Where to place your smoke detector?

In the Netherlands, it is legally required to have a smoke detector on every living floor and in enclosed spaces through which an escape route passes.

In addition to meeting legal obligations, we advise you to optimize fire safety in your home by installing smoke detectors in strategic locations:

• Escape routes: Install smoke detectors in hallways and near stairs, especially if they lead to bedrooms. This way, smoke is detected quickly, allowing you to react in time.
• Bedrooms: Install smoke detectors in or near bedrooms so the alarm can alert residents even at night.
• Living rooms: A smoke detector in the living room is important, especially if there is a fireplace or other heat sources.
• Near the kitchen: Do not place a smoke detector directly in the kitchen due to the risk of false alarms from cooking fumes. Hang it near the kitchen, or opt for the Aroha Heat Detector for the kitchen itself.
• To avoid: Bathrooms, garages, and other damp areas increase the risk of false alarms.

Frequently asked questions

• Which app does the Aroha Home Smoke Detector work with? With any Matter-compatible app, such as Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant, Ikea Home Smart, Samsung SmartThings, and many more. Not compatible with Tuya Smart or SmartLife.
• What can I set up in the app? Receive alarm notifications, check the status, and set up automations such as: turning on smart lighting, switching off ventilation, unlocking doors, or playing a voice announcement. Functionalities depend on and may differ per Matter app; you set them up entirely yourself.
• How does Matter over Thread work? Matter is the universal smart standard: it ensures that devices from different brands work together seamlessly, regardless of the platform you use (such as Home Assistant, Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings, etc.). Thread is the wireless network over which Matter messages are sent. Thread uses a so-called mesh network: devices amplify each other's signal, making the connection more reliable and stable than with regular Wi-Fi. Furthermore, Thread consumes much less power, ideal for a battery-powered smoke detector.
• What is a Thread Border Router? To connect the Aroha Home smoke detector, you need a Thread Border Router. This is a device that connects the Thread network to your home network. Many people already have one without knowing it. It is built into devices such as an Apple HomePod, Apple TV 4K, Google Nest Hub, or Amazon Echo (4th generation).
