1. A method for guiding installation of a hazard detector, comprising:
- receiving, by the hazard detector during installation at a particular location within a residence, an input command to test whether an instant placement of the hazard detector would prevent the hazard detector from operating within specification to detect one or more hazards;
implementing, by the hazard detector in response to receiving the input command, a test sequence to determine whether the instant placement of the hazard detector would prevent the hazard detector from operating within specification to detect one or more hazards; and
outputting, by the hazard detector, a particular notification during installation at the particular location when it is determined that the instant placement of the hazard detector would prevent the hazard detector from operating within specification to detect one or more hazards, based upon readings of at least one component of the hazard detector.

Abstract
A particular smart hazard detector may itself function as a guide during a process of installation of the same at an installation location. Additionally, the installation location of the particular smart hazard detector may play a central role in how various settings of the smart hazard detector are defined and adjusted over time.

11. A hazard detector, comprising:
-
at least one component to test during installation of the hazard detector at a particular location whether an instant placement of the hazard detector would prevent the hazard detector from operating within specification to detect one or more hazards; and a processing system, in operative communication with the at least one component, that; determines, based upon readings of the at least one component, whether an instant placement of the hazard detector during installation thereof would prevent the hazard detector from operating within specification to detect one or more hazards; and when it is determined that the instant placement of the hazard detector would prevent the hazard detector from operating within specification to detect one or more hazards, causes a notification alert to be output to guide a user during installation of the hazard detector to a suitable installation location for the hazard detector. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A hazard detector, comprising:
-
at least one diagnostic component; at least one output device; at least one processor, operatively coupled to the at least one diagnostic component and at least one output device; and a memory operatively coupled with and readable by the at least one processor, and having stored therein processor-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to; receive, during installation of the hazard detector at a particular location within a residence, an input command to test whether an instant placement of the hazard detector would prevent the hazard detector from operating within specification to detect one or more hazards; implement a test sequence to determine whether the instant placement of the hazard detector would prevent the hazard detector from operating within specification to detect one or more hazards; and generate a particular notification, for output by the at least one output device, when it is determined that the instant placement of the hazard detector would prevent the hazard detector from operating within specification to detect one or more hazards, based upon readings of the at least one diagnostic component. - View Dependent Claims (20)
