EVOLVEO Alarmex Pro, chytrý bezdrátový Wi-Fi/GSM alarm, 4.3“ barevný displej IPS
An affordable wireless alarm that alerts over both Wi-Fi and a SIM card — useful precisely when your internet goes down.
What really sets the Alarmex Pro apart is its dual line of defence: it talks to the Tuya/Smart Life app over Wi-Fi and independently calls or texts up to five numbers through its own SIM card. For a complete starter kit at around 235 euros — panel, two key fobs, a door/window sensor, a motion detector and a mini siren — you get a lot of hardware. It's no professionally monitored service, but for a flat, holiday cabin or small home it's a genuine step up from a handful of standalone Wi-Fi cameras.
Reasons to buy
- Runs on both Wi-Fi and a GSM SIM, so alerts keep coming even if the internet drops
- The 4.3-inch IPS touchscreen is bright and reads menu commands aloud — you can mostly set it up without the manual
- Expands to 200 sensors over 433 MHz, and you can pair other brands' detectors instead of being locked into one ecosystem
- Owners report zero false alarms after months of use and smooth integration with Google Assistant and Smart Life
Reasons to consider
- Leans heavily on the Tuya/Smart Life cloud — it works fine, but you're handing your security to an external cloud provider
- The SMS and call function needs a separate SIM card with credit, so expect recurring costs
- The built-in 500 mAh backup battery is modest; during a long power cut the panel won't last very long
Two alert lines instead of one
The clever part is the combination. Most cheap alarms only send a push over your Wi-Fi, and the moment your router fails — or a burglar simply unplugs it — you're deaf and blind. The Alarmex Pro adds a SIM slot, so it can call and text up to five numbers entirely on its own. That redundancy is exactly what you're paying for in this price bracket. At its core sits a panel just 12 mm thick with a processor running up to 600 MHz, which in practice means the touchscreen responds briskly rather than stuttering like some budget panels.
For those who don't mind the cloud
Honestly, underneath the tidy shell this is a Tuya product. That brings upsides — pairing with Google Assistant, Alexa and the rest of your Smart Life gear is effortless, and users say the Android/iOS app is simple to configure. The downside is that your security runs through Tuya's servers. For a shed, holiday home or rented flat that's fine; for anyone who refuses on principle to route security through an external cloud, it's a dealbreaker.
Who is it for?
Ideal for anyone who wants to self-install an affordable, expandable alarm in a flat, holiday cabin or small home and likes having everything run through an app and Google Assistant. Those after maximum break-in resistance or a cloud-free setup are better served by a certified, monitored system.
FAQ
Does the alarm still work if my internet goes down?
Yes. Besides Wi-Fi, the panel has a SIM card slot, so it can call and text up to five numbers on its own — even with no working internet connection. You do need to insert a SIM card with credit yourself.
Can I add more sensors later?
Absolutely. The system supports up to 200 wireless detectors on 433 MHz across as many as 100 zones. You can use EVOLVEO sensors but also compatible 433 MHz detectors from other brands, which makes expanding cheaper.
