Ring Alarm

Looking for a hardwired smoke/co2 alarm compatible with ring.
Has anyone else found a hardwired smoke/co2 alarm that works with ring? I do not want to add a "listener" that I have to change batteries in.

And they are battery. My daughter has those on her Ring Alarm. If you self-monitor it makes no difference, the Ring App handles the notifications. If you are centrally monitored then either the $$5/mo or Professional plans will handle. Don't worry about how they connect - the Ring App hides all that. Worry about the features you want and how your get response.

Just installed 8 of the new (released April 2025 in Home Depot only) Kidde Smart Smoke/CO detectors for Ring. AC, interconnected, WiFi, and battery backup. They do not show up natively in Alarm but if you have Professional Alarm monitoring, they are monitored. They set up in the Ring App just like a Ring-branded product using QR codes. If you are self-monitoring alarm, you can get $5/mo monitoring as a stand-alone. I accidentally tripped the already-installed alarms while installing a new unit and the central station was on the phone within 15 seconds. Fastest reponse I have EVER had from ADT, Honeywell, and several other companies I have used at residence or commercially for 40 years. They dispatch immediately on a CO alarm, and call to verify on fire alarm unless you instruct immediate dispatch on any alarm. Shows up in the Ring App so for all intents and purposes you do not need to know or care if it is "connected" to alarm. We also use Alexa Emergency Response ("Alexa, call for help!") which allows your compatible echo devices to operate as Smoke/CO and Glass Break listerners. VERY easy setup on all with decent online video tutorials from Ring. Very happy that I have finally abandoned my 30 year old wired system on alarm, and very happy with new Kidde alarms which replaced Nest Protects - discontinued like so much else in the Nest product line. At present, they are only available from Home Depot. Seem to be selling fast - AND - Assembled in China go get them before they are tariffed!

Hi @user_5a299d. The First Alert Z-Wave Plus Smoke/CO Alarm is the only third-party smoke/co alarm compatible with the Ring Alarm that connects to the Base Station wirelessly. https://ring.com/products/first-alert-zwave-smoke-co-alarm-combo-gen2
