Ring Heat Sensor for attic or basement
Ring should make a heat sensor that can be used for fire monitoring / protection with Ring Protect. Some home insurance companies (seems like the better/more stringent ones) require monitored heat sensors in attics and mechanicals rooms. Ideally, this new heat sensor should be powered by battery to avoid costly electrical work required to hard wire this type of sensor.

I think I have a different solution maybe better. I bought a First Alert BRK 3120B smoke alarm and wired it to 120 V AC. It has battery backup and an orange wire used to signal multiple alarms when more than one of these alarms are used. I you connect 5V + DC to the orange wire and the neutral AC wire (green) the 3120 will sound. I hooked up all the heat sensors which have a NO (normally open contacts) together and used the NO contacts to connect the 5V - to the neutral wire. I used one of the keypads white 5V supply and wire, but any USB power supply will work. Then I bought a Ring Smoke CO listener and placed it 3" from the 3120B. If and heat sensor goes off the 3120B will sound and the listener will pick it up

Great idea !!! How about a response from Ring?? Excellent tinkering suggestions. Problem is that I'm older now and have so many weekend like projects like hooking up heat sensors to water sensor etc. I just want give Ring my money. If not Ring, then another alarm company. This is a real oversight!!!! Shame on me for not recognizing this when I chose Ring.

I have the same question/request. Most fire departments and smoke detector companies will tell you not to install a CO/Smoke detector in the garage, a heat detector option for furnace rooms and garages would be a very good thing. Honeywell and others provide it.

Will Ring Protect know it's a fire because you labeled it as such or will they just think its water. I would want the fire dept. dispatched if I'm not home or out of the country not a plumber. Thanks Steve
