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 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.

+1. For a garage, [**fema.gov** does NOT recommend smoke detector, but does recommend heat detector](https://www.usfa.fema.gov/prevention/outreach/garage_fires.html). On the package of [ring.com's smoke/CO sensor](https://ring.com/products/alarm-smoke-co-listener?_pos=1&_sid=1671b1633&_ss=r) disclaims that it does NOT detect fire, which I like the honesty. I'm having a trouble in understanding though the search feature on ring's shopping automatically converts when I type in "fire" to "smoke".

Has anyone tried a 3rd-party Z-Wave Heater Detector, like the Climax HD-9ZW?

SI purchased battery operated fire angel brand heat detectors for the kitchen and the utility room and then placed a listener next to each alarm. Heat detector has a 10 year life and easily triggers the ring listener. These are European alarms so it will not be an overnight delivery. The heat sensor price was very reasonable. No false alarms when cooking.

UHi. I was thinking of doing the same thing. Purchase heat rise detectors for garage, attic, and kitchen. The. Purchase ring listeners. How did this work for you. Also anyone else find heat rise sensors they liked for the price or any other tips, suggestions welcome. Thanks!

I know this is an old topic but I second this request. A max temp and rise-rate sensor is a must for a garage where car exhaust could cause false alarms. I'd also use such a device in my workshop, where dust or fumes might set off a regular smoke detector.

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.
