FireAngel Pro Connected Smart Alarm Control Unit, Wireless Interlink, Battery Powered, FP1014W2-R

With my Nest smoke/CO detector alarms expiring very soon I was looking for an alternative system. The Google (owner!) recommended alternative is expensive and I found this alternative system from Fireangel fitted my needs perfectly at an acceptable price. Installation was easy and with all of the components battery and wifi operated, siting the various detaectors and this controller is simple. I hope it is never needed but it works well on test.

To comply with the forthcoming Scottish legislation (resulting from the Grenfell fire in London), we recently installed 3 interlinked long-life battery powered smoke and heat detectors from FireAngel through Amazon. Two smoke detectors for the lounge and hall, and a heat detector for the kitchen. We installed them on the ceiling using magnetic stickers, also from Amazon. It's a great, robust solution to avoid drilling holes plasterboard, etc. In addition, this FireAngel Pro Connected Smart Alarm Control Unit now installed conveniently on a lounge wall, allows us to test the fire alarm system once a month, without having climb a ladder or steps to press one of the test buttons on any of the smoke / heat detectors. The FireAngel Pro Connected Smart Alarm Control Unit buttons seem robust and well designed. So thank you once again.

Bought three of these, a Fire Angel heat detector and a wall controller to meet the new Scottish fire regulations. Because it is a period property with original ceilings, I did not want them damaged by wiring so opted for the wireless option. All of the devices were physically easy to install but it took a bit of trial and error getting them to 'talk' to each other. Once linked, they are brilliant. Positively ear-splittingly loud! I especially recommend buying the wall controller as it means that you can cancel false alarms and test the alarms from ground level. No more waving tea towels around!

We had a close call due to an unattended gas hob and fortunately only suffered a wrecked pan and a house that stank of smoke for several weeks, but following this I decided that I really need to up the fire protection around our lovely home. Previously, we'd only had two mains interlinked alarms in the hallway and top landing and neither went off when we had our "incident". I invested in a gateway, controller, 2 heat alarms, carbon monoxide monitor and 7 smoke alarms. Connection to the gateway was a doddle and the controller is a great way of being able to test all the alarms at once (I'd definitely recommend the gateway too for instant alerts to a phone). Gone are the days of having to stand on a chair to test the alarms - the controller gives visual alerts of any faults and looks great as well.

Easy to pair with the system, and the seller was very helpful with his knowledge of the item as I didn’t think it was compatible. Well worth it to be able to cancel alarms and test without ladders or broom handles and without recourse to the app.
