Technical specifications for the Feit Electric unit identify a 2.4GHz WiFi chipset (FCC ID: SYW-WIFIAGB) for cloud-based telemetry. Internal hardware analysis suggests a white-label Tuya OEM architecture. The device utilizes an omni-directional acoustic microphone tuned to the frequency of shattering tempered, plate, and laminated glass, providing a detection radius of approximately 15 to 20 feet.
Power is provided by two AAA batteries, which support both the acoustic monitoring circuit and the high power requirements of WiFi polling. Performance data indicates that cloud-side notification latency can exceed 15 seconds, and the local 100dB siren is subject to firmware stability. Aggregated data lists significant reported battery drain due to the overhead of maintaining a constant network heartbeat.
Verified Components
- Protocol: 802.11 b/g/n (2.4GHz only).
- Output: 100dB siren at 0.1 meters.
- Interface: Feit Electric / Tuya Smart cloud ecosystem.
Aggregated technical reports indicate that the device may enter "zombie states" on standard ISP routers, necessitating periodic power cycles. The lack of a sensitivity potentiometer means the threshold for acoustic triggering is factory-fixed.
For a more stable, hub-based connection that avoids the latency of cloud-dependent WiFi, the Aqara Zigbee Sensor offers a locally processed alternative with a 6-axis accelerometer.
This unit is placed within the glass break sensors hardware classification for comparative specification review.
