FireAngel FP1000W2-R Pro Gateway, White

Good product and great after sales service.

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

Excellent fire alarm system, simple setup and easy monitoring from anywhere on the App.

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 were Easy 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
