Kidde RGSAR-RW Wifi Hardwired Smoke Detector Aa Backup

Product Description

The KIDDE RGSAR-RW is a hardwired smoke detector with integrated WiFi connectivity and AA battery backup. It connects to a home or light-commercial network to deliver real-time alerts to a paired mobile app, giving installers and end users remote notification capability beyond the standard local alarm. The AA battery backup keeps the unit operational during a power outage without requiring a separate rechargeable pack. Designed for ceiling or wall installation on a standard electrical box, this detector is suited for residential and light-commercial applications where both wired reliability and smart-home connectivity are required.

The RGSAR-RW is intended for hardwired smoke detection installations in residential settings such as bedrooms, hallways, living areas, and common spaces where code requires interconnected or standalone smoke alarms. Its WiFi integration makes it a fit for smart-home environments and property management scenarios where remote monitoring adds value. Electricians and alarm technicians are the primary installers for hardwired configurations. No specific compatible model or system family is stated in the available product data.
