I needed to replace my old ac smoke detectors anyways.
I also have CO detectors mounted on the AC outlet as thats the best way to detect CO.

In a previous thread it was stated that is just a myth, having them on the ceiling is fine. Now I have to go do some googling to find the truth.

Manufacturer specs suggest placement on upper walls and ceiling at least 6" away from their intersection (corners). Science says smoke tends to roll away from flat surfaces as it reaches a corner.

Expensive but code is smoke , co and strobe interconnected needed on new builds, so I just added those when I renovated.

If just replacing then these are good for the price

Depending on your area, nest does not meet code as it does not have a strobe.

It was an easy swap, it came with 3 adapters for other brands. I used the raw end and did a clean rewiring. just like changing a light fixture. Came with 2 AA batteries as backup, versus 9 volts in all of my other detectors. $19 cant go wrong.
