Installed these in my condo about 6 months ago - along with the Nest thermostat. So sweet - even detecting when you're away from home.

Yup, that is part of the reason I got them along with my smoke+co detector expiring 2016. Works great so far and the night light is handy when I walk by without turning on the light so I stop walking into the railing.

My thermostat is in a poor location for detecting motion so I figure this will help the auto-away a bit combined with the thermostat and phone location (This works perfect with the indoor cam but not the thermostat for some reason). I just need to go buy one more for my basement and then an outdoor cam when it releases in the fall/

Aren't the carbon monoxide detectors supposed to be near the floor, and smoke on the ceiling? Do they get around that somehow with the all-in-one?

It's not heavier than air so no you can mount it on the ceiling.

carbon monoxide's specific gravity is 0.9657

Interesting. I guess that's a myth. Even in our building parkades, the commercial looking carbon monoxide sensors are hard-wired right at the floor.

I'd always been told the floor as well. This guy's explanation seems to make sense:

If the one's in your building detect things other than carbon monoxide then that makes sense. Some gasses of concern are heavier than air and will displace air... NO^2 being one of the gasses of concern when dealing with diesel engines.

Parking Garage Commonly Monitored Gasses
Carbon Monoxide
Nitric Oxide
Nitrogen Dioxide
Methane
Liquefied Petroleum Gas
Hydrogen

There is one right on the bottom of a post beside my car so I look at it all the time, it's just carbon monoxide and it's hard wired into a concrete piece that is part of the building structure - not something someone just added. It's probably 1 foot off the ground or so. Definitely looks like something done "to code" or whatever is needed for large parkades.

Could be for people who already had smoke detectors and then wanted CO, it was easiest to just buy the plugin style and use an existing outlet than install a new smoke detector.

Getting the box liner put in today, detailed tomorrow, and delivery on Friday.

2016 F-150 XLT with FX4 sport package and 302a in shadow black with black interior and tow package. Didn't opt for max tow as it only really nets me 2000 lbs capacity, and this truck is rated for 10,200 lbs.

*EDIT* OH YEAH! STILL 3.5l ECOBOOOOOOOOST BABY

I raced a 3.5 Ecoboost in my POS Civic si and it was pretty much a tie. Your Accord will pull on him hard when Vtec kicks in.

Nothing crazy. Employee pricing and I got a couple extras thrown in.
