If I fitted a smoke detector to my EF-KIT2, can I set the main panel to phone me with a message indicating a fire rather than the existing message saying intruder alert?
John Parker, Ringwood
The alarm will only indicate that the alarm has been activated and will therefore only advise intruder.
Will the wireless smoke detector work as an indoor siren, i.e. will the detector sound if the main alarm system detects an intrusion?
Bob, Urmston
The smoke detector siren will sound if there is a fire only and the external siren will also trigger in this situation. For any events other than a fire, the smoke detector will not sound.
If your smoke detector went off will this trigger a notification to your phone? If you're out and a fire starts, would you be notified as long as the smoke detector picks it up?
Andy, Surrey
If smoke is detected, the alarm siren will sound and you will receive a notification to your phone.
Is the smoke alarm active even if the house alarm isn't set?
DAMIAN A RAND, Gravesend
The smoke alarm will sound if smoke is detected in the property, even if the alarm system is not set, as long as the smoke alarm is synced to the alarm system.
