Any plans for a Tapo Smart Smoke Detector?
We have a range of sensors available such as motion, water, doors, etc but one obvious missing sensor is a smoke detector / alarm. Any plans on the horizon for releasing a smart smoke detector?

@Meteorites yes this would round out the Tapo smart home line. I'll be honest if any one company starts making a complete smart home product line I will jump ship. I do hope Tapo is the one to do It as I have mostly Tapo products at this time.

I'm not getting my hopes up for any more innovations.
Nothing more is going to happen here. :-(

And moving there could solve the problem completely. I found everything there that isn't available here.

@MariusGv Hell ya. Exactly what my system is missing.
Sure, there are work arounds like having smart speakers listen for smoke alarms, but this would be a very simple addition to the Tapo ecosystem.

No offense intended, but I really wouldn't want to trust my safety to a smoke (or carbon monoxide) detector made by TAPO.
Their products are simply not reliable enough for that.
(Can you imagine the forum posts after someone's house has burned down?!)
Even the Amazon Alexa air-quality sensor (which can detect smoke and carbon monoxide) comes with a warning that it's not to be relied on for safety purposes.
HOWEVER, what would be useful (and would meet the same requirement) is a TAPO audio alarm sensor: a device which would detect the loud beeping of a properly certificated smoke (or carbon monoxide) detector made by ANY third-party company which specializes in safety devices.
An audio alarm sensor could also detect the sound of a house security alarm, and potentially the sound of breaking glass too.
