Smoke Detectors

But both can still work in tandem with compliant wired units, so you can still get the alerts as part of monitoring service.

But neither meet code if you live somewhere that requires a wired connection (linked or not) for new construction which is most if not all of the US. So homeowners need to buy two sets of Smoke and CO detection hardware to meet code and to integrate with SimpliSafe. That's the issue we're trying to point out here and that we hope SimpliSafe will fix in the future. We either want:

- Smoke and CO Detectors that can be hardwired and are linked

- A SimpliSafe system that, without having to buy Smoke and CO Detectors, listen for the T4 and T5 tones from other hardware

We're trying to avoid being forced to spend 2x the money on Smoke and CO Detectors to get all the functionality we want. Does that make sense?

Making the SimpliSafe system capable of listening for the T4 and T5 tones from other vendors hardware so we don't have to buy two sets of hardware to meeting

@davey_d​ that sure isn't what I was told when I called about another issue and mentioned it. 

that sure isn't what I was told

Which part? That the systems are wireless only and aren't linked? Or the part about working in tandem?

@Uptown​ I understand, and I apologize for the misinformation. The agent might have been referring to (or misinterpreting) how requirements for wired systems have been more common for business locations. Though I've been hearing that it's becoming more frequent for residential spaces as well, especially for apartments and condos.

SS need to have a smoke and CO listener. Other security system already have it.
