The Fire Beam BLUE (FIREBEAM-BLUE) from The Fire Beam Company is a conventional reflective optical beam smoke detector with a motorised, self-aligning head. You commission and control it from a smartphone or tablet over Bluetooth® instead of a wired controller. The app does the same jobs as a low-level controller and doesn't need a phone signal or internet connection. It connects to conventional fire alarm systems, and to analogue addressable systems through additional interface modules.
