I might add that never alerting my phone was the worst thing simply because it was the only reason to buy a Protect. A regular smoke detector continues to detect smoke just fine.

This has been a problem with I think literally every IoE type device I've tried. I'm in Australia so I assume the reason is that everyone buys some AWS service in America, and 500ms of latency hits and server load means stuff times out in the end.

Which seems to suggest some bad things about the ability of the designers of these things to build a robust product and forsee obvious problems.
