99View at Newegg$149. 95View at Dell?Comes in a two packShort warrantyThe Asante Smoke Detector kit comes with two smoke detectors, making it one of the more affordable smart smoke detectors available. However, its lackluster performance in our detection tests and lack of carbon monoxide detection keep it from being the best. Installing this device was frustrating and took over an hour, longer than reasonable for a smart home device, but in the end, you have a functional and convenient system – especially if you buy other smart home devices made by Asante. Unfortunately, you can’t use Asante smoke detectors with any third party smart home systems. The warranty on this smoke detector is only one year with a detector lifetime of five years, both of which are the shortest in our comparison.

5. Actually, a dog can be an entire family’s security guard. With an impeccable sense of smell and sensitive ears, dogs can be aware of a threat long before you. Sure, they do the adorable thing of wagging their tails and running around the house when a loved one pulls into the driveway, but they can also do the very helpful thing of growling, barking, and sounding the alarm when a not so loved individual shows up. That being said, dogs are just four legged friends in the end and are capable of human error—or, rather, canine error. Here are ways dogs help and hinder home security.

First is the concept of the smart battery: Rather than replace the entire alarm, a smart battery simply replaces the 9 volt cell inside your smoke detector. The battery contains a Wi Fi radio that can communicate with your home network and a companion smartphone app. The battery also includes a microphone that listens for the smoke alarm into which it has been installed. When the alarm goes off, the battery leaps into action and handles the “smart” side of things, working much like a standalone detector. At present, there is only one smart battery on the market: the Roost Smart Battery. It’s not a perfect solution, but at just $35, it’s much more affordable than a standalone smart smoke detector.
