The well-known Aqara brand which is part of the Xiaomi ecosystem has just launched the new Aqara Photoelectric Smoke Alarm, a very advanced smoke detector that can now be purchased in China at the price of 249 yuan, or about 35 euros at the current exchange rate.
Aqara Photoelectric Smoke Alarm is the new smart smoke detector
The Aqara Photoelectric Smoke Alarm adopts advanced dual optical path “labyrinth” detection technology to detect all types of smoke with high sensitivity and inform us in time to stop the fire in the bud. The detector also supports connection with other alarms, so if an alarm detects the occurrence of a fire, all alarms will start sounding together, the alarm spreads in an instant and can be heard clearly in every corner of the house, giving us the time to put out the fire or get out quickly.
Aqara's Photoelectric Smoke Alarm can also work simultaneously on HomeKit and Xiaomi IoT platforms, the smoke detector can be paired with smarter devices to achieve very useful connection scenarios. For example, when the alarm detects a fire, the smart camera directly records the video and sends it to the mobile app. You can also control the scene, so that you can take effective measures in time even when you are away from home.
The product supports one-click mute and automatic control over the app, so you don't need to scramble when false alarms occur. In addition, the detector supports the Zigbee 3.0 protocol and has a battery life of up to ten years.
It should be noted that this detector should not be installed in the kitchen, bathroom and other places subject to interference. It should be installed horizontally in the center of the ceiling and at least 0,5 meters away from the wall or beam.
Finally, the Aqara Photoelectric Smoke Alarm has already won an award at the authoritative German Red Dot Award.
