RE: VO Accessible Wi-Fi Smoke Detectors

2023-12-24 Thread Sieghard Weitzel 
That can be said for many so-called “smart” things. You can get a perfectly 
good deadbolt for your front door for $50 or something like that yet people 
including me spend $200 or $300 for a smart lock.
To each their own, our smoke alarms at my retail store connect via Zigby or 
some such thing to the Alarm.com panel I have and they are very inexpensive. I 
haven’t even checked lately if any other company apart from Nest/Google has 
something like it, but there must be something out there other than the old 
Nest ones..

not until they are more common and the prices go down.

I can think of several reasons why a wi-fi connected smoke alarm would be 
useful. You could check the status of the battery, be notified when the device 
needs to be replaced, perform an self test and get notified when the alarm goes 
off even if you aren’t at home. Obviously none of these are needed.

Re: VO Accessible Wi-Fi Smoke Detectors

2023-12-24 Thread Richard Turner 
I was curious, so I did a web search for Wi-Fi smoke detectors and f∀ a few 
reviews that pointed out that their are not very many, and that if you are not 
at home, it can send a message to your phone ... and some have the ability to 
put one in each room and then it can even alert you to which room the fire has 
started. These sound very expensive. Some can be hard wired or have a ten year 
battery. Weather the app will be accessible is anyone's guess. That is a 
question for the manufacturer.

RE: VO Accessible Wi-Fi Smoke Detectors

2023-12-24 Thread M. Taylor 
Hello Debbie,

You ask an interesting question.

I’m not certain why you would want a smoke detector that has an accompanying 
app but I can tell you that Home Depot and Lowe’s sell smoke detectives that 
have voice responses built-in.

I have several throughout my home as I add more and mor as the older ones 
expire.

These models have user replaceable batteries and there is a test button on the 
unit that, when pressed, causes the unit to speak in a very loud and clear 
voice that tells you if the unit is in good working order.  When the battery is 
low, the unit will automatically repeatedly announce that the battery is low.  
Finally, and I hope you never need this, when smoke is detected, the unit makes 
a low loud noise and repeatedly says that smoke has been detected.

I absolutely love these models as the cost, per unit, is more than reasonable 
given the accessibility of the unit.  I think the last one I installed costs 
around $20.

Oh, and they have models that can be wired directly into the electricity system 
of the house, also.

A quick Amazon search will result in several different models being displayed 
but, as I said, for me, I just go over to my local big box home goods store and 
buy them as needed.
Mark

Hi All

Does anyone know which Wi-Fi smoke detectors have apps that are accessible with 
Voice Over?

Cheers and happy holidays.

No offense, but why does a smoke detector need to be accessible? They have 1 
purpose only, make a loud noise when they detect smoke.
