We have previously tested the Elro FS4610 in PC-Active 321 and we liked it.

For example, this thinnest smoke detector in the world with its 2.3 cm height and a diameter of 11.5 cm is hardly noticeable.

It has an optical sensor that reacts quickly to fire and gives less false alarms, as shown in our tests, a smart sensor that automatically dims the LED lighting in dark rooms and a built-in lithium battery (lifespan 10 years). The alarm is really loud at 85 dB(A) and this smoke detector complies with the European standard EN 14604:2005/AC:2008. The automatic self-test is handy, so you don’t have to test whether it still works. Moreover, this smoke detector is easy to install and comes with a 10-year warranty.

It is a pity that there is no app, but what we mainly miss is the fact that it cannot be linked with other smoke detectors – something that we do recommend for smoke detectors. It does have an excellent price-quality ratio and the aforementioned advantages.
