What is SecureX LinkBridge?
SecureX LinkBridge is a wireless converter that allows you to connect up to 16 wired sensors to the SecureX system. You get a hybrid solution where you reuse existing wiring but still get app control and central alarm management via the SecureX hub.
What is meant by hybrid solution?
That you can combine wired sensors (cable) with SecureX wireless systems, so you don't have to replace everything when upgrading an older alarm system.
How many wired zones does LinkBridge support?
It supports up to 16 wired zones.
Can I choose NC or NO on the zones?
Yes, each zone can be configured as C/NC or C/NO depending on the type of sensor you connect.
Does LinkBridge have status indication for zones?
Yes, each zone has its own LED status indicator on the board, making it easier to see status and troubleshoot.
Do I need a SecureX hub to use LinkBridge?
Yes. LinkBridge is not a standalone device but is always used in conjunction with the SecureX hub for alarms, logic, notifications and app control. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
What app is used?
All management is done via the Stonehouse Smart app through the SecureX hub. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Does LinkBridge work with Tuya and Smart Life?
Compatibility with Tuya and Smart Life is via the SecureX hub, not directly in LinkBridge. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
What wireless communication does LinkBridge use with the hub?
LinkBridge communicates with the SecureX hub via SecureX Long Range at 868 MHz (LoRa). :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Is LinkBridge a repeater that amplifies 433 MHz?
No, LinkBridge is not a repeater and it does not amplify 433 MHz signals. It is a hybrid bridge for wired zones. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
How far does LinkBridge go?
The range of 868 MHz Long Range (LoRa) to the hub is up to approximately 500 meters in open space. System support for 433 MHz is stated as up to approximately 150 meters in open space. In real-world environments, the range may be affected by walls, metal, and other obstacles. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Can I connect a wired siren?
Yes, LinkBridge can power a wired siren up to 15V/3A.
Can zones be enabled or disabled in the app?
Yes, you can view status and enable or disable zones in the Stonehouse Smart app under wired sensors. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
How is LinkBridge operated?
It is powered by DC 15V / 5A via a 220/230V mains adapter. The mains adapter is mounted in the metal housing.
Can I use a backup battery in case of a power outage?
Yes, it supports external backup battery 12V 7Ah (optional, not included).
How do I pair LinkBridge with the SecureX hub?
Put the hub into pairing mode in the app (Sensor, +, General, Pairing). Within 20 seconds, briefly press the S1 button on the LinkBridge. The zones will then be automatically registered and displayed under the wired menu. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
Does the initial pairing have to be done near the hub?
Yes, the first pairing should always be done near the hub. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
What do I do if no zone responds?
Check the power supply and that the zones are connected correctly and that the NC/NO position matches the sensor.
What do I do if the range feels short?
Place the device closer to the hub and avoid obstacles or metal between the devices. If necessary, you can supplement with SecureX SignalMax. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
What are the dimensions of LinkBridge?
The dimensions are 165 × 100 × 18 mm.
What is included in the delivery?
SecureX LinkBridge in metal enclosure (1 pc), power adapter 220 VAC to DC 15V (mounted in the enclosure) (1 pc), external antenna (mounted on the cabinet) (1 pc) and manual (1 pc). :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}

WiFi or Zigbee? Which technology is best for your smart home?
❓ What is the difference between WiFi and Zigbee?
Answer: WiFi devices connect directly to your wireless network and do not require an additional gateway. Zigbee instead uses its own Mesh network and requires a Zigbee Gateway to communicate with the Stonehouse Smart app. WiFi is great for cameras and relays, while Zigbee is ideal for sensors and larger smart homes.
❓ Do I need a Zigbee Gateway?
Answer: Yes. To use Zigbee products, you need a Stonehouse Smart Zigbee Gateway. The gateway connects to your router and acts as the hub that allows all Zigbee devices to communicate with each other and with the Stonehouse Smart app.
❓ Do WiFi products need a gateway?
Answer: No. WiFi products connect directly to your existing WiFi network and do not require a separate gateway or hub.
❓ Can I use WiFi and Zigbee at the same time?
Answer: Yes. Stonehouse Smart is designed to support both WiFi and Zigbee products in the same app. Many people choose to combine the technologies to create a flexible and future-proof smart home.
❓ Why does Zigbee have such a long battery life?
Answer: Zigbee sensors are in sleep mode most of the time and only activate when they need to send information, such as movement, temperature changes or when a door is opened. This provides very low power consumption and long battery life.
❓ How does Zigbee Mesh work?
Answer: Many Zigbee devices powered by 230V act as repeaters and send the signal to the next device. In this way, a Mesh network is built that provides better coverage and higher stability the more fixed Zigbee devices are installed.
❓ Which Zigbee devices work as repeaters?
Answer: Most Zigbee devices that are powered by 230V, such as relay modules, dimmers, smart plugs and wall switches, normally work as repeaters. Battery-powered sensors usually do not work as repeaters.
❓ How long is the range of Zigbee?
Answer: The range is affected by walls, building materials and other obstacles. Typically, the range is about 10 to 25 meters indoors between two Zigbee devices. Thanks to Mesh technology, the total coverage can be significantly greater when more devices are installed.
❓ Is WiFi or Zigbee best?
Answer: It depends on the application. WiFi is an excellent choice for cameras, relays, energy metering and products that need direct internet connection. Zigbee is best suited for sensors, automation and larger installations where long battery life and stable communication are important.
❓ What is Stonehouse Smart?
Answer: Stonehouse Smart is a growing ecosystem for smart homes where WiFi and Zigbee products work together in the same app. The range is continuously developing and includes smart lighting, electrical control, cameras, security, climate, irrigation and other smart solutions for homes and businesses.
