I would be interested in VOC too. This manual for the hardwired heat alarm has info on placement.

For any battery operated ones I imagine placement would be similar. This product is not hardwired, does require a base station though. The base station pairs with other X-sense devices. So this could be a possibility for homes without hardwiring. There is an app to get notifications on as well.
