Replacing old smokes in old home, all are singles... two wire wiring in house only.

No code compliancy anything... totally out in the country.

Looking for dual sensor- ionization and photoelectric.

Very hard to find, all the info is so ******** filled w fluff showing smiling people ****.

Other than the above I prefer simple and inexpensive.. no blutooth strawberry pie kinda stuff wanted.

10 yr lithium batt would be good.

Anyone direct me?

Marc, I think (if I remember correctly) that you are sort of right. I was doing similar research last year but I was wanting interconnected dual sensor as I have a pretty big house. All I could find with interconnected were smoke and CO. However as mentioned by others there are plenty of dual sensor - but to my knowledge not any that "talk" to each other.

When you buy them you will find that the Contractor Pack will save you a few dollars over the single unit prices.

KIDDE Pi9010 Dual Sensor smoke detector.

Keep in mind ANY photo electric smoke detector will need the batteries changed more often than a ionization smoke detector.

IONIZATION smells the smoke..... Ionization chamber.
PHOTO ELECTRIC sees the smoke....... So there is a light source (transmitter and receiver) that needs power.
