Re: AC Smoke interconnection

[Jim Rojas <jrojas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess you can, but I would suggest a 10-20 seconds delayed fire loop
response at the panel. AC smokes can trigger on voltage drops & spikes.
You might also want to install a separate relay to signal trouble in
case the smokes lose power altogether.

I myself would rather install wireless smokes & thermostats.
