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.

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.

Definitely this is one thing that immediately needs added to the Ring lineup! Also, need a 195 or 205 degree version for attics.

We have some good friends whose house was struck by lightning about 2:20 AM. The noise woke them, but they thought it was just a near strike and went back to sleep. Little did they know that the strike had started an attic fire (where lightning strike fires often occur) which raged in the attic above their heads for three hours while they slept. The fire finally broke through ceiling drywall enough that smoke entered their living space and triggered a smoke alarm. They all managed to get out alive, but it was a close call. The house is nearly a total loss. I realize this request for an attic heat alarm is over two years old. My hope is that someone has solved this issue and has found an attic heat sensor that works with Ring. If anyone has ideas, please share. Thank you!

+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".
