Smart Smoke Detector

FAQ

How do Aqara smoke alarms work?

Aqara smoke alarms use the principle of scattering of light by smoke particles. When the smoke concentration is higher, the more pronounced the scattering is and the stronger the photocurrent generated, thus triggering a fire alarm.

Under what conditions can the device achieve 10 years of battery life?

The smoke detector's ability to achieve up to 10 years of battery life is based on testing conducted in an environment with a normal temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and humidity of 50%-65%, connected through the Aqara Hub M2 to the Aqara Home platform, and estimated based on triggering one alarm every 30 days, with each alarm lasting 5 minutes.
If the device is connected to third-party platforms, especially when bridged through third-party gateways to third-party platforms, inconsistent data interaction settings between the platform and device may cause the device to frequently self-activate or maintain high connection states, resulting in increased power consumption. Additionally, since third-party battery level plugins have their own battery calculation logic and display rules, the displayed battery level may not match the device's actual battery level. Please use Aqara Home's battery display and actual usage as the standard, and consider third-party platform battery displays for reference only.

Can Aqara smoke alarms be used alone?

Aqara smoke alarm can be used alone, only local sound and light alarm when not connected to the gateway, and remote alarm and intelligent linkage when connected to ZigBee gateway.
