"Remote" smoke alarm

[SteveKG]

We have an attached greenhouse with our RAIS stove in it for those extra-cold nights. Solar-heated room, so no backup except the stove. Maybe a couple dozen nights a year, I run that stove; in a bad winter, more than that, of course. What I would like to find is a smoke alarm I can put out there but have the actual alarm sound inside the main house; I'd set it about thirty feet from the detector. This is because our bedroom is at the opposite end of the house from the greenhouse room and we would never hear an alarm in our sleep. Is there such a device with wireless or even hard-wired remote alarm option?

I have that stove set up with double-walled [DSP] pipe, plus steel heat shields even though the stove is triple-walled [with air spaces]. Still, lying in bed thinking about the possibility of a fire.....

Thanks for any recommendations. By the way, I only have 12-volt power wired into that room, and I could run 120 v. if needed. But the easiest option would be a battery-powered detector or one which could run off 12 v.

Thanks for any ideas.

Why not wireless? You might need several to get the signal to the other end of the house. I got a wireless unit that ties into the hardwired system in the house. It's all by BRK (First Alert).

I bet you could just take a standard battery powered smoke alarm and add another peiezo buzzer wired in parallel. Put the second buzzer in the house somewhere you can hear it.

Something like this as mentioned by VelvetFoot might work . . . if one goes off, they all go off.

We have two fire alarm systems in our house, both which do what you would like to do. One system is a typical commercial hardwired system, although I cannot remember the brand, they're sold by the same companies that sell exit signs, fire extinguishers, etc. The other system is part of our monitored alarm system, made by GE Home Security, and uses wireless smoke and fire alarms. When one signals, they all do, and signal the monitoring company as well.

Oh, we have a third system... two dogs who go absolutely NUTS anytime a smoke alarm goes off. They're the lowest up-front cost, but the highest maintenance requirement of the three systems.

Your local fire/alarm company should have some options.

I have the Kidde interconnected wireless alarms on each of the three floors, in the garage and the generator shed. One goes, they all go and the place sounds like somebody hit a slot machine in Vegas. Somebody a block away might sleep through it but...

Additionally, I'm seeing pretty good life on the AA batteries in the BRKs-like one year.
