I installed this 4 years ago and I love everything about. Install was smooth and easy. It integrates to Alexa/Ring perfectly. I accidentally blew my vape very close to it and it immediately went off. Alarm is extremely loud - loud enough to hear throughout the house. Even so, every Alexa in the house started yelling at me, in case there is a room far enough away that you couldn't hear it. Additionally, I immediately got a phone call from Ring, asking if they should send emergency services.
I don't know that I should even voice my annoyance with an event. All Echo devices go to a 10 volume and the alarm itself is LOUD, so in an accidental activation, I found myself frantically screaming 'ALEXA STOP!!!' but could not be heard over the alarm. I struggled for a few seconds to stop the alarm using the button on the actual device. In the meantime, I answer my ringing phone to tell them not to send 911 but they couldn't hear me until I managed to stop the chaos. To end it all, after I told them "There is no fire", they called my secondary contact to confirm. That would be a nice feature if the alarm on the keypad were pressed by a DV victim, but for my smoke alarm going off, it seemed a bit unnecessary.
Still, 10/10!!!
