Maybe not, but since most smoke alarms have a simple "Test" button, it should be possible to have the program record a sample of the alarm it's listening for. That would make detection easier. I personally have no idea how it would work, but in theory, this should be equivalent to voice navigation - use the same kind of code that detects spoken commands, just with a different "language".
