Description

Keep your family safe with this battery-operated Zigbee smoke detector. Equipped with the latest Zigbee protocol, it alerts you to danger via the Smart Life app on your phone, no matter where you are. The detector can also be used in Smart Life automation scenarios, such as shutting off your gas supply (with our WiFi Smart Shut-Off Valve) when smoke is detected.

Accurate, Reliable & Highly Sensitive Detector: Featuring a photoelectric smoke sensor, it detects both fast and slow-burning fires, instantly notifying you with sound and app alerts when dangerous smoke is detected while minimizing false alarms.

Easy to Use: A Test/Silence button lets you perform weekly tests and quickly silence false alarms. Malfunction and low-battery warnings provide clear status updates, and in an emergency, an 85 dB alarm sounds to alert your entire household, along with a remote notification sent to your Smart Life app.

Quick & Simple Installation: No rewiring needed; easily mount on any wall or ceiling using the included bracket, screws, and anchor plugs for secure and reliable protection.

The Zigbee Smoke Detector is a modern, innovative device that combines the functionality of a traditional smoke detector with the convenience of wireless connectivity. Designed to provide early warnings of smoke and fire hazards in your home or office, it allows you to monitor and control it remotely using your smartphone or other smart devices.

This Zigbee Smoke Detector features advanced smoke detection technology, quickly and accurately identifying smoke particles in the air. When smoke is detected, it emits a loud alarm and sends real-time notifications to your smartphone, enabling you to take immediate action to protect your property.

A key feature of the Zigbee Smoke Detector is its wireless connectivity, allowing it to connect to your home or office’s Zigbee network. Through the Tuya or Smart Life app, you can monitor the detector’s status, receive notifications, and even silence false alarms with a simple tap on your smartphone.

Additional features include low-battery alerts, self-testing capabilities, and the ability to interconnect with other Zigbee smoke detectors, providing a comprehensive and interconnected smoke detection system for enhanced safety.

The Zigbee Smoke Detector is easy to install and can be mounted on the ceiling or wall, just like a traditional smoke detector. It operates on standard batteries, ensuring reliable performance even during power outages.

With its advanced detection technology, wireless connectivity, and convenient remote monitoring, the Zigbee Smoke Detector is a reliable solution for protecting your home or office against smoke and fire hazards.
