    This is an amazing product. It is not a smoke / CO sensor, it's a listener. This means that you do not have to remove your installed sensor unit. You install close to your smoke sensor, activate the sensor alarm on the installed unit, and the Listener programs the sound and alerts you of the alarm activation. Beautiful!!! It doesn't get any easier!!!

    This unit is installed next to a wired Smoke/Fire/CO detector. When tested it easily recognized the two distinct sounds emitted from the CO/smoke detector and these sound discriminations were clearly showed in the Ring app.

    You save so much money with this and works just as well as the $200 plus smoke alarm that pairs with the ring system. You put this next to your existing smoke/carbon alarm and it "listens" for it to alarm. If it does then you receive a call from Ring with 5 second. Literally five secnd and your phone is ringing. I highly recommend this.

    These are effective, small, and easy(ish) to install. I learned that installing anything on the ceiling isn't all that easy due to the angle/height. However, these are small, and since all my smoke detectors are wired together, I only need on unit to listen to the whole house. The one downside that I have found is that they don't have a way to turn it off or bypass it for 5 mins to change your smoke alarm backup battery. You have to take the battery out. Also, I suggest you call Ring and tell them you are re-setting or testing your smoke alarm, or else you may end up with a visit from your local fire station, which is what happened to me. Since they listen for CO and smoke, once a CO alarm is sent, there is no way to recall/stop it.

    Bought it to integrate with my existing Ring device ecosystem. Had to change the battery once per year, but otherwise was quite seamless to add to my existing Ring setup. With total monitoring, it sure will ease your mind especially when you are not at home knowing that the listener will alert in the event of possible smoke. Also integration with Alexa is added bonus as Alexa will listen to notification and also pass on alerts if required.

    Easy to install. Unable to test with our hard-wired system that is very old and has no test button. I called Ring to make sure it was activated and to explain the problem. We may also purchase a First Alert Smoke/ CO monitor as a back-up. I would have tried the First Alert before purchasing these had I known it was an option.
