Easy access to determine which device is in alarm
I was looking for a replacement for some First Alert devices that could provide a better indication of battery status. My old devices would go out and there was no easy way to determine which device was in alarm. Being awakened in the middle of the night by a low battery is no fun, especially when you have high ceilings and all your devices require ladder access. The app is straightforward. It provides a visual stats of each detector. I tested each device during installation and the alarm sound was very loud. In comparison to the Nest devices, they seem like a good value for money. Only time will tell about the enduring quality but so far so good!Note that these are battery only devices. The baseplate for the device was large enough to easily cover the opening left from my previous hardwired/battery devices so installation was easy.In addition to being able to monitor the devices with the app, there is also a color indicating light that flashes on these units to tell you their status. I should make chasing down batteries much easier.

Top-Tier Home Safety with Smart Features—but Pricey
Installed this 5-pack of X‑Sense smoke and carbon monoxide detectors with the base station in our home, and the setup couldn’t have been smoother. Each unit paired quickly, the app is intuitive, and when one alarm goes off, they all sound together—plus you get a clear smartphone alert. Knowing exactly which unit triggered the alarm (via room naming in the app) is a game-changer. The detectors are battery-powered (lasting up to 10 years) and include photoelectric sensing that reacts fast to both smoke and CO . I appreciate that you can test and silence alarms remotely—no more climbing ladders just to hush a false alarm.Why it’s not a full 5 stars: It’s a bit pricey, and there’s occasional nagging in the app about subscribing to their Protect+ monitoring service. But in terms of reliable detection, smart integration, and peace of mind—it’s definitely worth it.

Work fantastic and I love how the app works
This is a great kit and I installed a total of 8 of these for all around coverage of my home. They are easy to pair and install and I really like how the hub can talk to you when your pairing these to let you know everything is setup.The hub can be installed anywhere in your home and it’s super simple to get connected to your network with the mobile application.The mobile application is also leaps and bound better than the cheap Smart Life wifi detectors I had previously got several reasons.First you can test each alarm remotely with the app so no need to stretch to reach the test button or grab a step stool.Second when one is triggered the notification to your phone is instant and it tells you the exact one that was triggered so no guessing. The hub also communicates that information as well.Third the app shows you in real time what the detectors are detecting smoke and CO wise so if you ever smell something you can just open the app and put your mind at ease that something isn’t burning.The one fires all fires works great as well during my testing when one fires the others all fired within two seconds which is perfect. I also like how I can silence the alarms via the app instead of trying to reach for a hush button on the alarm itself.As you can tell the app really sets these apart from the competition.Now and most importantly here is how they perform, to test the sensors I took a burning candle, blew it out then let the smoke hit the detector and it fired within seconds of that which is awesome. Next step wa shaving my wife use a pan and burn some butter, this would normally set of nuesent alarms with my old ones but these could tell the difference and did not fire.Final test was CO which to me is the most important part since you can’t smell or detect it. To test these I took a propane torch and held a metal bucket over the flame to capture the exhaust wearing a pair of gloves. I then put my dedicated first alert CO detector in the buck while it was upside down to make sure their was CO which there was. I then got the buck right under the detector and then flipped it over so the fumes in the bucket would rise to the detector and within a few seconds it fired as CO alarm with the levels it was showing being nearly the same as my first alert one. I also really like how the app told me it was CO vs. smoke.So bottom line this works fantastic, the app is awesome and they are affordable.

Base Station Keeps Dropping Offline
I was hopeful reading these reviews and ordered the Base Station with several detectors for my home. Installed the app, followed the directions, and went through the process of connecting to my base station. Each and every time I tried the app would connect to the base station via bluetooth OK, it would connect to the Wi-Fi network OK, then it would hang while trying to connect to their cloud servers and finally fail with the screenshot error. I called support and went through everything they could suggest. I can show the IP and MAC address of the base on my network, connected at 2.4Ghz. I can prove that my firewall is not blocking anything going out. I am a retired IT consultant so I know how to use network tools to monitor a device and it looks to be working fine on my end, but their cloud servers don’t seem to be responding. I figured out a way to filter the MAC address and bind it to the 2.4Ghz band of my router and it finally worked, but it sometimes drops offline at random and comes back after a while. It sits right next to the wifi router so signal is strong. It just does not work well with the new multiband routers. I disabled 802.11ax on my router and it helped, but I deduct one star for not being able to work with the latest wifi technology.

That these detectors are 2nd to none
I was in the bathroom when these detectors went off. These X-Sense smoke and carbon monoxide detector are absolutely fantastic! It provides reliable and accurate detection, giving me peace of mind at home. The installation was super easy, and the sleek design fits perfectly with my home decor. The loud alarm is effective, and the battery life lasts a long time, so I don’t have to worry about frequent replacements. Overall, it’s a top-quality safety device that I highly recommend to everyone.

Easy to install and seem like quality devices.
Install pretty easily (I wish the base had holes drilled for an outlet box), add to the app/base easily, and seem well made. Can’t say how well they detect smoke and I hope I never find out.
