Wireless Smoke Detectors & Other Quest's., Please

[Robert11]

Hello:

I will be moving into a new residence that has the bedrooms fairly distant
from each other, and wish to add many new smoke detectors around the house.

My concern is that if one detector goes off in a remote part of the house,
it might be very difficult to hear it from where the master bedroom is
located.

I am familiar with the daisy-chaining of smoke detectors, but it would be
very hard for me to run wires between the rooms.

Therefore, I would like to know if anyone makes wireless (or possibly via
the X10 system) smoke detectors ?
(I prefer the ionization type, rather than the photoelectric)

If so, brands, models, etc. ?

Any thoughts on this, or other approaches to consider, would be most
appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob

What kind of alarm panel are you using? - this will determine what kind of wireless smokes you can have...and how many.

Not sure if they make a wireless smoke with built in sounders...that would sap a lot of power from the batteries, I'm thinkin'.

Robert,
Better off placing a couple strategically placed sirens about the place.
You will hear them.

Inovonic's smoke detectors have built-in sounders, and are one of the best
wireless detectors on the market. Check them out.

Hello:

(I prefer the ionization type, rather than the photoelectric)

Ionization?? For a residential application?? I'd "rethink" that decision!!

 

[Crash Gordon®]

ditto.

Hello:

Why ?

[Crash Gordon®]

There was a recent and lengthy discourse on the differences between ion v. photo smokes on this ng within the last week or so.

Hello:

Why ?

Unless you're storing a lot of gasoline in drums in the hallways of your
house (fast flaming fires), I'd suggest you stick with photo-electrics
(which are designed for slow, smouldering fires which you'll encounter in
most residential settings)...
