Abstract:
A detector base device may provide auxiliary functionality to a smoke detector or other detector device. The detector base device may be distinct and separate from the smoke detector, and configured for physical mounting between the smoke detector and a junction box or other conventional mounting interface configured for direct mounting of the smoke detector (in a conventional mounting arrangement without the detector base device). Thus, the detector base device may include a first mounting structure (e.g., on a top side) for mounting the detector base device to the junction box or other conventional detector mounting interface, and a second mounting structure (e.g., at a bottom side) for mounting the smoke detector to the detector based device. The detector base device may include an auxiliary function system configured to provide auxiliary audio, communication, sensor-based detection, and/or data recording functions, and may also including a battery backup for line power outage.

Claim (Index 20):
A detector base device for providing auxiliary functionality to a detector device including a sensor configured to detect at least one substance or environmental condition and a detector logic device configured to identify an alert condition based on sensor signals generated by the sensor and output an alert signal, the detector base device comprising:\n a detector base device housing; a first detector base device mounting structure configured for mounting the detector base device to a junction box or other detector mounting interface that is configured for direct mounting of the detector device; a second detector base device mounting structure configured for mounting the detector device to the detector; and an auxiliary function system including a detector base device logic device and configured to provide at least one audio function, communication function, data recording function, or sensor-based detection function; wherein the detector base device is distinct and separate from the detector device; and wherein the detector base device configured for mounting between the detector device and the junction box or other detector mounting interface that is configured for direct mounting of the detector device.
