Looking to upgrade the smoke detectors in a 1400 sq foot 3br house. I think I’ll need 4 of them. I’d like something that is easy to silence when I’m cooking, and can alert me to problems when I’m not there.

Google Nest Protect is recommended, but at > $100 per each they are quite expensive.

Worth it?

    I think so for peace of mind more so when you’re not home. What’s also nice about the nests is they interlink (communicate) wirelessly so any existing hardwired units can talk with additional battery units; if you wanted to add elsewhere. They’re smoke/co and you have no choice otherwise so your existing setup with just smokes in the bedroom and smoke/co in common areas is even ‘safer?’.
