Honeywell SiX Smoke Detectors Frequently Asked Questions
Are a Smoke Alarm and a Smoke Detector The Same Thing?
No, a Smoke Detector is tied to a separate alarm system. A Smoke Alarm is a stand-alone device or group of devices. Keep reading for details on these devices.
Smoke Detector vs. Heat Detector
A smoke detector responds to the presence of smoke. A heat detector responds to unusually high temperatures. Both indicate that there is a fire. Learn about fire-safety products.
Which Systems Do the Honeywell Wireless Smokes Tap Into?
Honeywell Wireless Smoke Detectors are designed for Honeywell Systems. But there are some other systems that can support these devices. Learn about Honeywell Smoke Detectors.
How Do I Reset the Fire Alarm on My Security System?
In most cases, disarming the system twice will reset the fire alarm and clear the display. The smoke detector must be free of smoke when doing this. Learn to reset the fire alarm.
Which Smoke Detectors are Apple HomeKit Compatible?
Any smoke detector that is connected with a Honeywell Lyric Alarm System is compatible with Apple HomeKit. Find out which smoke detectors will work with Apple HomeKit.
Are Honeywell Smokes Compatible w/ Google Home?
A Honeywell Smoke Detector will not work with Google Home, even if the panel's interactive service is compatible. Find out why smoke detectors are incompatible with Google Home.
Which Sensors are Compatible with the Lyric Alarm System?
The Lyric Security System will support encrypted Honeywell SiX Series Sensors that operate at 2.4 GHz. It will also support sensors that operate at 345 MHz. This includes any Honeywell 5800 Series Sensor and any 2GIG Sensor. Find out which sensors are compatible with the Lyric Controller.
Honeywell 5800COMBO vs Honeywell SiXSMOKE
The 5800COMBO and the SiXSMOKE are both fire-safety devices from Honeywell. The 5800COMBO provides smoke, heat and CO detection, while the SiXSMOKE only provides smoke and heat detection. However, the SiXSMOKE is encrypted, while the 5800COMBO is not. Learn more about these two devices.
How Does a Fire Detector Work?
There are two primary methods for detecting a fire. These are through either smoke detection and heat detection. For that reason, a "fire detector" is more commonly referred to as a "smoke detector" or a "heat detector". There are also combo smoke and heat sensors. Learn more about these devices.
What's the Best Place to Install a Smoke Detector?
When choosing a location for a smoke detector, there are some things to remember. For example, it should be placed away from any vents or ducts that might affect its performance. It should also be at least 10 feet away from any kitchen appliances. Learn more about where to place a smoke detector.
