The Kidde COPDW is a Wi-Fi-connected plug-in carbon monoxide alarm that sends real-time push notifications to the Kidde mobile app regardless of occupant location. For households that prioritize remote awareness — property managers, frequent travelers, or families monitoring secondary residences — the COPDW provides CO alerts without the need for physical proximity to the alarm.
Construction and Design
The COPDW plugs into a standard 120V outlet via a rotating plug that adjusts 90 degrees for horizontal or vertical socket orientations. AA backup batteries maintain CO detection during power outages, with automatic switchover. The 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi radio connects to the Kidde app for remote notification and status checks. A backlit digital display shows current CO concentration on button press. The unit suppresses low-battery audible chirps during nighttime hours.
Detection Performance and Smart Features
Detection is electrochemical, meeting UL 2034 thresholds. App integration allows real-time alerts when CO is detected and enables remote alarm testing — verifying unit function without standing within earshot of the device. The Kidde app supports multi-location monitoring, making it appropriate for households with multiple connected Kidde units. The COPDW operates with standard 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks; 5 GHz-only routers or networks with complex authentication may require reconfiguration. The app requires a smartphone with current iOS or Android.
Strengths
- Remote push notifications via Kidde app for CO events, anywhere the owner has cellular or Wi-Fi
- Remote alarm testing confirms device function without physical presence
- AC-powered with battery backup for uninterrupted protection
- Digital display for local CO concentration readout
- Rotating plug accommodates most outlet configurations
Limitations
- Requires 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network — 5 GHz-only networks require router configuration
- App dependency for remote features — alerts are not delivered without smartphone and app
- No natural gas or propane detection; the COPDLG adds explosive gas sensing
- No indoor air quality monitoring; the COPDLQW adds TVOCs, temperature, and humidity
Recommended Applications
The COPDW suits primary residences, rental properties, and vacation homes where an off-site owner or property manager benefits from remote CO alerts. It is appropriate for families with elderly relatives living alone, where remote monitoring of CO events provides peace of mind. For complete sensor coverage including explosive gas, select the COPDLG. For air quality monitoring, select the COPDLQW.
Verdict
The Kidde COPDW is the entry point into connected CO monitoring within the Kidde plug-in lineup. Its combination of AC power, battery backup, digital display, and smartphone alerts makes it a well-equipped unit for households that value remote awareness. Users requiring gas detection or air quality monitoring should evaluate the COPDLG and COPDLQW respectively.

This is a great product when traveling
I purchased this to take with me when I traveled for work and especially when staying in hotels. This was my first time using the Kidde app and I was very impressed. I never have luck with pairing anything, but this was very easy to pair with no issues. Once connected to Wifi, I did not have any connectivity issues even when having to move rooms or hotels and whatnot. It is easy to read as it has a bright backlight, has been very reliable, battery life so far has been good, its portable as it fits into a computer bag or carry one bag without taking a lot of room.I was asked by a co worker if this could be used with the mobile hotspot feature and I did try it several times and you need to ensure a stable 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi network, but it does work as we had a carbon monoxide detector activation inside a restaurant in Dallas and my detector activated seconds before the building alarm activated.Highly recommend for anyone traveling for work or pleasure.

Reassuring Safety Device That Feels Modern and Easy to Use
This Kidde smart carbon monoxide detector feels well designed and easy to set up. The plug-in style makes it simple to install without needing to mount anything complicated, and the rotating plug helps it fit into different outlet positions.The smart features and real-time notifications are a nice upgrade compared to basic detectors, especially if you want extra peace of mind when you are not at home. The Wi-Fi connectivity adds convenience, even if it is not something you think about every day once it is set up.The alarm is loud and feels very effective, which is exactly what you want from a safety device. The battery backup is also reassuring in case of a power outage.I will be honest, I do not actually know how to fully verify it is working beyond the basic setup, but we have not had any issues and it does add a layer of peace of mind in the house.Overall, it feels like a modern, reliable safety upgrade that is easy to live with and gives peace of mind without much effort once installed.

