Hello forum,
I need your collective expertise. I understand that a smoke detector is required in every bedroom. However, I am unsure about the situation with an open-plan kitchen and living area, and where the smoke detector should ideally be placed in the hallway. I would appreciate any practical advice.

In the hallway, I would install the smoke detector approximately where the wall between Bathroom 1 and Bathroom 2 is located, so that smoke can quickly reach the detector from both directions.
A smoke detector is not required in the living area. However, I would personally still install one. Even if someone is sleeping on the sofa or falls asleep unintentionally, it doesn’t hurt to have one there.
I would place the smoke detector in the center of the living area. It should not be too close to the kitchen.

HausiKlausi8 May 2021 23:32Regarding the hallway: For L-shaped living areas, it is best to install the detector centrally at the intersection, that is, at the corner. Otherwise, our chimney sweep recommended placing it as close as possible to the doors, so that smoke from the adjacent room is detected quickly.

These are interconnected via wired connection. This setup was chosen because wireless units were not available at the time, only wired ones. When the old detectors were replaced, there was no need to purchase the relatively expensive wireless modules.
The detectors’ manual also provided instructions on where to install them, such as about 0.5 meters (20 inches) away from walls and room corners, along with additional guidelines.

They were still paid for with DM, and I also don’t recall the dealer (who, besides tools, garden supplies, etc., also sold electronics) having anything with wireless technology at that time. I don’t think so.
But it doesn’t matter whether there was something or not. The fact is, the old ones here were connected by wire, and the new ones are as well.
