Network wireless smoke detectors across several floors: How X-Sense Link+ protects your whole house!
X-Sense wireless smoke detectors in the test: In my multi-storey old building with thick walls, it was clear that normal smoke alarms were not enough. I installed the X-Sense Link Plus system with wirelessly networked smoke detectors and CO detectors and put it through its paces. In this article, I show how smoke detectors with wireless technology perform in practice, how the setup works with and without an app and which variant is suitable for which application scenario. You’ll also find information on mandatory smoke alarms in Germany, the technology behind the devices and my detailed practical test with video.

Install 8kW diesel parking heater safely in the workshop & garage
In this article, I show you how I heat my workshop efficiently, permanently and reliably with an 8 kW diesel parking heater from KROAK. I planned and implemented the complete installation of the diesel parking heater step by step – from safe exhaust gas routing to fuel supply and hot air distribution. It’s not just about technology, but also about safety, consumption, control via app and the question of whether heating oil can be an alternative to diesel. If you are looking for a workshop heater that also works at low temperatures, you will find all the details here.
