The best smoke alarms in Australia are photoelectric alarms with 10-year lithium batteries and interconnectivity. Red, Quell and Anka security are top brands known for quality and reliability. Photoelectric alarms are recommended for use in homes due to their effectiveness in detecting smoldering fires. Interconnected alarms are essential to alert occupants throughout the house when one alarm is triggered.

Here is a more detailed analysis we have put together for you:

Types of smoke alarms:

Photoelectric: These are generally considered best for home use as they are more effective at detecting common smoldering fires found indoors.
Ionization: While ionization alarms are also useful, they are better at detecting burning fires and may not be as effective at detecting smoldering fires, which can give people more time to escape.
Combination (ionization and photoelectric): These alarms combine both technologies for a wider range of fire detection.

Recommended features:

10-year lithium battery: These eliminate the need to replace batteries and ensure continued operation over the life of the alarm.
Interconnected alarms: When one alarm detects smoke, all interconnected alarms in the house will sound, providing critical early warning.
Photoelectric sensor:
This sensor type is essential for detecting smoldering fires, which can give people more time to escape.
Test/Silence button:
This makes it easy to test and silence the alarm, reducing false alarms.
Comply with Australian Standards:
Make sure your alarm complies with AS3786:2014 and other relevant standards.

Other tips:

Placement:
Install smoke alarms in ceilings, inside and outside each bedroom, and in hallways.
Regular testing:
Test your smoke alarms monthly to ensure they are working properly.
Battery replacement:
If your alarm uses replaceable batteries, replace them as needed or when the alarm indicates the battery is low.
Consider smart smoke detectors:
Smart smoke detectors can send alerts to your phone, provide voice commands, and even connect to other smart home devices.
