Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 We are in the process of putting in new smoke alarms as we are putting an addition on our home. The smoke alarms for us now have to be hardwired. We are having difficuly finding a company alarm that we can hard wired into the rest of our homes system. We plan only to have one alarm(that is strobe and sound) upstairs and another of the strobe and sound downstairs. The rest of the alarms will be the usual kind. Different companys will not guarrentee that you can interface the alarms for the HOH into their system. This means you would have to use all alarms for the HOH and these cost much more! Another issue we have encountered is that the alarm only uses a strobe light and if you want it to sound alarm you have to buy additional parts to do so. At least with the First Alert sytem, which is what we had purchased before we knew it was going to be a complicated matter for the electrition Our house is not ready for the smoke alarm system yet so I dont know yet how things will work out.
