Summary
- Kidde's new smart smoke alarm uses two AA batteries for flexible placement.
- The device connects directly to Wi-Fi and the Ring app without a hub.
- It is Kidde's first battery-only smart smoke and CO alarm in collaboration with Ring.
Kidde has officially launched its first battery-operated smart smoke and carbon monoxide alarm, a product resulting from its ongoing collaboration with Ring. Previously, smart smoke alarms from Kidde required hardwiring, limiting installation options for consumers who preferred battery-powered devices.
The new Kidde Ring Smart Smoke + CO Alarm operates on two AA batteries, included in the package. This design offers significant installation flexibility, allowing users to place the detector in various locations within their homes. Kidde provides guidance on optimal placement, advising against installation near heating appliances or sources of direct weather exposure.
