Ring Alarm
Glass break sensor also listen for smoke/CO2 alarms?
Can the glass break sensor also serve duty as an alarm smoke & CO2 listener? If I position the glass break sensor in an ideal location for detecting broken glass AND near a smoke/CO2 detector, can it also alert us if the smoke/CO2 alarms go off? Thanks!

Hi @USRing. You are correct that the Glass Break Sensor cannot listen for Smoke or CO alarms. The [Ring Alarm Smoke & CO Listener](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000705083-Ring-Alarm-Smoke-CO-Listener-Information) can listen to your existing wired smoke and CO alarm, or you can also use the [First Alert Z-Wave Smoke/CO Alarm Combo](https://ring.com/products/first-alert-zwave-smoke-co-alarm-combo-gen2) and connect it to the Ring app. Lastly, if you have a compatible Alexa device, you can use [Alexa Guard](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028205592-Using-Alexa-Guard-with-Ring-Devices-to-Detect-Broken-Glass-Smoke-and-Carbon-Monoxide) to listen for the sounds of a smoke alarm, carbon monoxide alarm, or glass breaking. I hope this information is helpful! :)

Contacted support directly via chat - the glass break sensor will NOT also detect smoke/CO2 alarms going off. Too bad, it'd be nice to have 1 less device to buy ...
