Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

These are a great, compact size, and they just as loud as the old behemoths. Appears well made and hope it is good quality for detecting smoke. Easy to install, attractive for a smoke detector.

This detector comes with a 10 yr lithium battery. You don't have to drill any holes, you barely see them on the wall. The internal battery that is supposed to last for 10 years is still up for debate though.



Cons

All 3 units were found dead and would not beep to test. Also, in the description it says that the battery is replaceable. I recommend buying a replaceable battery option to ensure your smoke alarms are always ready.

The way they designed this product is asinine. Lesson here is to educate yourself, these are not quality smoke detectors.

There is no way to test if they are actually connected. Both of these issues raises serious concerns about its reliability and also makes me question whether it could be trusted during emergencies. The sensing smoke mechanism is garbage and shouldn't ...  Read More

Quality


It has worked every time i have tested it and the manufacture of this product xsense produces and sells many fine electronic devices


These smoke detectors meet my objective for safety and the convenience of not having to change batteries every year


It notifies the app after 3 failed connections so 45 minutes minimum


This app and base unit totally do not work

Price


The price is worth it to save your family


This fire alarm was a great value for top performance


I’d been looking for smart fire alarms but they were minimum 60 so when i found this gadget i was over the moon


Bottom line i got what i paid for

Shipping


Update well it took 3 days to hear from customer service but they explained what was not explained in the manual

Packaging/appearance


Surprised when i opened the box but it has all the noise power of the traditional size alarms

    When you interconnect smoke alarms directly they drop off the base unit presumably because the 915 mhz rf signal is not available to the base unit


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    When you choose to connect to base unit and not direct to other alarms the base unit does sound all alarms and tells you which one triggered


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The other question was why the base unit doesn’t notify of battery loss when i pulled the 3 volt batt from the alarm


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The base unit “checks in” only every 15 minutes to check that all devices are online and powered

    It notifies the app after 3 failed connections so 45 minutes minimum

    It works as described but the manual provides none of this info
