Re: House 110V smoke

You must use the manufacturer's approved relay for any interconnection to
your household smoke alarms.  This relay is most likely also UL Listed for
the purpose of providing an output from those specific interconnected smoke
alarms.  Otherwise you'll have to try and source a relay based detector
that's compatible with your existing smoke alarms.  DO NOT "Mickey Mouse" or
"jury rig" something you think "might work".
