Abus Smartvest wireless smoke and heat alarms

The ABUS Smartvest wireless smoke and heat detector (FURM35000A) is not Z-Wave compatible. The manufacturer's documentation and official sources do not mention compatibility with Z-Wave systems. The detector uses its own radio technology to communicate with the Smartvest control panel and other components of the Smartvest system, but there is no indication of integration with Z-Wave products such as the Ring Alarm.
Automatically generated from the .Smoke detectors can be coupled, but they do not repeat. This means that if device 1 triggers and device 2 is within range, then device 2 also triggers. But the device that triggers the alarm must be able to report the information to the gateway. Device 2 sounds loudly, but communicates nothing further. There is the Smartvest wireless socket (LHAP00) and this can function as a repeater for a single smoke alarm. This can be enough to integrate a smoke detector that is further away. However, if many devices are out of range, there is a better option, such as a new gateway from Abus, the Z-Wave and Smartvest. Z-Wave has the advantage that every device connected to the power supply acts as a repeater and a larger Z-Wave mesh can be created. This way, you can at least keep the installed components and integrate more distant devices via the other protocol.