Amazing.
Kidde is a reputable and well known brand and they always make reliable and decent products. This is no exception and has been made to their quality standards. One of the few brands I'd trust my house and life with. It comes with a 10 year warranty and is a wall plug with changeable battery backup, so it should last a long time or be replaced. Having wifi is a must now a days and having smoke detectors, explosive gas detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors on your wifi with connection to your phone 24/7 may not just be a life saver (literally) but could be what saves your home, your family and your animals. Set up is a breeze and the instructions are easy enough to understand. Never trust your life to an off-brand. They're a bit pricy, but with 10 year warranty's (and 10 year internal batteries in some cases) and reliability of a company like this are worth every penny. Being able to get notifications from anywhere on your phone is awesome and should be standard on all emergency equipment in my opinion. Especially if you have a surveillance system and can then check to verify if it's a false alarm before contacting the police/fire department. Or anyone who needs to exit the house, or shut something off. You can weigh the risks and act accordingly rather than stumble on a catastrophe or disaster later on. Or God forbid, get that call. Know before, and act. I would 100% recommend this product and others like it from this company. It detects accurately and quickly. And notifies you with the same haste.

Measure Remotely: WiFi Enabled CO Detector
This CO Detector had a really easy set up. The connected app is easy to use and makes it very clear to see if the CO level is clear or not.Although the app doesn’t show the peak CO level, the unit itself does have a Peak button. Mine is showing “Clr” (Clear) when I press it, which shows me I’ve been at a very safe level without any measurable amount.Regarding battery life, I frankly have mine plugged into the wall. It would not sync to WiFi on initialization without plugging into the wall. The location I wanted to measure was by a wall switch anyway, so I just left it plugged in. It does have a battery backup but I’m viewing that as for emergencies.Overall, from past experience, Kidde is a reliable brand. With pets at home, I’m happy to now have a WiFi enabled version of one of their smoke detectors so that I can get accurate readings remotely while I’m traveling and possibly save the lives of my pets while I’m away.

On target
This is a nice and easy to use detector to add some peace of mind for you and your family. It is as simple as plugging it into a wall and includes the option to rotate 90 degrees to fit most plug positions. The backlit display makes it easy to ready any time and the smart connection allows another degree of easy with phone notifications for most functions. I also appreciate the mobility to travel with this if needed. There have been some ABNB's where this would have added some peace of mind. I did not shop around, there may be a better cost value out there, but it is also easy to go with a known name brand.

Easy to install but doesn't seem to give reading levels over app
No issue installing this but I was hoping the app would be able to provide reading levels over time. But it seems like the app will only notify if threshold is triggered or not.

Disappointed
I purchased this item so it could help me protect the people in my home. My mother in law is short and sometimes to reach the over the stove microwave she accidentally bumps the stove knobs. With that said the gas will be slightly on until we smell it and turn it off.At her age she doesn't smell as good so she doesn't realize that it's on. I bought this detector to alert me and there has been 4 different occasions that this situation has happened and there is not even a peep from the alarm. My room is across the whole house and if I smell the gas when I walk out my room ... I feel like the detector should have gone off way before that.... But not even a peep

Works well and includes WiFi notification !!
I like the fat that this detector is a plug-in detector with a battery backup. The best feature of this monitor is the fact that it is WiFi enabled for detection notification remotely as well. The Alan is rated for 85 decibels which is loud. Setup was easy. Simply pull the yellow tag at the back to enable the backup batteries and plug it in at your location of choice. In the app you can label the room or location it is placed. It’s larger than I expected but not too large. The unit does look good plugged in with the led display. This unit does not have low level detection nor does it have air quality monitoring (as seen in other versions of this product) but I appreciate that it has multiple ways for you to be notified of a leak. Overall, I am happy with this monitor.
