Kidde fire and smoke detectors (some of our favorites) now work with the Ring security app at CES 2025, and Ring's got a new monitoring plan to match.

While smoke and fire are always top-of-the-list for a smoke detector’s priorities, the best smart smoke detectors can detect many hazards, including carbon monoxide, natural gas, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and radon. Some of the most advanced models can even monitor for fluctuations in temperature, humidity, and air quality.

Ring is branching out beyond the best video doorbells and home security cameras into another area of home safety: Fire prevention. The company announced that it's partnering with Kidde to launch a new smart smoke detector that will alert Ring customers in the event of a fire or smoke event in their home.

The smart home security specialists at Ring have partnered with Kidde, a leader in the fire protection business since 1917, to develop a pair of new home safety devices that operate in the Ring ecosystem.

When protecting your home and loved ones, smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detection are essential. Kidde, a leading name in fire safety, has teamed up with Ring, a pioneer in smart home security, to introduce a cutting-edge line of Smart Smoke and Combination Alarms.
