While the drywall is off during my kitchen remodel, I thought I would add a detector in the kitchen. I plan on ordering a ELK M1 when I get the drywall done so I would like to be able to interface with it. My question is do I use one of the Smoke/heat combo detectors or a heat only. If I use a heat only can the Elk directly interface with it? What brand and model numbers does everyone use? What is type of wire is generally used?
Also, on a different but related subject. Presently my house was wired with 110v smokes. The wire that they used was 14/3 with ground. I want to go to a low voltage 4 wire smokes but use the existing wires. Do you see any problem with that plan.
Thanks in advance
