The second generation battery looks and acts like the original, but has a much easier setup process. Through the app, which can accommodate a large number of connected batteries, you have the option to silence the alarm for up to 2 minutes, and automatically send an alert to someone else. Additionally, you can link the Roost battery to other smart home products through IFTTT, to, say, turn on your lights when the alarm goes off. The battery is designed to last up to five years, and will work with any smoke/CO alarms that use a 9 volt battery, which includes hard wired alarms with a 9V battery backup. Roost has updated its app so that users can get notified when there is a severe weather alert, such as hail, freezing temperatures, heavy rainfall and snow, and storms and high winds. What Owners Are SayingThe original Roost Battery has only about 200 reviews on Amazon, where it gets an average of 3 stars. Among the top comments, several praised Roost’s customer service in troubleshooting issues. “This device is pretty innovative, and a super easy, super cool way to connect up your alarm monitoring,” wrote one person. 66 View at Amazon$229.
