Monitored smoke detectors have advantages over unmonitored detectors. Monitored detectors can send alerts to your phone if smoke is detected, allowing you to know which specific detector was triggered. This is useful if you are away from home. However, unmonitored detectors are cheaper, with a cost savings of up to $11 per detector. In addition to smoke detectors, the document recommends installing carbon monoxide detectors, which can detect harmful levels of carbon monoxide and send alerts, protecting homeowners even if the security system is disarmed. Properly locating both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors can help save lives in the event of a fire or carbon monoxide leak.

1. All smoke detectors are life saving, but some are
better than others. Today we will be going over the
differences between Monitored vs Unmonitored smoke
detectors. First, let’s start with the benefits of Monitored
smoke detectors.
1. You Can Have Alerts Sent To Your Phone
Having a monitored smoke detector means that it is
connected to your security system. As with a security
system, you can have alerts sent to your phone so you
know if there is smoke present in that room. Also, if you
check your cameras, you can check to see if there if a real
fire, or if someone is just trying to fry some fish.
2. You Can Know Which Detector Is Triggered
Unlike an unmonitored smoke detector, your phone will tell
you which detector was triggered. Unmonitored smoke
detectors are all connected and you will not know which
room is in question. Also, if you are away from home, you
will not know if your house is on fire. You would have to
rely on your neighbors, or having to check your cameras
periodically.
Now, let’s get into the benefits of unmonitored smoke
detectors.
1. You Can Save Money

2. People love to save money. Some even go to extreme
measures to do it. The biggest benefit of having
unmonitored smoke detectors is that you can save some
money. Unmonitored smoke detectors can be as cheap as
$1.00. Monitored smoke detectors can be as cheap as
$12.00. It is not the biggest price difference, but it is still
money saved.
That is maybe the only benefit of having Unmonitored
thermostats. Overall, smart thermostats are better, but you
can get whatever you want.
Now, let’s talk about the specifics of our smart
thermostat.
The next generation of fire and freeze protection, this
sensor provides smoke detection, heat detection, and
freeze detection. This sensor is more customizable than
previous models. It allows separation of smoke, heat, and
freeze conditions, enabling the detection of one, two, or all
three. The sensor emits an 85-decibel alarm and triggers a
blin6`` king red LED light. The alarm also transmits a
signal to the Go!Control Panel, alerting you whether you
are home or away.
Another good thing to get along with your smoke
detector, is a carbon monoxide sensor. I know, this blog is
not about carbon monoxide sensors. But, this could save

3. your life and would go perfectly with a new smart
thermostat. Let’s talk about ours.
Features an internal siren which will sound, along with
the alarm panel’s built-in siren, when it detects harmful
levels of CO gas. It also sends a signal to our monitoring
center and alerts you through the app. This sensor
protects you regardless of whether your security system
is armed or disarmed. While ideally located outside each
separate bedroom, a CO sensor should also be installed
on every floor and outside the furnace or boiler room.
Features a built-in 85-decibel alarm and a hush/test
button.
Getting a carbon monoxide sensor and a smoke
detector is a very life-saving combo. If you want to know
more about carbon monoxide, check out our blog about
the subject titled Carbon Monoxide: The Silent Killer.
There, it will give you much more information about carbon
monoxide, what it can do, how to prevent it, and gives a
real life example of how it can be so deadly.
That is all you need to know about smoke detectors
and carbon monoxide sensors. I hope this information is
