1. A connected detector system comprising:
one or more detectors, each detector comprising a sensor module, and a communications module,
said sensor module comprising a first microcontroller and one or more sensors for detecting the presence of at least one of smoke, carbon monoxide, or natural gas,
wherein said first microcontroller is connected to said one or more sensors to monitor a corresponding status of each of said sensors and to receive data corresponding to one or more readings from each of said sensors,
wherein said first microcontroller is configured to process said data from at least one of said sensors to determine whether a predetermined threshold corresponding to said sensor has been passed, and
said communications module comprising one or more transceivers and a second microcontroller connected to and in communication with said first microcontroller to receive from said first microcontroller identification of at least one of said sensors, said data for said sensor, and an alert corresponding to a determination by said first microcontroller that said predetermined threshold for said sensor has been passed,
said second microcontroller configured to receive said sensor data or alerts from said first microcontroller and to communicate said received sensor data or alerts to a communications server via one or more wireless communications channels;
wherein at least one of said one or more detectors is configured to store a first certified profile for detection and operation at the time of manufacture;
a customer relationships management server for storing a customer account associated with said one or more detectors, said customer relationships management server configured to receive from said communications server said sensor data and alerts corresponding to said stored customer account,
wherein said customer relationships management server is configured to communicate with one or more user devices associated with said customer account, and
a central station configured to communicate with and to receive sensor data and alerts from said communications server.
