Blackwire Designs has announced a strategic partnership with home fire safety brand Kidde. Through this agreement, Blackwire will carry Kidde’s latest line of Ring-integrated smart smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, providing professional integrators with a solution that bridges the gap between legacy hardware and modern app connectivity.
As homeowners increasingly demand environments that unify security, video, and safety, this partnership allows dealers to source trusted fire protection from the same distributor they rely on for automation and networking hardware. The collaboration centers on next-generation detection technology designed to react to smoke significantly faster and with more precision than previous standards. These offerings include the Smart Smoke + CO Alarm and the standalone Smart Smoke Alarm, available in a hardwired configuration with a battery-powered version coming soon.
The integration with the Ring ecosystem allows dealers to design complete safety systems managed through a single, familiar interface. Both models enable the delivery of real-time notifications for smoke, carbon monoxide, and low battery warnings directly to a user’s mobile device. For clients seeking maximum protection, these devices also support optional 24/7 professional monitoring and emergency dispatch through a compatible Ring subscription.
This product line offers a distinct advantage for retrofit projects, as installing just one Kidde smart alarm can bring mobile connectivity to an entire existing network of interconnected Kidde hardwired devices. This capability, combined with enhanced sensing technology that minimizes cooking-related nuisance alarms, ensures that dealers can deliver high-reliability systems while reducing unnecessary service calls.
