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 1):
A detector assembly, comprising:\n a detector configured to be mounted to a junction box or other detector mounting interface, the detector comprising:\n a detector housing; \n at least one sensor configured to detect at least one substance or environmental condition; \n a detector logic device configured to identify an alert condition based on sensor signals generated by the at least one sensor, and generate an alert signal associated with the identified alert condition; and \n a detector base configured to be mounted between the detector and the junction box or other detector mounting interface, the detector base comprising:\n a detector base housing; \n a first detector base mounting structure configured for mounting the detector base to the junction box or other detector mounting interface; \n a second detector base mounting structure configured for mounting the detector to the detector base; and \n an auxiliary function system including a detector base logic device and configured to provide at least one audio, communication, or data recording function, or sensor-based detection function; \n wherein the detector and detector base are distinct and separate devices, such that the detector base housing is distinct and separate from the detector housing.
