SS 2 in 1 Smoke and CO vs SS Smoke and separate CO detector?
I want to add additional CO detection to my home. What has been the user experience with the new SS 2 in 1 Smoke and CO detector? Should I get some of those or just get the gen3 SS Smoke detectors and another vendor's CO detectors? Thanks for any input on this. Dave

@dave_6393f6 I purchased one and added to our upstairs hallway. I have 3 CO sensors and six of the original smoke. Footprint is significantly smaller, easy install and so far no issues. As my other sensors, all purchased in 2017-2019, reach the end of their useful lives I will convert to the new 2 in 1. BTW, on the topic of new hardware, the new SA lifeguard cameras are awesome, but I do give a thumbs down on the new Gen2 motion sensor. My reviews are in another thread on those.
Finally, which one to get is really what you need. For my money, paying a little extra and having both in each bedroom may be over doing it, but for my family's safefy, having the smoke and CO in each room is a good idea. (if you want and can spend a bit more).
