What products sound if smoke is detected?

I have quite a few First Alert model # zcombo units in my home (https://ring.com/products/first-alert-zwave-smoke-co-alarm-combo-gen2) If one detects smoke, what exactly alarms/sounds? 1. Zcombo Alarm itself? I am assuming yes. 2. Other zcombo alarms? It seems no, they are not interconnected. 3. Base station? 4. Keypads? 5. Wireless Chimes ? 6. Dome siren (https://ring.com/products/dome-siren)? 7. Cameras/any other Ring devices? Is there any way to test without causing a smoke situation? I am curious how often the zcombo connects to the Ring system and how I can know if one is out of range / not connecting, especially because they are not interconnected. Thank you.

    Hi @user32431. This Help Center article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402673268116-Understanding-Smoke-Alarms-with-Ring-Alarm-Professional-Monitoring) has a bit more information about the Smoke/CO alarm. In addition to the Base Station and Keypad sounding, you can also enable select [Amazon Alexa devices](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/4524869247124-Play-Alarm-Sounds-on-Echo-Devices) to play as well. The Ring Alarm sends out a heartbeat check to all accessories connected to the Base Station every 90 minutes. This communication will also update the signal strength. If something has a low signal, it will let you know via the Ring app. You may need to move a Range Extender around to establish a strong connection. I hope this information is helpful.
