Abode integrates with the First Alert Z-Wave Smoke/CO Detector to enhance your whole-home protection. Once integrated, smoke and carbon dioxide alarms initiated by the First Alert device can trigger Abode alarms--including dispatching the proper authorities for users on the Pro Plan--and CUE automations.

According to First Alert, you only have 30 seconds (from step #4 below) to pair the sensor once the battery is inserted and the tray is pushed in, so please read the directions and be prepared to move through the steps as swiftly as possible.
