X-Sense Wi-Fi Smoke Alarms for Home with SBS50 Base Station, FS31 | Compatible with X-Sense Home Security APP, Wireless Interlinked

Installed the day they arrived. Straightforward to set up. I was a bit sceptical of the benefits of the WiFi enabled app connectivity but having installed and tested the app, I am sold on it! You have to plug in the base station that comes with alarms and connect this to your WiFi through the app. Very straightforward. Once the base station is installed you connect each of the smoke alarms. Again this was fast, and straightforward. The app allows you to test the alarms individually and even run a fire drill test for a specified time period. The main advantage though, which hopefully I will never experience, is that app will notify you of an alarm when you are away from home. The app is also meant to inform you when batteries need changing. You have the option to connect other devices from the supplier to the same base station, such as a CO monitor. Overall, extremely pleased with purchase. Units look good - very compact and unobtrusive; the system was very easy to set up and all the alarms are interlinked. I purchased this system after my original "interlinked" system from Amazon just would not link. If you are looking for interlinked smoke alarms, then this is great option and it does actually work as advertised so no risk to you!

Great product easy to use and set up. I’ve installed two of these now. The delivery on this occasion took a week which was long and left things tight for installing them on a fixed prearranged date but I still like the product, which is great if you have elderly or vulnerable relatives as you can monitor and test the setup remotely using the app and shared access to keep an eye on things. The fact the smoke alarms are all wirelessly interconnected is a huge improvement on the level of protection previously in place. Took in it half an hour to install the full pack of three smoke alarms and the base unit (hub). I would recommend this to anyone wanting battery interconnected smoke alarms. The extra units available mean this is scalable and can include carbon monoxide detection and heat alarms for kitchen areas too. Great piece of kit but not compliant for rental properties as they’re not mains connected sadly.

These are nice and small and I am very pleased with them especially as they were on a special offer when I was looking for smoke alarms. Wanted one to put into a garden room that would sound in the house as well as the garden room. These alarms do that, if one goes off they all sound and the base station too; also get a notification on the app of which alarm has gone off. Very easy to test as can do this from the app. I also did a smoke test using a candle blown out and let smoke into the alarm; set it off very loud! Follow the step by step instructions and they are easy to set up. Have one in the loft and one in garage; very useful system if you want to alarm remote areas of property. Also bought two water detectors and these were easy to add to the system. Only a few pounds each so good value. Have one by dishwasher and one by washing machine as these have the flexible hose and are the most vulnerable parts of water system. Gives peace of mind. They notify the phones if a problem and the base station sounds too. The manual does not tell you how to link two phones to system. You cannot both use the same account and password as it will automatically log out one phone. After a bit of searching found a post on the internet and set up two accounts that are linked so now both my and wife’s phone get the alerts. This is what I found on the net, “You can't both use the same login. Go into the app and select device sharing then send an invite to the email of the person you want to share with. They will need to create their own login. They will then have access to the smoke alarms. Hope this helps. By TechHead in the United Kingdom on 03 April 2024." On my system – go to the base station settings, then “Device Sharing”; click to put a tick against the items you want to share and enter email address of person you want to share with. They will get the email and it’s just a case of follow the instructions to set up their account which will link to the base station once they download the app and log in both phones will then get notifications.

These are just great, now have 6 al linked in the house and garage, easy fast set up

It's a good system but it keeps throwing errors unfortunately, Reasonable price, fit, size and installation, loud and somewhat functional, just one of the unit keep saying error and failing and I have tried replacing batteries etc day one of having it.

My partner is hard of hearing and the fact that one alarm goes off sets them all off was the selling point for me, meaning no matter what area of the house she is in she will be alerted, it also alerts your phone, I purchased the base unit with the 3 included fire alarms, a single fire alarm and a carbon monoxide alarm all to gether came to around £105. All were extremely easy to set up via the app. The base unit is small and discreet so easy to hide... This also sets an alarm when any of the devices detect anything so you are alerted where that is set up too. The range is impressive, I have the base unit in the sitting room, one alarm in the dining room, hall way, landing and loft, I have the carbon monoxide set up in the bedroom with no connection issues. All are easily tested via the app. The app also gives extra peace of mind as it will alert you when your away from home/on holiday.

Works perfectly. The power usb cable was only a metre in length. Replaced with longer one.

Where do I start. These devices are unreliable and don’t work properly. After installing the devices I tested them with actual smoke rather than relying on the test button on the side of the device. The room was full of smoke and the detector still didn’t sound so rather than fill up the other rooms with smoke I tried them all 1 by 1 in the same room and only 4 out of the 6 actually worked. They all worked using the test button so my advice is to never rely on the button to check the functionality of the detectors. I’ve tested the detectors on 3 occasions since installing them and have no confidence that they will actually detect any smoke before a fire is well established. I’ve also tested them alongside my original detectors. My original detectors sounded within a few seconds of the smoke entering the detector but the X sense detectors took at least 45 seconds to activate. The X sense detectors I received also have issues with defective batteries. The batteries are supposed to last around 5 years and some of the ones I received lasted between 1 and 3 days. Setting up the devices is straight forward and the remote alert features via the app is good, thats when the devices work. Once again thou, the devices regularly go off line for no apparent reason so remote notifications of any fire will not be sent to your phone. The detectors still sound in the event of a fire but you won’t know anything about it until you return home to a burnt out shell. I have a number of devices on my network, cameras, water alarms, smart plugs, etc, all from different manufacturers that work perfectly. I’ve had the occasional problem that I’ve managed to resolve but these X sense devices are the worst devices that I’ve ever purchased. I’ve wasted 3 weeks of my life trying to get the devices to work properly and still have issues. I have no confidence in the detectors and will be returning them. My advice is to spend some time reading the reviews and seller feedback before making a decision on purchasing these devices. To end on a positive note. If you purchase these devices and have issues then Amazon will gladly provide a full refund within 30 days of purchase.
