 The circuit is fairly straight forward.  If you haven't already, go ahead and solder the headers onto your new Oak.

 =====Conclusion:=====
-Where to go from here, potential uses, etc.
+The above code will provide for Particle.io several variables to look at.  Now you need to do something with it.  I signed up for an account on http://www.ifttt.com which allowed me to connect to my Particle.io account and see what values my Oak was sending out.  Next I used those values to setup an instant message to my phone which would alert me if the "alarmstate" reaches 1.  Then I setup another recipe to message my phone if the Oak Smoke Detector+ goes offline for any reason.
+Finally I setup another account on https://thingspeak.com/.  I send the data from ifttt.com over to thingspeak for them to collect and track for me, which shows great graphs of my data.  Here is a link to my site with all of the data that my Oak1 is sending out.  http://www.intheorystudios.com/oak1/
+In conclusion, I believe that the Oak Smoke Detector+ will be a great addition to your home.  If you have any suggestions or additions to this project, please feel free to let me know.  I'm at rick@intheorystudios.com and you can also see this project on youtube right here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uedJR77QlKg
+Future upgrades to this project may include the ability for multiple Oak Smoke Detectors to communicate.  So if one goes off, the others will too.
