1. A method comprising:
permitting air flow into a space defined by a detector mount base and an intermediate component via openings in a sidewall of the detector mount base, the detector mount base configured to be secured to a surface and to support a smoke detector on the surface;
directing air flow in the space toward a detector component of a detector body using fins of the intermediate component, the intermediate component being positioned between the detector mount base and the detector body;
permitting air flow from the space to the detector component of the detector body; and
detecting an environmental condition based on the air flow from the space to the detector component.
