@techbill

My family are Deaf and we bee. looking for detectors like this to alert us via flashing lights.

Rather than limiting yourself to a few Z-wave/Zigbee smoke/co detectors, just get the best regular detector you can find.

Then you can use one of the solutions that has a Z-wave/Zigbee device listen for the detector and sends an alert to your Hubitat. I use the Ecolink Firefighter (which is separate but installed next to my smoke/CO detectors).

Lack of supported zigbee smoke detectors

Personally, when I was looking into this earlier this year, I decided not to go with an IOT-connected smoke detector. They'll be installed for 10 years and I don't want IOT involved in a safety system. I did want to have an IOT-connected way to know if the smoke detector went off. That's why I used the Ecolink FireFighter (which is a device that listens for a smoke or CO alarm). There is a Z-Wave and Zigbee version of that device.
