    I have the mains powered ones, works well, I have the gateway too. I suppose if it alerts you to a problem when your not at home it may prove it’s worth. I’ve not had any false alarms. (edited)

    Like the idea of these, but having to buy the gateway is a pain.

    X-Sense do a smoke alarm that requires no gateway - amazon.co.uk/dp/…BKC
    I have used X-sense in the past but not this model, so can't say how reliable it is

    Gateway only for app connection. They will interlink together without, or pair up to the control to test/switch off if they go off. Never bothered with gateway, don't really see the point of it. (edited)

    I don't get the gateway for a not at home alert. By the time you get home damage is done, how do you check it's not a false alarm if you're not there. Low battery should indicate which one on itself. So what am I missing 🤷‍♂️

    I have the same alarm+cam setup that mentioned. My smart smoke alarm is tied to home alarm (Yale). If you have kids at home you can ask them to get out and not do anything stupid (kids panic). You can inform your neighbours so they can evacuate if needed.

    Anyone else with Yale home alarm can look at these:

    We have a FireAngel alarm with a sealed battery. It now beeps the low battery warning regularly so what should we do with it? Take it to the tip still beeping or smash it with a hammer until it stops?

    They are awful - last 2 years at times. Ring them, if the serial number marries up they will replace.

    Don't expect the battery to last 10 years. I've fitted dozens of these and it's a couple of years if you're lucky. Fire angel just sent me a load for free to replace because I complained.

    It's a known problem.
    Fire Angel got into considerable difficulty because of the cost of the warranty claims and they had to raise money off shareholders to pay for all this.

    So I can buy this to adhere to Scotland guidelines on fire regulations?

    Yes as long as you buy enough for your property and the heat sensor for kitchen and any carbon monoxide detectors you might need.

    I'm gonna give advice on what is perhaps a bit of a niche use case, but useful nonetheless. I haven't used this particular brand but as long as it links into Google home/Alexa it should be fine.

    For anyone that is using an FDM 3D printer then this is a great combination, I have my printers on smart sockets, but linked with a smart smoke detector or heat detector then you can set them to auto shut off in the event of an event. Sure, 3d printers should cut the power should a fault occur, but in the case of anything that can cause a fire it's better to be safe, especially when you can't actually inspect the stock firmware and the only way to test is a live scenario. Or compiling you're own which is what I did eventually but it's a faff for most I imagine. (edited)

    £31.99 for the FP1720W2-R heat alarm too, it's usually £50 territory. Heat added

    I wish the mains powered unit was also 30

    Yeah, a lot of these are for Scottish guidelines, but England guidelines can be different. Here in Bristol I checked and it has to be mains smoke alarm with a tamper proof battery with an interlink. There's only like one model that meets this BS whatever it was standard, and they're like 100 quid *each*

    Have these throughout the house, highly recommend the control unit, really handy to silence or test the alarms.
    The gateway is useless, the app is really poor and the gateway frequently disconnects from the internet which kind of defeats the purpose.

    To use these to cover a house in Scotland, I need smoke alarms and one heat alarm? Do I also need a control unit, or not? I don't need app control
    Milev's avatar

    You just link them together and that’s it. There is no control unit. I have 3x smoke and 1x fire from Costco for £145. In the manual it says you don’t have to link alarm unit 5 with alarm unit 1 for example. You can link alarm 5 with any previously installed and linked alarm unit.

    Somebody is selling new control units (FP1014W2-R) on eBay for £8.93 including delivery:
    ebay.co.uk/itm…373

    I’d normally be a bit wary (what if it’s a fake and doesn’t detect a fire, etc) but in the case of the control unit there’s not much of a safety problem if it goes wrong. Ordered one.

    Fire alarms are too expensive. Essentials like this should have a government produced competitor... don't forget though if you can't afford a fire detector your local fire service can sort you out
    jaizan's avatar
    jaizan
    Government produced doesn't work, as whatever the party, the government is run by politicians who are invariably incompetent and incapable of running anything properly.

    For example: We used to have a state owned car maker, called BMC, BL & then Rover Group. The most unreliable cars I ever owned.

    As long as you don't need interlinked alarms, the price is very reasonable.
    Unfortunately, in Scotland, the government has mandated interlinked alarms. These should be totally unnecessary in small houses.
    Also, there is a problem as in practice, interlinked alarms are likely to be of the same brand, so if there is a design defect, it affects all of your alarms.
    So that's what you get when incompetent people pass laws.

    I have two different brands of non-interlinked alarms and consider that to be superior. I did have 3 different brands, but had to dispose of the Fire Angel one after it woke me up in the middle of the night with false alarms.

    For non-smart interlinked smoke and heat alarms, I recommend Hispec BPRF10 smoke and BHTF10 heat detector. Both comply with correct standard referenced in the link below.

    Recently got my calendar reminder that my Kidde mains powered alarms will need replacing soon.

    Anyone recommend cheapest decent option currently? Kidde ones seem quite expensive right now and I have several to replace :/
    JACKATTACKZ's avatar
    JACKATTACKZ Author
    If you stick with Kidde then you would probably just replace the unit itself on the current base rather than base plate rewire for another kind. They tend to keep the bases the same throughout years, but double check.
