I have a house with several hardwired First Alert smoke detectors (Model No 9120B). When one of these detectors goes off, they all sound off due to the hardwired connection.
I’m looking for a way to connect these detectors to my IQ Panel 4 so that I can get notified if an alarm goes off while I’m away from home. Ideally, I’d like to replace just one of the detectors with a compatible hardwired model that can connect to my IQ Panel 4, allowing the whole system to be integrated with the smart panel.
Does anyone know of a hardwired detector that would work for this purpose, or if there’s another solution I could consider?
I also see this product. Would this be the only way to set up a system like this?

There are no AC powered hardwired detectors that communicate with the IQ Panel.
The Firefighter you linked is what you would need.
That is an audio detector that gets mounted near one of the wired smoke detectors. Whenever the circuit is tripped and the sirens sound, the Firefighter triggers the fire alarm on the alarm panel.
@jwcsurety I purchased and installed the ‘SLX-AD-T3’.
I got it connected, however, I can’t seem to get it to trigger when I click the test button on my smoke detector/s. Is there a smoke/fire setting I need to turn on somewhere else?
The smoke detector siren will need to activate for a bit of time, about 8-10 seconds to run through two series of the sounder alerting. Hold the detector test button down to continue activating. Any change?
Is it mounted within 6 inches of that smoke detector?
