Wired smoke detector

SS could easily solve this problem, assuming they will never make a wired alarm, by having a listener, not unlike the glass break detector, that would hear the wired alarm and report it to the system.

As a building inspector, I would love a hardwired smoke detector that communicated with other simply safe devices.  Possibly a good use for a wifi extender integrated into the device.

SimpliSafe has to start producing a wired smoke detector if they want to keep customers or attract new ones.  Not being able to meet minimum building code makes this sensor completely useless.  Your customers want action.

UK building regulations require wired smoke/heat detectors. To meet the regulation I’ve had to install dumb linked detectors in parallel to a few SimpliSafe devices. I’d much prefer to use SimpliSafe throughout to have everything monitored.

In reality I can’t see SimpliSafe developing mains powered linked heat and smoke detectors that would be required to satisfy Building regulations.  A listener would be a simple solution or somthing to monitor the “link” wire in the wired solution. 

It would be nice if the Co/Smoke detectors were also able to use 115v power. I have existing smoke detectors that have 115v and battery back up, and linked to each other so if one goes off they all sound.

My local regulations also require any newer house built with wired alarms to only be replaced with wired option. I would replace all mine if there was a wired option available.  

Unless SimpliSafe releases wired smoke and CO detectors, will look elsewhere to other home security systems when my current wired smoke and CO detectors reach their expiration point. 

I thought it would be excellent to replace all of my existing smoke alarms with SS alarms to be able to get notifications and call 911 if I needed to, but not having them wired feels silly. I figured it would be a straight swap, not "For use in conjunction with". I know wireless is cool, but for the sake of home integration, make them able to be wired?

I’d love to see a solution where SimpliSafe can work with existing hardwired smoke detectors as that is the code requirement in many places and more resilient given the SS smoke detectors runs on a battery. Maybe something that plugs into an outlet and has battery back up for detecting the sound of a fire alarm. 

Does Simplisafe make the products they sell? If so, then why no hardwired option yet?

This is clearly still needed. A generic wired system interface module with selected alert levels. This is so easy to do I am rather surprised that the effort hasn't been made. Just a little box that mounts next to the hardwired detector. two input with  rectifier, opto-isolator like the Ti ISOM8110-Q1, and threshold detector to signal alert. 

Personally I'd like to use something like this to tie into a septic pump fail alert. 

I realize this thread is old, but Google has abandoned the Nest Protect smoke/CO detectors. There are millions of these installed and Googles third party replacement recommendation is a poor product. 

it seems like a big opportunity is being missed here as all of the Nest customers are looking for a viable replacement product as their installed sensors go EOL.

I own a remote building that stores a boat and lawn mowers that is close to the house.  I have door sensors and a smoke detector in the building.  In the winters when it gets down to sub zero temperatures, my base stations starts complaining about low battery voltage.  Even though the smoke detector is less than a year old this happens.  I would like a smoke detector that would keep the power to the smoke detector constant in cold weather.  I was chagrined to learn that Simplisafe has known about this for over 4 years and still does not have a hard wired smoke detector that is compatible with their existing alarm system so that their customers can meet building code requirements or protection for devices mounted in cold locations.
