Hello, I have the IQ2+ panel and currently utilize Nest smoke detectors, which obviously don’t integrate with the panel. Which one do you recommend that does smoke & CO? From my understanding when the detector goes off it only sounds the alarm and alerts me, but doesn’t contact central monitoring right? Do any compatible ones have a path light that lights up with motion like the nest sensor? Thanks!
Depending on what panel u have the 319 version can use either Iq smoke or Powerg Personally I recommend powerg smokes because how ever many u have if ones goes they all go but they don’t make any currently to my acknowledgment that Is smoke and co I wish they did but they don’t reguarding the monitoring side of things if the smoke or co detector goes off they will either contact u by 2 way voice or call u if u don’t answer either one they will dispatch the monitoring center if u have central station monitoring

Looks like you have a 345Mhz version of the IQ Panel 2+. You would want a 345Mhz or PowerG smoke detector.

You can automate any Z-wave lights connected to your system based on alarm signals. So if the smoke detector trips you can turn on any Z-wave lights in the house (I have mine set this way)
Thanks! So no smoke/co combo that work with my 345 model?
I’m not sure if the Honeywell 5800 series smoke and co detector would work or not since u have a 345 panel

There is a Honeywell 5800Combo as the other poster here suggested, but a couple caveats:
- It will probably work, but it is not on the officially supported sensors list.
- It is expensive. It is more expensive than just getting an individual Smoke Detector and CO detector in most cases.
Wow, no kidding on that price. Thanks!
