Alright, let me break down my experience with this Zigbee Smart Siren Alarm. First off, the packaging was decent, but the instructions? Tiny font, almost unreadable. Had to grab a magnifying glass – not kidding!

The biggest headache? The hub requirement. Nowhere on the product page was it clear that you NEED a Tuya Zigbee hub. I had to dig through reviews to find out. Super annoying, especially since they sell multiple hubs and not all are compatible.

Once I got the right hub (after some back-and-forth with customer service), setup was... okay. The app (Tuya Smart) is functional but not super intuitive. Pairing took a few tries – hold the reset button until it flashes, then pray it connects.

Sound-wise, it’s loud but definitely not 100dB as advertised. More like 60dB – enough to startle but not deafen. The 18 alarm sounds are a nice touch though! The flashing red light is bright and noticeable.

Battery life? Meh. Even with fresh batteries (mine thankfully weren’t expired), it drains fast unless plugged in constantly. The USB power cable works fine, but don’t rely on battery backup for long.

Final thoughts: If you’re deep into Zigbee/Home Assistant (like me), it’s usable once you jump through hoops. But for casual users? Hard pass unless you love troubleshooting.
