Great choice to invest into the safety of yourself and your loved ones inside

through the Hombli app, wherever you are, helps you to take action and prevent
loss or damage. If you accidentally trigger the alarm while exploring your
cooking skills, you don’t have to rapidly try to reach for the ceiling.
Instead you can just turn it off with your smartphone. Need extra help? Visit

Location advice
Install multiple Smart Smoke Detectors in your home to ensure maximum
protection.
Before installing this device, also check your local legislation.
Recommended locations
- Required by law in most countries: At least one on every floor where people live
- Highly recommended: All bedrooms, hallways and remote rooms
- Extra protection: Living room, attic and basement
DO NOT place the Smoke Detector here:
- Next to air vents, fans and central heating
- Dusty, dirty areas, areas with insects and easily polluted places (Garage)
- Places with difficult access (making it difficult to operate the test function)
- Next to doors or windows
- Close to a fireplace or a wood-burning stove
- Areas with high humidity or cooking fumes (Kitchens, bathrooms)
Placement advice
- In the middle of the ceiling (if that is not possible, install it at least 30cm away from corners)
- If the length of the room or hall is more than 9m long, multiple Smart Smoke Detectors should be installed
- If the wall or ceiling is slanted, the Smart Smoke Detector needs to be installed at least 50cm away from the highest wall or ceiling point in the room
- If the Smart Smoke Detector is installed on the wall, it should be at least 10cm away from the ceiling.
Check the Wi-Fi connection
After you have found a good position to mount your Smart Smoke Detector, check the Wi-Fi signal. When you are standing where you want to mount the Smart Smoke Detector, check the Wi-Fi connection of your smartphone or conduct a manual test of the Smart Smoke Detector, by pressing the logo to check if you get a notification. If the Wi-Fi connection is good, continue to the following paragraph 4.4. If the Wi-Fi signal is poor, try to find another position, or move your router closer to the preferred location, or use an access point or extender.
Installing the Smart Smoke Detector
Before installing the Smart Smoke Detector, choose between three mounting
options. We do not recommend using option 2 if the surface has a rough
texture. For ease of maintenance, we recommend using option 1.
Option 1 – Magnetic mount and a screw
Option 2 – Magnetic mount and 3M tape
Note: Clean the surface before sticking the 3M tape to the ceiling.
Option 3 – Screw based installation
Maintenance
Clean the Smart Smoke Detector at least once a month with a vacuum cleaner with the brush nozzle. While cleaning the device, also check the alarm function, like described in step 3. In the Hombli app, view the log to see if the daily automatic battery and sensor check is successful.

The notifications in the Hombli app requires a functional Wi-Fi connection. If
the Smart Smoke Detector detects smoke, but has no connection to your Wi-Fi-
network, the alarm will go off like normal. However, you will NOT get a
notification on your phone. Therefore, you should never solely rely on these
notifications.
All electronic devices, including this Smart Smoke Detector, have a chance of
failing. There is a chance that, in case of a fire, the device will not warn
you because the alarm did not go off, or because the alarm did not go off in
time. Make sure you test your Smart Smoke Detector regularly to maximize the
chance of being alerted in time by the device.
