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!!

Completely useless. Always signed out.

The app is completely useless. You will immediately be signed out so you never get any notifications. Then you’ll go in and try to sign in, but it doesn’t save your username or password. Then you’ll be spending 15 minutes trying to reset everything and give up and delete it and just move on.

Plenty of false alarms

The many false alarms I could only disable when I was not at my home location. My neighbors were seriously annoyed by the noise and they could do l nothing about it. When I was at home, with nothing possibly to trigger the alarm I resorted to unplug the indicated device, wrapped in towels and moved it to a non disturbing location. After about 20 minutes I could reinstall it with no further hiccups. A 10 year carefree device should not expose the owner of so much regular inconvenience.

Annoying App

Continuous Unnecessary notifications in the middle of the night. Deleting the app.

Excellent Product

Have been using this for two years. Battery still at 70% and it never goes offline. Very reliable gives me peace of mind

Saved my floors!

My dad bought this water detector for all of the kids one Christmas and I grudgingly set it up. but one night unbeknownst to us, Our washer started leaking water through our baseboards into the basement. I immediately got a loud alert on my phone though the app and ran downstairs to check and while there wasn’t a lot of water (enough for a quick towel mop and some fans) this probably saved me from having to replace my entire flooring. Now it’s a staple and I recommend everybody should get this app and this device.

Integrate with HomeKit

This app wouldn’t need to exist if the team integrated with Apple HomeKit

The device already is integrated with google home and Alexa which is great

Keeps me aware that it’s online and protecting us

I like the smart features and app notifications so if it goes offline or has low battery, I’m aware.

Miss

Very safe

Quality app

Setup for the smoke detectors was incredibly easy and straightforward. App is the same way. I recommend

Deceptive

The packaging does not mention you must pay extra for all the data

WiFi

After many, many attempts it won’t connect to WiFi. Should have saved the extra $25 each and purchased regular ones.

Peace of mind

I’m surprised how much I actually love these and how much they give me a piece of mind. We had about 30% of our house flood just over a year ago due to a faulty water softener line. Unfortunately, it took a devastating food and so much flooring and wall repairs for me to purchase a warning system. The model I decided on alerts of water is detected as well as sends an alert to my phone. I can leave my house without worrying about another flood and I can check the status of any of my 5 Kidde Smart Detection alarms. FYI, I got the ones that feature “HomeSafe.”
