New Scottish Fire Alarm Rules - Suggestions for Hardware?

Well today is the day! But I still haven’t decided what to get and there really isn’t much on offer. I personally think i’ll be holding off until there is something more suitable on the market, although I doubt a change in Scottish law will have manufacturers scrambling to release things :joy:

What did you guys end up installing?

Definitely NOT FireAngel, faulty devices, short battery life

Yeah, I saw only bad things of FireAngel

Homematic ip smoke alarm seems to be the only suitable system I can find

I have been using the FireAngel Pro Connected alarms for well over a year now and have had no issues with them. The bridge is pretty rubbish, but you can build your own and integrate them directly into Home Assistant. See discussion here and the direct link to the project on GitHub here.

Wow, so the community made solution works better than the one they sell? I guess the same could be said about the actual alarms if their hub is anything to go by

Yes, the community bridge has been rock solid for me. There’s nothing wrong with the alarms, just the bridge they sell is very flaky. I wasn’t able to find anything better and am totally happy with how the alarms are working with the custom built bridge.
