The alarm.com smoke detectors are $50 and also last 10 years. You're paying a lot for a Google badge that doesn't even contact the fire department with the base setup.

When a smoke detector goes off, I've got my system set to: 1) Turn off HVAC/heat 2) Unlock exterior doors 3) Turn on lights 4) Flush syncs of any local data to remote sources

What's the google price tag for again? Initially it was worthwhile for the panicky waving motion to cancel alarms. But then they removed that.
