For example, the first open slot 802 may be aligned with and parallel to a longitudinal edge of the elongated mounting plate 800, and the second open slot 804 may be oriented to be perpendicular with the longitudinal edge. Each of the first and second open slots 802 and 804 is configured to receive a body of a fastener e. g. , a screw and block an enlarged head of the fastener. Each of the first and second open slots has a respective width that is larger than a first width of the body of the fastener and smaller than a second width of the enlarged head of the fastener. When the mounting plate 800 is being mounted to a surface, the respective fasteners are fastened onto the surface via the first and second open slots, thereby holding the mounting plate 800 between the enlarged heads of the fasteners and the surface. Before the respective fasteners are tightened onto the surface, a position of the mounting plate 800 is adjusted by moving the mounting plate 800, including the first and second open slots, with respect to the respective fasteners. The first and second open slots 802 and 804 can therefore define two perpendicular directions of adjustment for the position of the mounting plate 800, and each of these two perpendicular directions of adjustment is associated with a respective range of adjustment defined according to a longitudinal size of the respective open slot. Further, in some implementations, the heads of the fasteners fastened into the first and second open slots 802 and 804 rises beyond the front surface of the mounting plate 800 by a head height. Referring to FIG. 7B, the rear exterior surface of the device housing 702 may include a second recess 724B and a third recess 724C configured to cover the heads of the fasteners fastened into the first and second open slots 802 and 804, when the device housing 702 is mounted onto the mounting plate 800.

Our favorite for a few years running is the Nest Protect. It's the most full featured alarm, blaring out a loud siren and telling you where the problem is. It works with a lot of other smart home systems, so for example it can turn on all your Philips Hue lights, making it easier to find your way out. However, if you don't want to spend more than $100 on a smoke detector—you should have several in your home—then check out the Roost Smart Battery. This 9 volt Wi Fi connected battery costs just $35, goes into any smoke detector, and alerts your phone when the alarm goes off. Make sure you check out all of our top picks for smart speakers, lights, locks, and more on our best smart home gadgets page.
