HOME CO DETECTORS?

I thoroughly enjoy each and every issue of Aviation Consumer. Recently, when working around the house, I came upon a wall-mounted CO detector. It is battery powered and fairly compact. I was wondering about using it in the plane as a viable CO detector. What are your thoughts on this? 

I know you recently did a couple of articles about CO detectors for the plane, but I don’t remember any mention of using a household CO detector.  Thanks for your thoughts.
