I am looking for a good and reliable smokedetector to use in combination with Homeseer, I now use RF Flamingo detectors but these
causes to much false alarms. So I am looking for Z-wave, or RF devices with a better quality, i.e. Fibaro, Visonic, or?
Advise?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Smokedetector
I also had issues with the Flamingo ones but after taking one unit offline they became stable. I think just one module gave to much false positives.

Re: Smokedetector
Are they always connected with each other?
Or can you let them be separate?
Because of you use a rfxcom trx you can fetch the alarm message and activate the others then right?

Hi,
I use visonic MCT-426 smoke detectors connected to the RFXLan 868 MHz slave receiver.
They work very good.

Re: Smokedetector
The RFXcom is connected as slave to the master Flamingo (RFXcom and Master Flamingo are both on the attic) the other flamingo`s are in the staircases and livingroom and each of them look to act as a repeater. I only had issues with one flamingo and after it has been disconnected i did not have any false positives.vincenttor wrote:Are they always connected with each other?

The MCT-426 is quit expensive (75 euro a pieces) and maybe if you need to create a new setup the Fibaro smoke sensors are a better choice since you can add them to the z-wave network
