EZVIZ CS-B1 Smart Alarm Kit - 4-Piece Home Sensor Kit with ZigBee Gateway, PIR, Door Sensor and Smart Button

EZVIZ CS-B1 Smart Alarm Kit - 4-Piece Home Sensor Kit

The EZVIZ CS-B1 is a wireless smart alarm kit for the home: EZVIZ's 4-piece home sensor kit. The A3 home gateway connects to your router by network cable or 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and talks to three sensors over ZigBee 3.0: a T1C PIR motion sensor with a pet shield, a T2C open/close sensor for a door or window, and a T3C smart button to arm, disarm or raise an emergency alarm. When a sensor detects activity you get an alert on your phone in the EZVIZ app, and if someone forces their way in, the gateway sets off a loud alarm.

Also listed as CS-B1-A0-A34 and known as the EZVIZ B1. Gateway CS-A3-A0-W, PIR sensor CS-T1C-A0-BG, open/close sensor CS-T2C-A0-BG, smart button CS-T3C-A0-BG.

Worth knowing before you order

• Alerts go to your phone through the EZVIZ app. EZVIZ does not state an alarm grade or a connection to an alarm receiving centre.
• The gateway runs from its adapter and needs an internet connection, by network cable or 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
• EZVIZ states that only the T1C, T2C and T3C sensors can currently be paired with the A3 gateway.
• Recording on a sensor alert needs a wired EZVIZ camera on firmware 5.3.4 or later; following movement on a sensor alert is only on the C6 Smart Camera.
• EZVIZ gives no weatherproof rating, so fit all four parts indoors.

Common questions

How do I set up the EZVIZ alarm kit?

Plug in the A3 gateway, connect it to your router by cable or Wi-Fi, then add the gateway and the sensors in the EZVIZ app. The sensors fit with their adhesive backs and the supplied tape strips, so there is no wiring.

Does the EZVIZ alarm kit need Wi-Fi?

The A3 gateway needs an internet connection: plug it into your router with a network cable, or connect it over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. The sensors talk to the gateway over ZigBee 3.0, not Wi-Fi.

Will my pet set off the motion sensor?

Fit the pet shield to the T1C and mount the sensor at least 50 cm above your pet, as EZVIZ recommends. The recommended height for wall mounting is 1.8 to 2.5 m.

What does the smart button do?

It arms and disarms the system, or works as an emergency button. Single click, double click and long press are all recognised. It talks to the gateway over ZigBee, so use it within range of the gateway.

Which batteries do the sensors use?

The PIR sensor takes a CR2450, the open/close sensor two CR1632 cells and the smart button a CR2032. EZVIZ quotes up to 2 years on each (the PIR up to 1 year in high-performance mode), and you get a low battery reminder.

Can I add more sensors later?

The A3 gateway can connect up to 32 battery-powered devices, but EZVIZ states that only the three sensor models in this kit can be connected at present.

Does the EZVIZ alarm kit work with Alexa or Google Assistant?

Yes. EZVIZ says the sensor system can be voice-enabled with Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa.
