QUICK SUMMARY
SimpliSafe has launched its new Smoke & CO Alarm Listener.
Designed to your present smoke and CO detectors, the SimpliSafe Smoke & CO Alarm Listener connects them to SimpliSafe’s system for higher monitoring and alerts.
If you may have a pre-existing smoke or CO detector, you most likely don’t wish to go to the difficulty of putting in a brand new machine to attach along with your good house devices. Well, fortunate for you, SimpliSafe has addressed this problem with its new Smoke & CO Alarm Listener.
The SimpliSafe Smoke & CO Alarm Listener is designed to combine your present smoke and CO detectors – no matter model – with SimpliSafe’s ecosystem for higher monitoring, detection and notifications. While you will get good smoke alarms, this useful new gadget from SimpliSafe means you don’t have to switch your non-smart one to introduce it to your good house ecosystem.
How the SimpliSafe Smoke & CO Alarm Listener works is it has a built-in microphone that listens for your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors’ sound patterns.
When it detects a noise, the SimpliSafe Smoke & CO Alarm Listener identifies the threat and signals to the SimpliSafe Base Station to send you a notification. It can also trigger a rapid emergency response for any serious threats.

Essentially, the new SimpliSafe Smoke & CO Alarm Listener expands the monitoring coverage of your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, so you’re always in the know about any issues or hazards – rather than just relying on noise, which isn’t helpful if you’re not at home.
The SimpliSafe Smoke & CO Alarm Listener works with UL-certified residential smoke and CO alarms. It’s also quick and easy to install with its wireless set-up, and has a battery life which can last up to three years.
The SimpliSafe Smoke & CO Alarm Listener is available to buy for $44.99 at SimpliSafe. As of writing, pricing and availability hasn’t been confirmed within the UK.
