Wireless interconnected smoke alarms work by communicating with each other using a radio frequency (RF) signal, without the need to physically install hard cabling between each alarm.
When one alarm detects smoke, it will wirelessly ‘talk’ to all other alarms paired within the same network using the RF signal, so that all activate simultaneously (usually within 10 seconds of the initial detection). This provides a greater early warning and response time for occupants, especially in multi-story dwellings.
Our smoke alarms cannot be affected by other household RF devices (i.e. wireless smoke alarms situated in neighbouring properties) as the technology is purposely designed to eliminate any such interference during the unique network pairing process.
TV or A/C remote controls do not interfere with our alarms either as they typically use different technology (infrared IR vs radio frequency RF). The alarms do not use internet or home WiFi.
