ConnectedSmoke detectors are often not connected to networks. In case of fire and smoke, a siren sounds to warn residents. Absolutely perfect and also a ’life saver’. But how nice it is if you also receive a notification when you are in the garden, or not at home. You can then quickly take action and call in the fire brigade. It can save a lot of trouble. Also think about pets.CompactThe Hihome smart smoke detector is not one of those ugly saucers on the ceiling or wall. It is a compact thing and looks sleek. With a diameter of 85mm the smoke detector can be placed inconspicuously. Battery lifeWith a single CR123a battery (included), the smoke detector will operate for 3-5 years. That’s not the 10 years that many ’non connected’ smoke detectors run on a battery, but then again they are not equipped with intelligent WiFi connections. In addition, the Hihome smart smoke detector has the advantage that you receive a notification on your phone when the battery needs replacing. CertificationNaturally, this Hihome product is also of the highest quality and meets the European EN14604 standard.
