Hi
I'm having a full house rewire. I want to have mains smoke alarms, heat alarms, carbon alarm next to boiler, internet connectivity to notify an app via gateway and a wall controller to test/silence.
Based on this I've priced up a FireAngel system (just on components) at ÂŁ500. I've done a like for like on the spreadsheet looking at Aico and it comes out at ÂŁ900.
The electricians that have come out have all recommended Aico. The thing is each alarm requires a separate rf module, which adds ÂŁ330 to the price. It's a shame they aren't built in, even if the alarm was slightly more expensive.
Anyone has experience of both?
If I went with wired Aico, using the RF module is required to communicate with Ei1000G SmartLINK Gateway, which means no communication wire between them. I can't see which app you would get alerts on, there are different aico apps on the store by different developers.
p.s I like Google Nest but they've shot themselves in the foot not doing a heat alarm
Thanks
