Just gone to replace some Kidde units. KF1 now the KF10, KF2 the KF20 and so on. Of course, not only have they changed the alarm but the base patress too! Love it when manufacturers do this. It'd be so easy to twist the old one off and unplug it. Then just plug in the old one. That'd be too easy. 

Now come on Onoff. They are not going to do that. Can you imagine if the R and D department did that. They would be told to go away and redesign with a new base. ££££££££££££££££

I've got boxes of old Telemechanique switchgear in perfect condition from before a range change years back. Completely non interchangeable with the next generation. Ffs a push button is a push button! Ditto other manufacturers.

Alco look good, but we need a "Grade A" system as once we include garage the ground floor is >200m2.   Who have people use for Grade A fire alarm?
