FamilyBoardCarbon-monoxide alarm records should be simple, clear and safety-first
The household may have several devices with different installation dates or manufacturers. A location-based record helps identify which unit an alert or end-of-life signal refers to.
Record location and exact model
Keep the manufacturer, model and install/replacement date where known. If the device has a documented end-of-life signal, preserve the official instructions.
Do not use the app to interpret an active alarm
An active carbon-monoxide alarm is an emergency situation that requires following the device instructions and local emergency guidance. The organizer is for preparation and recordkeeping, not real-time diagnosis.
Keep replacement history visible
When a device is replaced, archive the old record rather than silently editing the installation date. The history shows what changed and when.
Contextual CTA: Inventory the devices by room/location and keep the official manufacturer instructions accessible outside the private app as well.
