    No, our devices are factory-calibrated and require no routine calibration. Simple maintenance includes pressing the test button monthly to ensure functionality. The devices are designed to be maintenance-free, reducing the need for technician visits.

  • Q: What technologies do the sensors use to minimize false alarms?

    Our sensors incorporate advanced technologies and algorithms to minimize false alarms and enhance detection accuracy:
    Smoke detectors utilize dual infrared (IR) LEDs for smoke detection along with a single IR receiver. This setup allows the sensor to detect smoke from different angles, while the chip analysis processes the data to ensure that only significant smoke concentrations trigger the alarm, reducing false alarms caused by steam, cooking smoke, or other non-fire events.
    Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors employ electrochemical sensors, which are highly specific to carbon monoxide gas. These sensors detect even low levels of CO, ensuring that the alarm is triggered only in the presence of toxic gas, while minimizing false alarms caused by other gases.
    Door/window sensors use a magnetic detection system, triggering an alarm only when the magnet and the main unit are separated, ensuring alerts are given only when the door or window is actually opened.
    Water leak detectors feature an automatic short-circuiting mechanism that is triggered when the sensor comes into contact with water, ensuring an alarm is activated only when a sustained water leak is detected.
    These technologies work together to provide reliable and accurate detection, minimizing unnecessary alarms while ensuring your safety.

  • Q: How is data security and user privacy handled by these smart devices?

    Data security is a priority for us. Communication between devices, the hub/app, and the cloud is encrypted using AES128 and TLS/HTTPS. Devices have unique authentication processes to prevent unauthorized access. Tuya’s platform is GDPR-compliant and uses secure data storage practices.
