Question about Shelly Plus Smoke Alarm
Don't the Shelly Plus Smoke Alarms have (by now?!) Bluetooth for initial setup? Does that eliminate the cumbersome initial setup, or is it still a negative?

Yes, Bluetooth is available for initial setup and can be used in the app.
This usually makes the initial setup much easier than just via Wi-Fi, because you find the device via Bluetooth and then transfer it to the Wi-Fi network. According to the official product page, each connection type can be switched on or off by the user; so Bluetooth is not necessarily permanently active.
However, it is important to note: The device is battery-powered and designed for energy efficiency. In practice, therefore, its availability may be limited depending on the operating status; user reports describe a setup mode for about 2 minutes, which is activated by pressing a button.
