Your alarm is installed. Is it working?

US rentals and most booking platforms require smoke and CO alarms. Keeping them working is harder when you're not always on site.

The test you can't confirm

Alarms should be tested between stays. Sometimes nobody does it, and when someone says they did, you have no way to check.

Frequently asked questions

How do Minut plans work?

A Minut plan is required to connect A1 to the Minut app, enabling its connected features like self-testing between bookings, real-time alerts, interconnection, and your test log. Wireless network connection and a replaceable CR123A battery (included) are required for smart features.

Without a plan or network connection, A1 still works to detect smoke and CO and sounds a local siren.

A plan is required per property. You can add multiple Minut devices to a property.

Already on Minut? You can add A1 to any existing Minut property.

What happens if the Wi-Fi goes down?

You’ll get an alert if A1 is disconnected, battery is low, or if tampering is detected.

Smoke and CO detection and the local siren keep working on the 10-year sealed battery.

Is A1 certified?

Yes, A1 is UL Listed to UL 217 and UL 2034.

How many alarms do I need?

At minimum, put one in every bedroom and one on every floor, following NFPA 72. Placement rules vary by state, so check your local requirements too.

Will guests notice the tests?

A1 runs its tests between bookings, on the schedule you choose, so they happen while the property is vacant.

Which batteries does A1 use?

A sealed 10-year battery powers smoke and CO detection. A replaceable CR123A battery (included) powers the smart connected features. The Minut app tells you when it’s time to replace it, or when the device is nearing end of life.

How is A1 different from M3?

A1 is a dedicated smoke and CO alarm. M3 covers noise, occupancy, smoking and indoor climate. They work side by side in the same Minut app.

Is A1 available outside the US?

Not yet. A1 is currently available in the US only.
