Ratings and reviews

I continue to notice the random beeps including the middle of the night. When I hear the beep if I open the Kidde app in time, I do in fact see the "device offline" status for one of my smoke detectors and then shortly thereafter it reconnects. It should not beep like that during a WiFi blip. It should send a notification through the app (which it currently does NOT do), but it absolutely should NOT beep. I've reached out to support multiple times about this issue with no response.

The devices lose connection all the time. I have 2 devices and both lose connection almost daily. it is not an issue with the wifi. These are the only devices that seem to have a problem. Neither are connected now and one has not established a connection in over a day. The other went out overnight. When they work, I do like them, but they only work properly about 70% of the time.

We've been having several false alarms each week since our new Kidde alarms were installed, and are working with an electrician to try to figure out the problem if we can. It would be nice if the alarm notifications were more prominent in the phone, rather than having to open the app to find them. I'm mostly impressed otherwise at how the app has been working, and that you can reset the alarm by assuring the app that you have addressed the problem.
