Smoke Alarm Monitor

Yes, the Smoke Alarm Monitor is battery-powered and communicates with the hub via radio frequency, so it is completely wireless. You can place it anywhere around your home, thanks to a range capable of communicating more than 100 feet from the hub.

No, this device listens for existing smoke/co alarms and sends an alert when they sound. In essence, it turns any beeping smoke/co monitor* into a smart device by allowing it to notify system users and the professional monitoring center.

Note: The Abode Smoke Alarm Monitor is compatible with any smoke alarm that uses UL 217-compliant T-3 signalling (Tones/beeps). This beeping pattern used for residential smoke alarms, is named the Temporal-Three alarm signal, and often referred to as “T-3”. Most all UL Listed smoke sensors manufactured for residential use after 1999, will produce these T-3 tones/beeps that will trigger the Abode Smoke Alarm Monitor sensor, except for the talking Alarm sensors which may not produce the T-3 tones/beeps.

For complete coverage, we advise pairing one smoke alarm monitor with every ceiling-mounted smoke/co monitor in your home.

Yes, the Smoke Alarm Monitor must be paired to an Abode hub to function so that it can send alerts to system users and the professional monitoring center in the event of an active fire or carbon monoxide event.

The Smoke Alarm Monitor uses a 3V CR123A lithium battery and should last about 4 years under normal operating conditions. You will receive multiple notifications for low battery to prevent it from fully dying and the battery is easily replaced.
