I have to install intermeshed smoke detectors to meet the requirements of a building consent. I would prefer not to have to replace them every 10 years (for economic and environmental reasons) so am considering installing a house alarm system hard wiring smoke detectors into it.


My questions are:

1. Is this compliant with Auckland Council requirements?

2. Has anyone done this? Are there any issues or opportunities you experienced?

3. Does anyone have a product recommendation that would serve my purpose?

4. Any other relevant comments


Thanks in advance

Ian
