  1. Hi,

     

    Please can you recommend a smoke alarm suitable for connection to a texecom premier elite that is good for a garage/workshop area?

     

    I'm guessing (given use of angle grinders, woodworking equipment, etc) an optical alarm is not a good idea.

     

    The garage is also poorly sealed (large gaps around the door) so does get very cold in the winter.

     

    I was wondering about the Texecom Exodus RR/4W. It seems to be recommended for places where temperature won't exceed 38C, which sounds likely for my garage. Would it be a good choice?

     

    Thanks

  2. Thanks for your thoughts!

     

    Have you had bad experiences with the pyronix? I was hoping the inclusion of microwave tech + it's pet immunity would reduce false activations.

     

    You're right that false activations aren't a major issue, but currently the security lights (controlled from a cheap PIR) keep coming on all night when it's windy and that's freaking my wife out, so I was hoping to improve on that. We get a lot of cats and foxes as well.

     

    Would the pet immune takex ( https://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/takex-external-12m-pet-tolerant-pir-dual-head-p-2038.html ) and optex ( https://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/optex-12m-wide-outdoor-sensor-with-anti-mask-p-3967.html ) be what you recommend? They seem to be about double the price for a similar (on paper) spec to the pyronix - just trying to understand the difference, I'm not adverse to paying more to get something that performs better.

  3. Of the ones that are sensibly priced and look like they won't generate false alarms, the Pyronix XD10TT-AM is the best match I've found so far:

    12V, dual PIR + microwave, pet (wildlife) immune - the spec seems to tick all the buttons.

     

    I plan to use it for a combination of a driveway chime, to activate a flood light (in combination with a photocell), and as in input to start CCTV recording.

     

    It has an (optional) wall bracket that looks well worth getting too.
