One of the requirements here in NY is when a new build, or a remodel where the walls are open,
the law says the smokes must be powered via hardwired 110v interconnected, and battery backup.
 
I satisfied the rules here with my M1 install, and the GE wireless smokes by installing Kidde type  smokes that have110v interconnected,
and the GE wireless smokes right next to it.
 
Is there any plans to introduce a 110v hardwire and 2 way wireless smoke detector from Elk in the future?
 
 
I doubt you're going to see it. Too much to get the product to market, not to mention 110V puts the installation within the realm of electrical work, which you must remember, the M1 is designed for the pro installation market.
 
There's items that are already compliant for the HV and LV code, however the connection to a FACP is what is generally not compliant unless signed off by the AHJ.
 
We installed a ton of these in hotels and dorms and also programmed full fire systems with addressible LV units with specific actions.
