Fire alarm reliability. Is it working at all???

[Guest shapa]

Today my wife burnt some food.

A LOT of smoke. Fibaro sensor installed in kitchen (as well as others) was completely silent.

Nest sensors installed in other rooms started to work (they are interlinked) and notified us about possible fire.

I'd say - extremely dangerous and useless toy.

Fibaro, any comments?

I'm ordering three Nests from USA as well. Do you know if they're compatible with HC2 (today, we can't rely on 4.0 never coming or being stable), Vera, or any home automation systems? Should I expect problems with different frequencies or any other issues?

It looks a little bigger than Fibaro's, but still reasonably small.

When it comes to security devices, stability and reliability comes first. Everything else is secondary. I wish Fibaro would understand this and start to deliver upon it. For this kind of equipment, it shouldn't even be possible to turn off audio alarms or reduce sensitivity without getting a warning from the system.

And yes, completely agree... I have a fair confidence in my detectors, but as I read about more and more people raising conserns about the fibaro smoke sensor, I start to worry if this is something that might appear over time!
