I agree with this. Very sensible to have alarms interconnected.
You can wire the £15 ones together if that suits or get more expensive wirelessly linked ones, you don’t need them on the Wi-Fi.

You can wire the £15 ones together if you happen to have stripped your house back to the brickwork
Wirelessly [non-wifi] linking them together should be a feature of the cheapest reg-meeting alarms. The tech to do so is ancient.

You can get a set and heat pad for like £150 or something and they are all wirelessly linked no wifi or anything.

You'll have some folks come along in a mo to tell you the smoke alarm downstairs going off didn't wake them when they were sleeping on the top floor. Whether 'connected' smoke alarms means 'smart' IDK, but on balance it seems like a good idea to have all of them go off if one of them does. This should be a feature of £9.99 smoke alarms, but it isn't.
