Would be most useful if in your reviews you could indicate whether each product requires use of its own app and whether you have to open an account with that company. Better when you can put stuff right into HomeKit without all that.
If youre in the US, Meross smoke detectors wont qualify for the return policy. different fire safety standards for different countries. I ordered 3 and was going to use a usbc to power the hub and get rid of the UK power adapter. they dont offer US power adapter. My order was running late so i emailed the company and they told me about not qualifying for the return policy so instead of taking a chance, i cancelled my order. looking for an alternative within the same price range. also I dont think Bosch ships to US either.
And another thing. What a wierd mix of EU only (Bosch). and USA (First alert onelink) only firedetectors???? What country is this video intended for????
Bosch "Is fully homekit compatible". Only if you buy the expensive hub. I get the feeling you have not even touched the product.
Thanks for the insight.

Thanks for your feedback.
We will work on these in our future videos.

If all you do is read the manufacturer's marketing info, you are not adding value
Thanks for your feedback.
We will try to improve our contents.
Fully agreed. This video is garbage.
Honestly the best one is still the Nest Protect bridged to HomeKit via a Starling Home Hub.
Yeah, that works pretty good.
Waiting for Matter enabled smoke/carbon detectors that don't require a hub.
I bought a smoke alarm from Wisualarm, also a good one
Sounds great!
Can’t find the last one.
It's on Amazon.
maybe on a different name@@SmartHome101
Can any of these work outdoors?
yes they will work out door.
Why would you put smoke detectors outside?
@@MTM358Incase theirs smoke outside
Does the Bosch and Meross use WiFi
boosh uses zigbee 3 and merls uses hub
Meross no longer available at Amazon
I’ve just ordered one
What about Android phones?
Some android phones can alert you about smoke.

We intend this video for global audience.
It’s AI generated. These videos are made cheaply and quickly through AI.
One Link is the worst HomeKit product I have ever used. 😔
5 years of problems
Which one are you currently using?
@@SmartHome101 the combo with speaker and AirPlay 2 the crapiest smoke detector on the planet.
Most of your links to the products don't work and the one that did had a 3.7 review another words everybody hated it.
Thanks for your feedback.
We are working on this issue.
Generic crap video that leaves out convenient details about cost, hub, etc.
