We're at the first fix stage for wiring up mains smoke alarms and heat detectors as part of a large renovation of a sizable house. Pretty much every room will have a detector (our choice).
1. Whichever interlinked smoke / heat alarm we go for, am I right in thinking that if one goes off, then they all go off? If so, then does deactivating the alarm in one room also stop the sounder in all other rooms?
2. Is it a bad idea to have a mains smoke alarm in each room like I have done for the purpose of false alarms etc? I suppose most false alarms are due to the olden days when wrong detectors were fitted near or in the kitchen and burnt toast scenarios occurred and as long as heat detectors are used, then low probability of them occurring now?
3. What products can do both Co2 and smoke or heat?
4. Can any provide an alarm notification to a smart phone e.g. I guess Nest and Hive probably do but any more?
5. With approx. 15 in the house, will these need to be replaced at some point or are they good for 20 off years. I recall that the cheapo ones need replacing every 10Y or so.
Thanks.
