Smart Smoke Alarms Still Leave a Dangerous Gap, and That Has Become the Real Story
Testing cited by WIRED found that smart smoke alarms typically rely on photoelectric sensors alone, improving connectivity but often leaving out ionization detection for fast-burning fires.
Key Takeaways
- WIRED says tested smart smoke alarms used photoelectric sensors but not ionization sensors.
- Photoelectric detection helps with smoldering fires, while ionization matters for fast-burning fires.
