to notify me of an interconnected alarm event should be selectable. Since I have all Kidde smart alarms, when one senses smoke, I get that alert as well as 7 other “interconnected alarm activations” this dilutes the actual alarm notification (that matters).

Not operational
The sensors, when installed, worked well. Now, the sensors are offline more than they are online. I’m now shopping for new water sensors I can count on and be confident using.
Leak on first night of vacation
So glad to have this alert and be able to have it taken care of before we returned home a week later to a mess.
Need info on testing the alarm!
Could not figure out how to test our water alarm and couldn’t get help from Kidde.
Saved my life
The devices from this brand have literally saved the lives of my family and I. Detecting dangerous VOC levels, carbon monoxide and smoke. Amazing and well needed in every household.
Useless
Doesn’t connect to wifi. Tried multiple times, reset the device, made sure it was a 2.4ghz network, absolute scam of a company.
Works great and is awesome!
I live being able to see my house is ok 24/7 and testing alarms on the app!
Many false alarms and the app is useless
Firstly, I am experiencing many false alarms with my Kidde detectors. Secondly, the app is so much limited, it does not even clear any of the alarms. We have to unplug the detectors, reset them, and plug them in again every time! Truely disappointed!
