You said, on the upper floor, that the alarms needed two power sources according to code, then on the first floor you installed a battery only unit. I'm not an expert on the code but is that allowed? Also, you can use bridge units to join a wireless trigger unit to the wired ones.

He never mentioned there are two kind of smoke alarms, ionization and photoelectric. Ionization is better for quickly flaming fires and photoelectric is better for slow smoldering fires, and most fire departments and building codes like them both in the house. The best is a 2-in-1 unit that has both types.

If smoke detectors are being installed in a home built prior to the hardwire code requirement than wireless smoke detectors with a non removable 10 year battery can be used. If a house is undergoing extensive renovation which would allow for the routing of hardwire power cables than the new detectors must be hardwired.

The 14/3 red wire is just needed for communication in between devices. It should not be tied into a power source. So a14/2 is your power supply. But in this video that means it's not talking to the lower floor devices unless he pulls a new interconnecting wire or uses a remote transmitter of some kind.

If the NEC states it should be on its own circuit ( individual branch circuit ) I would be interested in that chapter and section or if it's an amendment to NFPA 70 written into law and approved in a specific state or commonwealth. I'm almost inclined to point towards NFPA 72 if that even exists.

WRONG!!! NEC section 210.12 requires 120v smoke alarms to be on Arc Fault circuits. They should be interconnected and on one circuit. There is debate on weather they should be alone on a circuit, or be on a shared circuit. NEC, NFPA, and IRC do not weigh in on the matter. Some state and local AHJ have made a determination one way or another, and they have the final say. The fire prevention community is leaning toward being on a shared circuit, so that if the breaker is tripped, the occupants will be more likely to notice it, whereas if the alarms are by themself, someone might turn off the breaker to silence a false alarm, and then never turn them back on.

Just find an exact replacement for it if you've done the battery change and it still does it . These have maximum lifespans and some will beep at that point, or they just crap out over time. The same model will fit the existing mount and so it can be swapped out in like 1 minute time.

It's not necessary to have the ground/earh covered since it's not a normal current carrying conductor, and usually bonded to the back of a metal box. North American codes say that the ground/earth must be identified with green insulation, green with a yellow stripe, or bare coper. I believe Australia also has a bare ground/earth conductor in their NM cable/twin and earth.
