frient Intelligent Smoke Alarm Zigbee smoke detector

Quick verdict

A smoke alarm that is smart where it counts. It will sound its built-in siren whether your network is up or not, but when connected to Home Assistant over Zigbee, it can also trigger lights, send notifications, and kick off emergency automations. The safety-first design means it never depends on your smart home to do its primary job. A sensible upgrade over dumb smoke detectors for any Zigbee household.

Standout: Certified smoke alarm with Zigbee connectivity that sounds locally and notifies Home Assistant.

Why it stands out

certified smoke alarm that also reports to Home Assistant for smart automations
functions as a standalone smoke alarm even if your Zigbee network goes down
temperature reporting adds extra data for environmental monitoring

Reasons to hesitate

requires a Zigbee coordinator for the smart features
pricier than non-smart smoke detectors
EU-focused availability, so check local fire safety certification requirements

Best for

Home Assistant users who want smoke detection integrated into their automations
EU households looking for a smart smoke alarm that works independently if the network fails

Avoid if

you just need a basic smoke alarm. A standard detector costs a fraction of the price
you need a smoke alarm certified for your specific non-EU market
