Removing the battery is the reset button if you are looking for a red button. On model number 60WLDR-W Water Leak & Freeze Detector
★★★★★Shane Deaton· Apr 5, 2026
Absolutely love my Kidde smoke and CO2 detectors. Great piece of mind that home is safe while we're away!!!
★★★★☆Adam Paradis· Nov 24, 2025
Pleasantly surprised as a Nest Protect user for 10 years. While there is not a 100% feature parity between the two ecosystems Kidde gives a majority of essential functionality for a smart smoke and carbon monoxide detector. A few minor additions and improvements would be the following: app dark theme, a "heads-up" mode similar to Nest where a detection would first be announced in a spoken form instead of the full alarm, and scheduled alarm testing periodically to verify audible alerting.

Smoke detector triggers false alarms all the time.
★☆☆☆☆Prahlad· Oct 19, 2025
I purchased 20SAR-W smoke detectors that say 'works with Google' on the box. I tried to connect Google Home via kidde app but the app doesn't show the connect button for Google Home. Also adding the device via Google Home app doesn't work, connecting 'Kidde Alarm's via works with Google connection says no compatible devices found!
★☆☆☆☆Ziomar Flores· Mar 25, 2026
We had the smoke alarm go off. The notification popped up, and I couldn't clear it through the app. I had to get the ladder and press the button. Which was the entire point of getting the 20SAR-W to use our smartphone.
