Honeywell 5808W3 Wireless Photoelectric Smoke/Heat Detector

Already had these in my house and they work great but wanted to add more. For the most part easy to install but here are a few tips that helped me:-If your alarm is monitored, be sure to call and have it put on "test".-Some videos say to put your panel in programming mode and then open the cover on the smoke alarm which sends a signal and programs it. In my case it programmed the tamper alarm (opening the cover) as if that were the smoke alarm. It's better to program it manually with the code on the unit.-Keypad programming is not fun on many systems including mine. If you have phone app or computer access to your system, try one of those. It's much easier!

Replaced older model from 2009. Backplate is like 10 mm smaller so theres some wall edging that is a little rough. I will need to touch up around the device, however NO PAINT on device!! That is what ruined my other one. The painters were told not to pain it, therefore they removed the outer shell and painted over the back plate completely! Needless to say the adrenaline rose quickly upon the tampered failed unit I just had newly installed 2 days before painting. After trying to correct the tampered device, I was forced to purchase a new one based on Xfiniti's professional recommendation. They finally returned yesterday to replace it and reconfigure my system with the new smoke detector. It works great and now feel updated and safe with my entire house wired. Today I install the Ring. Will write a review after a couple of weeks, but expect to hear good things on this device. Great replacement and Happy with the honeywell wireless smoke detector. Is a good value.!

I have a Honeywell Lyric alarm system in my house. I got this detector to add to my system. We decided to add a smoke detector in the garage because we charge an electric scooter out there and you just never know. It wasn’t code back in 1995 to put a smoke detector in the garage but the more we thought about it we decided it was important to add one there and hence this purchase. It was shipped in one day and I had it programmed and installed in 10 minutes. It came with a CR 123 battery and well written instructions for Installation, programming, set up and maintenance. This is a high quality heat and smoke detector that is NFPA approved and UL listed.

Wireless smoke and CO2 a lot more economical than hiring a company. Make sure you purchase the batteries they last about five years.

This is a solid product and easy to install into the Lifeshield security system. it took me less than 10 minutes to power the device up and connect it to Lifeshield AND mount the detector!I wanted to ensure that they were tested, so I called Lifeshield and they put my system into test and the units worked perfect.I highly recommend this unit and can confirm that it is compatible with lifeshield.

I got this together with a wireless CO detector to complete my alarm system. The product works as it should - it is compatible with several systems hence the only problem is that instructions are too generic to be useful. Make sure you know how to set this in your specific system.

This is an expensive smoke detector. But, it is worth the money because it ties into my alarm system. Besides smoke it is also a temperature detector. It will let my alarm company know if it gets below freezing or if it gets too hot. I had a regular smoke detector, but it is in my little place in the country, so if it went off when I was not there no one would know. Now, with it hooked in to my alarm system I will be notified if it ever goes off where ever I am. Piece of mind and safety too.

Great addition and easy to install, not much more to say beyond the description. I added this to a LYNXR-EN system - programming the panel can be challenging if you're not used to it, but that's not the detectors fault. As noted in another review, this should be mounted before enrolling it.Tested with an incense stick and alarmed right away... and I was on the phone with the alarm company shortly there after. =)Did not test the heat function.** update 2014 **I've since moved on to a newer panel and love it! I've also ordered another one of these smoke detectors for the another room (3 total now). The others are still going strong! One is near both a bathroom and a wood stove and I'm happy to report it has NOT once false alarmed.
