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!

Faulty

Late night faulty alarms. For three weeks straight. Cleaned multiple times and no support.

Constant failure errors

These smart alarms sounded like a great idea but they are constantly giving error messages and going off. I’ve bought four of them and had them professionally installed by two different electricians and they have all failed. Very dissatisfied with this brand.

Positive experience!

I was originally skeptical of this product, never owned a smart smoke alarm. It works great! Easy to setup, and if I am away from my pets, I feel better that I’ll be notified if smoke is detected

First Real World Test

Workman sawing into hallway cabinet to install fixtures creating smoke. System notified me on iPhone while I was away! System allowed me to silence alarm after talking to workman.
A great system!!
