LiftMaster® features include:

FireFighter™, a new product from Encore Controls, detects the temporal sound from existing UL smoke detectors within a home. FireFighter™ can monitor a single or linked UL Listed smoke detectors in a home. When FireFighter™ detects an active smoke alarm, it sends a wireless signal to the customer’s control panel, which transmits the appropriate fire/smoke signal to the monitoring center.
