Does the Smart Smoke Sensor use Zigbee?
Yes. ORVIBO specifies Zigbee as the networking method for the SF30 Smart Smoke Sensor.
Does the Smart Smoke Sensor require a Zigbee hub?
A compatible Zigbee gateway or smart-home hub is required for connected smart-home functions such as remote notifications and app-based monitoring.
What is the wireless range?
ORVIBO specifies a wireless networking distance of up to 80 meters under the stated test conditions. Actual indoor range can be lower because of walls and interference.
How loud is the Smart Smoke Sensor?
The official ORVIBO installation specification lists an alarm sound pressure of 80dB at 3 meters.
Does the Smart Smoke Sensor have a visual alarm indicator?
Yes. ORVIBO specifies a flashing red LED indicator to provide a visual warning during an alarm condition.
Does the Smart Smoke Sensor provide low battery warnings?
Yes. The sensor provides a low-voltage warning. ORVIBO specifies a low-voltage warning point of 2.6V ± 0.2V.
Can the Smart Smoke Sensor send phone alerts?
Yes. When connected to a compatible smart-home gateway and configured application, smoke events can be used to generate remote notifications.
Can I check the smoke sensor remotely?
Yes. Connected smart-home systems can provide remote status monitoring through a compatible application.
Can the Smart Smoke Sensor be muted remotely?
Remote mute functionality is listed among the ORVIBO product features and depends on the supported smart-home system configuration.
Where should the Smart Smoke Sensor be installed?
ORVIBO specifies ceiling installation. The final position should also comply with applicable fire-safety requirements and the manufacturer's installation guidance.
Can the Smart Smoke Sensor be installed outdoors?
The published specification does not provide an outdoor IP rating, so the sensor should be treated as an indoor device.
What is the operating temperature?
The specified operating temperature range is -10°C to 55°C.
What humidity can the sensor handle?
ORVIBO specifies maximum ambient humidity of 95% RH.
What are the dimensions of the Smart Smoke Sensor?
The ORVIBO SF30 measures approximately 90mm in diameter and 37mm in height, specified as Φ90 × 37mm.
Is the Smart Smoke Sensor suitable for Dubai homes?
Yes, it can be used for suitable indoor residential applications in Dubai, provided the installation environment is within the specified temperature and humidity range and complies with applicable UAE fire-safety requirements.
Can it be used in villas and apartments?
Yes. The sensor is suitable for indoor residential applications including villas and apartments when installed correctly.
Can it be used in offices?
Yes. ORVIBO identifies office and other suitable indoor environments as potential applications for the Smart Smoke Sensor.
Does the Smart Smoke Sensor detect fire directly?
The sensor is designed to detect smoke associated with potential fire hazards. It should not be treated as a complete fire-detection or fire-protection system by itself.
Does the sensor need Wi-Fi?
The sensor itself communicates using Zigbee rather than direct Wi-Fi. Internet access for remote notifications depends on the connected Zigbee gateway and smart-home system.
Can it be included in smart-home automation scenes?
Yes. When supported by the connected Zigbee gateway and smart-home platform, smoke events can be used as triggers for configured automation scenes and notifications.
How should the sensor be maintained?
Keep the sensor clean, monitor its status and replace the battery when a low-battery warning occurs. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance and testing guidance.
Is the Smart Smoke Sensor a replacement for a fire alarm system?
No. It should be considered an additional smart smoke detection device and used as part of an appropriate fire-safety system that complies with applicable local requirements.
