Just where is the line drawn in old and new work?
What minimum work requires the addition of these old-work smoke detectors?
Do they have an ordinance specifying that renovations over $xxxx must retrofit ... ?
Are there any smoke detectors that interconnect with an FM signal (like wireless doorbell)?
In fact, this is a fine idea.
The RF signal could even be sent over the electrical wire.
But isn't the inspector going to make you put all the smoke detectors on dedicated circuits too?
A smoke detector
in every floor?
