Hello. I have 2 Nest smoke alarms and a Nest Thermostat. I also have a Simon Interlogix LTE home alarm system with the Alarm.com App on my phone. I do not have live monitoring with Fire/Police at this time, but might add monitoring in the future. My question is, is there a way to connect my Nest Smoke alarms to my home alarm system so if I add live monitoring it would notify the Fire Department.
The Nest smoke detector is not directly compatible with the Simon panel. However, as the Nest Smoke should produce a temporal 3 cadence (T3) upon activation, it may be possible to utilize an Interlogix FireFighter to send a signal from the Nest smoke to the Simon XT/XTi.
While I have not attempted this pairing before, the FireFighter monitors the alarm cadence of existing UL smoke detectors. When an alarm is detected, a signal is sent to the control panel which would then notify central monitoring station (if utilized).
You would only need one FireFighter if all smokes are interconnected.
