I’ve found a number of resources on integrating existing hard-wired smoke and CO alarms using a relay and a Zwave module. This guide in particular was quite thorough: https://community.smartthings.com/t/integrating-kidde-smoke-co-sensors-into-smartthings-properly/53641
The issue I am having is I have combination smoke/CO alarms that I would like to get distinct signals from… I assume I can connect a single Kidde relay with a Zwave module and I’d get a notification for an alarm whether it is smoke or CO… BUT, if possible I’d like to get a distinct notification depending on the type of alarm… I know Kidde makes both a smoke and a CO relay, but I’m assuming I couldn’t just connect both of these to a single combination detector and hope they trigger individually… I’m operating under the assumption that these relays operate on simple voltage output… but I haven’t played with them myself so I was hoping somebody on these forums has.
Is there an easy way to get a distinct signal to tell the difference between a smoke or a CO alarm? Anyone have any experience playing with this type of setup?
Thanks in advance!
