Interfacing smoke detectors is something most of us would like to do, but can be extremely complex and dangerous.  This solution does not physically touch the smoke detector unit(s) or wiring, so this is one of the more DIY-friendly solutions on the market now.

The INSTEON Smoke Bridge is retailing for $34.99, and is available now from the SmartHome website.
