I wonder if anyone knows anything about a line of smoke/CO detectors called “Place” by parent company Gentex and prospects for home assistant support?
i hear “rumors” (via chatgpt actually) that the devices may initially provide alexa connectivity, and matter support may be coming soon.
I heard about them through a Verge article.
I was tempted to write them off as vaporware, but they’re sold thru Home Depot (the largest hardware/home improvement store in the North America) which means a) easy avalability and b) ability to return for refund if i’m unhappy or i get a defective product.
like many, i need to select a replacement for my nest protect detectors, which are reaching their mandatory retirement ages.
