How long do smart smoke detectors last?

Reviewer consensus

UL-listed smoke alarms — smart or otherwise — must be replaced every 10 years from the date of manufacture, a point r/smarthome commenters repeatedly raise. Sealed-battery models like Kidde's 10-year units are designed to be discarded at end of life; replaceable-battery models still hit the same 10-year sensor expiration.
