I am trying to make a smart smoke alarm. Following this:
Before anyone freaks out because a beginner like me is posting this and thinks that I am planning for this unit to replace my main smoke alarms, please do not worry. It will NOT replace the existing mains/battery fitted units, it is
supplemental simply for notification. My house has 3 hard wired, communicating alarms that will remain the primary untouched alarms. I am simply trying to add something that will tie into home assistant, for a bit of added protection/notification. Having looked at a handful of ESP designs, this one seems to be the best because the ESP does not drain anything from the 9V battery until the alarm is activated. It is the only design of its kind I came across, all the others require the Kidde relay and mains or a separate lithium cell, or take voltage from the 9V all the time so it drains quicker - so kudos to Martin Ger for this idea.
I can understand the general idea of the schematic, I just need some help with a few of the components.
A screenshot of the diagram is here:
I am unable to get the AMS1117 at CPC, so I am planning to use this: https://cpc.farnell.com/stmicroelectronics/ld1117v33c/ic-v-reg-ld1117-3-3v-to-220-3/dp/SC12896It looks like the AMS1117 is part of the ESP8266:
CPC have the BC547:
https://cpc.farnell.com/on-semiconductor/bc547b/transistor-npn-to-92/dp/SC08525I can find the 68K resistors:

I am guess the diagram makes reference to the resistance as a whole, as opposed to a particular part, so 2 x this:
https://cpc.farnell.com/welwyn/rc55y-280r-0-1/resistor-0-25w-0-1-280r/dp/RE05800The R280s are on back order though, so any suggestions for that part would be greatly appreciated and indeed any comments/help on the schematic as a whole.
Thanks
