Howdy folks - Looking for your thought on smoke detector locations. In my FUZION 416, they factory installed one on ceiling in hall going to bath/bedrooms & another in the bedroom on the wall above the exit window. The reason I'm asking is I'm installing smoke detectors from SimpliSafe so that fire dept can automatically be dispatched when I'm away from home. Now to me the one in the hall is positioned correctly, but why the 2nd 10' away, over the exit window? They also completely neglected the 16' garage, not sure why.

Is there a door frame between the hallway and the bedroom? If so, in case of a fire in the bedroom, the detector inside the bedroom will catch smoke before the smoke would have a chance to duck under the top of the door frame and make it to the one in the hallway. As far as a detector not being put in the garage, I don't know if gas fumes affect smoke detectors, but with SimpliSafe you can add one, of course.
I guess you will update your service address with SimpliSafe every time you move?
