☐Smoke + CO detectors PRO (supplement, not replace, code system)First Alert ZCOMBO (Z-Wave smoke + CO)2–3$40 eaAmazon
⚠️ Life-safety & cameras — read before buying: Smoke/CO: these smart detectors are for alerts & automation — they do not replace your building's code-required, hardwired/monitored smoke & CO system. A licensed pro must handle that to pass fire code. Cameras: you asked for 4K WiFi — fine for a few, but seven 4K cameras flood Wi-Fi; for reliability I'd still run PoE (wired) for that many. Phone system: phone service always carries a monthly fee — that's normal (it's not the smart-home lock-in you're avoiding).
† Needs a small HA automation (installer or remote, ~10 min each): motion sensors → LumiOS auto-lighting; door sensors → room status; camera AI → LumiOS AI-events feed. The devices are fully capable — this just forwards their events to LumiOS. go2rtc is what puts live camera video inside the LumiOS tiles.
Rough totals (hardware only): Phase 1 ≈ $1,400–1,800 · all four phases ≈ $5,500–9,000 (varies with bulb, speaker, camera & window count) — plus a phone-service monthly fee. You then pay the installer for labor only. Keep all receipts & check return windows.
