Ratings and reviews

Good device, relatively ugly app. If I could change just one thing, it would be to always show both my smoke detectors instead of showing 1 and having to click show-more in order to see the 2nd one (super lame). My second request would be to allow dark-mode like all other modern apps. That would be way less ugly. 3rd, I should be able to customize notifications and tvoc level that triggers them. EDIT: No I only have one house, with 2 smoke detectors. Both under one house, but just one shown.

About to return. Update: Firmware completed on Smoke/CO2 detector next morning after writing review. New issue: Water + Freeze detector refuses to connect. Trying both with QR and Manual, red battery light blinks twice and then app claims my Bluetooth isn't enabled when in fact it is (Wi-Fi also enabled). On very first attempt, got so far as to area of house but Property wasn't listed as option on account. Properly 'resetting' w/o batteries for over 30 seconds.

Loved the fire alarms and leak detectors, but recently purchased more leak detectors and they have been frustrating for them to get connected to my phone. They show up under available Bluetooth devices but app acts like they aren't there. I've restarted my phone, reinstalled the application, and factory reset the device. One of them randomly connected when I tried out of desperation. Contacted Kidde and they sent me a new one with different firmware that worked so must be a firmware issue.
