FireAngel FP2620W2-R Pro Connected Interlinked Smoke Alarms for Home

Addition to existing system. Functions as expected and links to all the other devices in the system without issue. No subscription for email alerts

I purchased 3 smoke detectors and one heat alarm which interlink via a radio link. They have a 10 year non replaceable battery in line with Scottish regulations which come into force early 2022. It took me about 5 mins to put each one up and another couple of minutes to connect them all.I’m not a professional so I would rate them extremely easy to install - I attached via screws but you can use stickers. They are loud and all go off within a moment of one activating.Not cheap but these long life battery devices all seem to be quite expensive. Saves on decorating after hardwiring though.Would recommend.

These are great, and I really want to give the 5*, but I can't - not quite.I've got three. They are relatively easy to install - just screw the base to the ceiling and clip in. Takes minutes. However, they essential function is to link them so they all alert together - that's what you pay the extra for the Pro version for. It took me a couple of hours of frustration and a call to their helpline to confirm that they were linked properly. The linking procedure seems fairly simple, but on testing them I got variable results - sometimes the other alarms would sound, sometimes not...The trick, it turns out, is a very subtly worded part of the manual. Once linked, when you test them, you need to just dab the button on one VERY briefly. If you do that then they will all sound the alarm. However, if you hold down the button for more than the briefest moment, the test applies only to that alarm and the others won't sound. Until you know this, testing them is darn near impossible. I even returned one as faulty before I learning this as I was sure it wasn't working (it probably was - just that the test procedure isn't crystal clear).To be fair, in some ways the lesson is to read EVERY WORD of the manual, but frankly this is an important aspect so they really should have made this much clearer in the manual.

I wanted to interlink the smoke and heat alarms in my house without having to lift floors etc, I ordered two fire angle R pro 10 year battery smoke alarms and a fire angle R pro mains powered heat alarm, the alarms were well packaged and all fitting instructions wereEasy to follow , all the alarms paired easily through the house WiFi and all are working perfectly. I am happy with the alarms and intend to buy more fire angle alarms for the rest of my house

I bought a bundle including gateway, several optical alarms, a thermal/heat, and a CO detector (May 2021). I later added another CO detector and optical alarm. Fitting the alarms and connecting them all together was fairly straightforward, and initially worked fine. Barely a year later, one of the smoke alarms started chirping to say that the battery was failing. That then stopped and didn't occur again. A couple of months ago, the CO detector in the kitchen started continually alarming. I brought the second CO detector in from the garage and sat next to the kitchen detector. The kitchen detector continued to alarm intermittently whilst the other was silent.Today the living room optical alarm has constantly been sounding whilst I was in the room, even after using a hoover to ensure the sensor didn't have a dust build up it continued to go off.I'm now about to rip the whole lot out and replace with something more reliable.Pros - easy to set up and link together. When one alarm goes off, all the other doCons - Zero confidence in a system that triggers all alarms on a false basis.07/03/24 - Less than three years on and that's the last of all of the FireAngel "10 year battery" bundled products that I bought have now died. What an investment!Have replaced with an alternative big brand that I can at least change the lithium batteries on.

I'm an avid user of home assistant and IoT, hence the reasoning for looking at connected devices. Appreciate this is pricey and requires its own proprietary hub, but the piece of mind that no matter where you are, you'll get an alert if an alarm goes off to me is worth it.It also routinely tests the network and system to ensure all is working as expected. Super easy to install with various sized holes in the plate for drilling, and then just twist and lock the alarm which automatically turns it on.Had for a number of months now and no issues with connectivity or false alarms, also connected to a FireAngel CO alarm and an upstairs FireAngel smoke alarm which will all trigger each other if alarming.I would like to see an API for integration into Home Assistant / Home Kit etc. But can't fault the product. You pay for what you get, and in this case its a very reliable and first-class alarm which shouldn't be compromised

This was easy to set up and link with the other smoke alarms and heat alarm we ordered. Obviously I’ve no idea whether they would actually work as they have not yet been exposed to a fire! The reason that I’ve only given them 3 stars is that they are advertised as 10 year alarms, and they have integral batteries which are not activated until you connect them to the base plate BUT THEY HAVE A DATE ON THE BACK WHEN THEY NEED CHANGING and for my five items those ranged from October 2033 to Feb 2034, so eighteen months of the ten years has gone by the time I bought them. This is very misleading and makes them much more expensive than they appear. Plus all of mine have different replacement dates so that is even more annoying.

With the clear instructions, it was easy to set up and fit in the correct position

Good product and great after sales service.
