sixwheeledbeast Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Depending on the system I much prefer the Aico low voltage option now. I would consider for it to be an auxiliary/ancillary it should have some way to function on it's own, which is not the case with your standard 12v smoke. I would argue that the fire detector being considered ancillary is not a good idea, ancillary by definition makes it less important than the system it's ancillary to.

sixwheeledbeast Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Yep wireless only tho. They are labelled up as a Grade 2 item funnily enough. There's also a stand alone receiver module so you can stick em on any controls.

AICO had a cloud system waiting in the wings for their mains alarms it would seem, but no mention on the website currently, it's vanished...

aissecur Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I've used a lot of aico's domestically with very few issues - they get a thumbs up from me A cloud based system would be interesting Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/42954-grade-3-with-smoke-alarms/page/3/#findComment-486666 Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) There is a white box that I assume would connect via wifi to t'internet, and it would work only with the newer SmartLink enabled devices There was even a portal website but nothing on the homepage other than Username / PW login boxes If you look at some pics on the news section, you can see boards at exhibitions and the demo truck detailing the new system 'coming soon' but that was back in April. All other mention seems to have been removed with the new website. I do wonder if they have realised the service would be more useful to landlords and that a 4G sim-on-chip built into every box and then activated for a monthly charge would get more of an uptake?
