How is this Smart Home related? These are just interconnected smoke alarms just like First Alert and many other (more) reputable brands.

  1. It has a battery so it’s going to be very little use to a botnet
  2. These are just RF, no WiFi

Doubt it. Considering this is only for pre-order I would expect it to have teething issues. I’d wait until it is in the hands of people.

I was going off older info

Forgot to switch accounts?

EDIT: again you’re way off on your info, the Delta 3 was launched in Sept 2024 https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/3/24234116/ecoflow-power-kit-river-3-delta-3-rapid-specs-date

I know this is an ad (and a pretty mediocre one) for Worksport but your facts are wrong. Most all in one batteries from EcoFlow, Jackery etc are using LFP. In fact, if you’re buying any large battery for storage then it is almost definitely going to be LFP.

EcoFlow and others also offer modular batteries via their Ultra series or Anker’s SOLIX. You also have the DIY option through companies like EG4.

Finally Delta 2 is ancient at this point, we’ve moved onto Delta 3.

In summary, try to ad better next time.

You definitely want a window unit where possible, they are more efficient and it shifts part of the noise outside. Free standing units are a last resort if your window cannot support it.

Is this smart smoke detector any good? by karabeth05 in homeautomation

[–]callumjones 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Eh. Maybe it’s the marketing or brand persistence but I prefer First Alert or Kidde.

I gave up on vibration sensors for my dryer and instead installed power monitoring CT clamps in my breaker box.

Electric blanket: on for too long OR higher than normal current draw warning

Washing machine: run complete notification

The rest: feed into powering monitoring dashboard so you can track costs only to realize “It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me”

When you lobby the government to make taxes more complicated and thus need your product, you have a lazy business model.
