connect external garage to smoke alarm system

Featured Replies

I'm converting my external garage to a studio and want to install smoke alarm that will be audible from the house. Our house has wired in smoke alarms. Not sure if it would be possible to connect to same circuit? What do you advise? Thanks

Hi Alice, there are numerous ways for the different smoke alarm systems to be connected to an external building, eg garage. As long as the distance to the garage is less than let's say 20-30m the easiest option is to replace one of your internal mains powered smoke alarms with the radio interlinked version of that product family and fit another rf model (of the same product family) in the garage. Can you please send a photo or description of your current alarms and I will recommend the extension model you need.
