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?

    Worth it especially if you’re hardwired. We have a bunch and even added a few battery models to key spots in the house (electrical panel, closet with computer equipment, etc.)

    We had one false alarm from a LARGE burst of steam triggering one of them - wireless interconnect worked perfectly. It took a few minutes to register which one was triggered in the app but other than that they’re great.
