Hello all, I’m looking for a smoke detector device to connect with my Homey. What smoke detector do you use? Do you advice that device? I’m very curious to your opinions :smiley: Michiel

Hello, It should work with Matter sensor devices, but it’s a bit in an early stage. According to this article below, from sensor types only motion- and contact sensors are supported by Matter itself for now → so I guess only the motion sensor of the Owl Wired should work for now. [Screenshot_20…

That’s a very useful set of articles - thanks! I read about Matter a while back, but I’m impatient and hoped it was further advanced by now. I assume smoke detectors will be last on the list - potentially life-saving devices - so they won’t want to take any risks.

Am I right in thinking that when Matter is ready on Homey Pro, I would be able to connect to Matter devices (such as the Matter-enabled Owl sensor ) without having to rely on Homey adding a dedicated app or device to the list of supported devices?

You’re welcome, [image] Spike27: I assume smoke detectors will be last on the list because of they are potentially life-saving, so they won’t want to take any risks Hmmm, I consider any Homey model or/and any wireless device, not suitable to for potentially life-saving devices. Homey is not …

[image] Peter_Kawa: I consider any Homey model or/and any wireless device, not suitable to for potentially life-saving devices. I agree. Luckily I already have a hard-wired smoke detection system in my house, so the Owl Wired is appealing. In theory, the smoke detection element is stable and …

I am considering to replace my (good old) Smoke Detectors with connected ones… Obviously, I want detectors: having their own speakers (as the first items to burn could be the Homey, my Router, my Modem, … ) but I don’t want false alarm in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, false alarms are …

I use Heiman smoke alarms and have never had a false alarm. However, the Heiman are not networked.

No false alarms from my Somfy smoke detectors, apart from one out of the 5 that developed a fault and goes off continuously. Even the one outside of the kitchen door hasn’t given a false alarm when cooking, where the old smoke alarm was frequently sounding when the oven door was opened.

Hi I got one xiaomi aqara smoke detector works great no problems good detection. The Tuya smoke detectors work s great it reacts to smoke so? I only get a false battery after a restart of Homey. I stil kept my old ones. I hope you can make your choice!

i have 6 pc Heiman HEI_HEIEHS3SA and 2 pc Heiman co detectors, none of these gave a false alarm in 3 years. (all Zwave) I tested them a while ago with simple smoke - all still work. Swapped 2 batteries in that period.
