This video shows how I wired a smoke detector into a relay to disconnect my 3d printer in case of fire.

WARNING - This circuit deals with high voltage (120v - 240v). This work should be done by a qualified person. I take no responsibility for those attempting this circuit, do so at your own risk.

A disconnect controlled by a 3-wire smoke detector. I plan on using this with my 3d printer.

I didn't use the 9v DC output but I'd be interested in an arduino or Raspberry Pi project for it. It could be used to send an SMS or e-mail on trip which would be very useful.

I wanted to show that making this disconnect with the proper parts and without "hacking" a smoke detector was possible. Made with off the shelf parts.

Parts Used:
- Smoke detector: Kidde Direct Wire 120 VAC 3-wire with battery back-up (Model: i12040ACA)
