This Smart Smoke Detector Works with Ring and Sends Alerts to Your Phone
If you’ve ever walked in the door to smoke alarms wailing, you know the instant adrenaline rush: What’s burning? How long has that been going off? Is everyone okay? Your brain goes from zero to emergency mode in about half a second.
Good news: that scramble might soon be a thing of the past. Kidde and Ring just teamed up on a new smart smoke alarm that sends alerts straight to your phone through the Ring app the moment smoke is detected, even if you’re miles away.
In other words, you can bring pro-level fire protection into your Ring ecosystem (yes, the same one as that smart doorbell on your porch). Here’s what we know about the new device, and why we’re pretty excited about it.
Kidde Smart Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm
This smart smoke alarm pairs with Ring to deliver real-time notifications when smoke is detected.
What is the Kidde x Ring Smoke Detector?
Ring and Kidde joined forces to launch a smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarm built for faster detection and real-time alerts. If smoke or carbon monoxide is detected, you’ll get a notification straight to the Ring app whether you’re home or away. The alarm will also let you know when batteries are running low. And the best part? Those alerts don’t require a subscription (though you can add optional 24/7 professional smoke and CO monitoring if you like).
The new alarm comes in both battery-powered (no wiring required) and hardwired options, so you can choose what works best for your home. If you go the hardwired route, installing just one Kidde smart alarm can bring smart alerts to other compatible Kidde alarms in your home, too.
With advanced sensing technology, the Kidde Smart Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm delivers up to 25 percent faster detection and three times more precise sensing than the average smoke alarm, helping give families more time to react and get to safety.
How It Works
The new Kidde Smart Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm works like a traditional smoke detector but with a smart-home upgrade. When smoke or CO is detected, you’ll get a real-time alert in the Ring app telling you exactly when and where the alarm is going off.
If smoke or CO is detected, the alarm issues a clear voice alert announcing “fire” to warn you of danger. Kidde’s early, low-level CO detection is designed to help protect kids and pets who often feel the effects of carbon monoxide first.
Smart sensing also helps cut down on false alarms from everyday things like cooking, keeping the device reliable when it matters most. The alarm features a clean, streamlined design and an easy installation process.
Set up the Kidde Wired Smart Smoke Alarm in the Ring app, and you can also connect Ring cameras for instant visibility if an alarm goes off. One smart alarm can even extend alerts to your existing compatible Kidde hardwired detectors, so you’ll still receive real-time notifications if they detect smoke or CO. You’ll also receive notifications when batteries are running low, so you’re never caught off guard.
For added peace of mind, Ring offers optional 24/7 professional monitoring for $5 a month. Agents can call to confirm an emergency and request fire department dispatch if needed—but a subscription isn’t required to use the alarm or receive alerts.
