While nice, my fire was in my day care center and it called the fire dept automatically. So sure you will get a text that says there is smoke, so it is one step better. But if you are not home what are you going to do if there is a fire? You get the alert do you call 911 right away, do you drive home? Call 911 for nothing you will get a bill, drive home and your house could have burned down. Sometimes a little knowledge is dangerous.
