What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This device combines a First Alert smoke and carbon monoxide detector with a wireless transmitter that sends signals to a compatible bedside receiver or vibrating alert system designed for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. It's intended for someone who cannot reliably hear standard smoke or CO alarms — particularly during sleep — and needs a visual or tactile alert instead. This is not a standalone solution: it requires a separate Serene CA-360 bedside receiver (or compatible CA-RX/CA-PX unit) to actually deliver the alert to the user, typically through flashing lights or bed shaker vibration. The transmitter range covers up to 200 feet, but that bedside receiver is sold separately and must be purchased to complete the system.
