Great feedback on the smoke detectors! Thanks!

I like the idea of separating the outbuilding on another partition (if
that is the correct term) and installing a keypad just inside the
outbuilding door. That is an awesome idea! From a technical
perspective, I can grasp the general idea of separating the area;
however, from an alarm perspective, I am not sure how to spec/order
the right expansion module that will provide that level of coverage
and remotely power a siren too. I suppose a little more research and
we will be good to go. Bob, I see you also sell alarm systems. I may
contact you via telephone to discuss further, if you do not mind.
