Smoke alarms are essential devices that provide you and your loved ones with a warning to exit your home in the event of a fire. New smoke alarms offer helpful features that provide you with additional safety benefits. One of those features is the ability to connect to your home’s Wi-Fi network. By connecting the smoke alarms to your Wi-Fi, you can get an alert on your smartphone if the smoke alarm is activated. If you are at work, school or on a vacation, a text alert from the smoke alarm would give you the opportunity to call for emergency help from the fire department.
An alert on your phone could also be helpful if there are members of your family at home asleep, and they sleep through the noise of the alarm. If you are at work when the smoke alarms go off, you could call 911 or another emergency services number and call your family members in an attempt to rouse them and safely get them out of the house.
Smoke alarms can also be hardwired into your home’s electrical system. This is convenient because the alarms will not start to beep if they have a low battery. There will be no batteries to change. When you wire the smoke detectors into your home’s electrical system, they will all go off at the same time when one of the alarms detects the presence of smoke. This is important if a fire starts on one level of the structure and your family is on another level. For example, a fire in the clothes dryer in the basement would trigger the smoke alarms.
