| The eufy Smoke Alarm E10 has arrived in Europe |
If you have been holding out for a smoke detector that doesn’t scream bloody murder every time you sear a steak, your patience is about to pay off. Anker’s popular smart home brand, eufy, has officially launched its next-generation Smoke Alarm E10 across the European Union.
After a successful debut in the United States back in late 2025, the eufy E10 is now making its way across the Atlantic, promising European homeowners a blend of razor-thin design and high-tech intelligence that traditional "boring beige" detectors simply can't match.
A Cure for the "Kitchen Panic"
Anyone who has ever frantically waved a tea towel at a ceiling detector knows the frustration of false alarms. The eufy E10 aims to eliminate that particular brand of domestic chaos. It relies on advanced photoelectric detection technology, which is widely regarded as the gold standard for sensing slow, smoldering fires while ignoring the steam from your shower or the harmless smoke from burnt toast.
This means you get "accurate fire alerts" when there is a genuine threat, without the nuisance of false triggers that often lead homeowners to disable their alarms entirely—a dangerous practice that eufy is hoping to render obsolete.
Tiny Size, Mighty Noise
At first glance, the most striking feature of the E10 is its footprint. Measuring just 70mm in diameter, eufy claims this device is roughly 67% smaller than standard smoke alarms on the market. It’s designed to blend seamlessly into modern interiors rather than protrude obtrusively from the ceiling.
However, don't let the minimalist size fool you. When a real emergency is detected, this unit packs an auditory punch. It can generate a piercing 85 dB alarm within a 3-meter range—more than enough volume to wake a household and ensure everyone gets out safely.

Battery Life and the "Hub" Requirement
In a move away from hardwired installations, the Smoke Alarm E10 is a battery-powered device, running on a single CR123A battery. Anker promises a lifespan of up to five years on a single charge, meaning you won't have to worry about low-battery chirps in the middle of the night for half a decade.
However, there is an important caveat for potential buyers to note: this is not a standalone Bluetooth device. To function as a smart alarm, the E10 requires a HomeBase hub to connect to your Wi-Fi network. It is compatible with the HomeBase Mini, HomeBase 3, and the HomeBase Pro.
Once connected, the ecosystem transforms. The alarm becomes a part of your wider smart security network, joining the likes of the recently released eufy Glass Break Sensor E10 and Motion Sensor E20. Users can manage the device remotely via the eufy app, receiving instant push notifications if the alarm is triggered while they are away from home. Thanks to a robust connection range of up to 200 meters from the HomeBase, even larger homes can maintain a reliable link.
Pricing and Availability
As of this week, the eufy Smoke Alarm E10 is appearing on Amazon in key EU markets, including Germany and the Netherlands. It is currently retailing for €79.99. According to German tech blog Smarthome Assistent, this launch marks a significant expansion of Anker’s home safety portfolio in the region.
While the device is currently available in specific countries, eufy has yet to confirm a timeline for a wider rollout across the rest of Europe. For now, tech enthusiasts and safety-conscious homeowners in the initial launch zones can finally upgrade their homes with a detector that is as smart as it is subtle.
