Size: 1-Pack Smoke DetectorStyle: Direct 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi ConnectionVerified Purchase

Such a cool little thing, I'm so glad I bought it. I have other "normal" smoke detectors in my residence but I don't have a smart one and having two dogs, this really gave me the peace of mind I was after.
First off, it's really small!! A lot smaller than I thought or was expecting but the fact that it's "smart" with lots of handy features at that size is amazing.
You just download the app, easily set up an account, then it will search for and add the detector seamlessly. After mounting it to the wall, which honestly is a piece of cake, you can give it a test from the app and check its status. The app will let you test the alarm, check the battery life, check the signal strength between it and your router, etc.
You can add a friend or neighbour to your account so if the alarm does go off and isn't silenced in a certain amount of time it will send a notification to that person. Obviously it will alert you if the alarm goes off as well. There are paid services you can add to this such as automatic fire truck dispatch and such but I find the free, included features more than adequate.
I just wanted to be notified of smoke/fire when I wasn't home so I'd be able to quickly alert a neighbour who could hopefully assist in saving my dogs if it ever came to that. I hate leaving them alone for extended periods of time because the thought of a fire or something fire related happening and me not being notified and/or getting back soon enough is always in the back of my mind.
This little thing has truly given me the confidence to go about my day without the slightest worry of not being notified in case of smoke or a fire.
Definitely recommend.
Oh and this thing is LOUD!!

Great Peace of Mind

Size: 1-Pack Smoke DetectorStyle: Direct 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi ConnectionVerified Purchase

I bought three of these smoke detectors almost a year ago and am very satisfied. They're easy to install (just two screws), the battery life is great (I haven't had to charge them yet) and the ability to view status and history from the app brings great peace of mind when away on trips. They're smaller than I expected but the small profile ended up being part of the appeal. I definitely would recommend.

Connects Through Your Network to Cellphone App to Alert You...

I've lived in my house for some fifteen years. The house is a forty year old house and who knows how old the original detector is (it's hard wire but looks old). Bought two X-Sense smart smoke detectors to further digitally enhance my house as I'm away from the house for work, errands and family. In hindsight I should've done this years ago, as we'll spring for cameras, doorbells and security systems that alert some app on our phone but we don't think about a smart smoke detector???

I'm very pleased with these detectors. They came ready to go and are easily mounted, although I do think the mounting screws could be longer to get through the plaster on your ceiling or wall and find some real purchase to screw into. The app is straight forward and it was very easy to get them on my network and set up.

I like they'll report low battery (they'll also chirp) and report a malfunction through the app as we all know n many of us never look at these things until something happens and our detector failed to go off.

In testing some paper I set on fire, with a bucket and some water to throw it into, it alerted well enough and started a racket on my phone to get my attention. Being able to silence it from my phone is nice as the one in my kitchen I can't reach without a chair or ladder should cooking set it off.

Would appreciate being able to see some kind of status in the app. App tells me each is online but doesn't show me a status. Can only assume they're self checking and if one malfunctions it'll report through the app. Would also like to initiate a regular test through the app (which I may have missed how to do) as I'll have to pull out and stand in a chair each month for the one in the kitchen.

But all in all they're really good little devices and at some forty dollars each there's really no excuse to not have a few scattered around your house rather than just relying on the one your house came with that got stuck somewhere. Double that no excuse when you consider they'll alert to an app on your phone, so if everyone is away you won't have to depend upon your neighbors happening to notice smoke finding its way out of your house by which time you've got a pretty good fire going. You'll know right away and be able to call for help and perhaps because of the quicker response you'll be dealing with a small fire pit out before too much if any damage vs a raging inferno.

I've purchased two and will probably purchase two more, for garage and attic. Oh and I placed one X-Sense detector next to the original detector that came with the house, I suspect it's some forty years old. In testing after set up both the X-Sense and the original house detector went off. Still after forty years the thing works, but it isn't smart and it's better to be safer than sorry.

Installation hyper facile et efficacité

Reviewed in France on May 26, 2023

Le plus important : l'efficacité. En dehors du test lors de la mise en place, j'ai pu tester en situation réelle lorsque mon mari a cuisiné des steacks sans allumer la hotte aspirante 😆 L'alarme s'est déclenchée et je peux vous dire que si un incendie se déclare en pleine nuit, vous serez réveillé c'est sur ! Donc, efficacité 👍
Ensuite, simplicité d'installation. Un jeu d'enfant. L'interconnexion est rapide, et pour une installation encore plus simple, je conseille les adhésifs magnétiques spécialement adaptés, et en 5 minutes c'est fait.
Pour finir, ces détecteurs sont petits et discrets, pas de luminosité gênante. Ils peuvent être installés dans une chambre sans problème, car ils ne produisent aucune lumière,
sauf en cas de déclenchement de l'alarme. C'est d'ailleurs le seul bémol, car il n'y a donc pas de témoin de fonctionnement. Cela dit, vous pouvez facilement effectuer un test de temps en temps à l'aide du bouton prévu à cet effet... ou en faisant cuire des steacks sans hotte aspirante 😁 Plus sérieusement, je recommande tout à fait ces détecteurs, excellent rapport qualité prix et, pour les grandes maisons avec dépendances, vous pouvez interconnecter jusqu'à 24 appareils.

Achetés en six exemplaires pour ma ferme.
Interconnexion très facile.
Doc en français bien traduite.
Grande portée HF : traverse 3 murs en pierre de 80cm d'épaisseur... la WIFI n'en passe pas un seul !

Précision :
Je voulais que lorsque l'un se déclenche (n'importe lequel), TOUS LES AUTRES sonnent aussi.
Pour ce faire, il faut les appairer tous entre eux. C'est un peu long.
D'abord le 1 avec le 2, puis le 3, puis le 4, etc. jusqu'au dernier.
Ensuite le 2 avec le 1, puis le 3, le 4 etc.
Ensuite le 3 avec le 1, puis le 2 , puis le 4, le 5 etc.
Jusqu'au dernier, avec le 1, le 2, le 3, etc.

C'est un peu fastidieux, mais à refaire dans 10 ans, ça va !

Je recommande ce produit.

Je le recommande

Reviewed in France on June 4, 2021

Bonjour. J’ai aimé le design les détecteurs sont tout petits et le fait qu’on change les piles le plus tard possible est un avantage certain. Ca m’a l’air bien solide. Un avantage, le prix. Trois pour un c’est génial pour une grande maison. Je pense même en prendre un autre lot pour tout dire . Quoi dire d’autre. J’ai reçu le colis à temps de plus j’en avais vraiment besoin vue que ceux que j’ai acheté auparavant n’étaient pas top du tout. On verra bien ce que ca donnera dans le temps mais pour le moment, j’en suis satisfaite. Pour l’installer c’est assez facile
Pour le moment, je recommande

Jusqu'ici tout va bien

Reviewed in France on December 19, 2020

Je ne mets que 4 étoiles au rapport qualité/prix car ces détecteurs ne sont pas les moins chers, loin de là. Néanmoins, ils arrivent (très rapidement) déjà appairés, sont faciles à installer, et il semble également facile d'augmenter le nombre de détecteurs dans le réseau.
Pourquoi les mettre en réseau ? Le compteur électrique (source potentielle d'incendie) est dans les combles, et avec l'isolation, un détecteur serait quasi inaudible dans le reste de la maison.
Il faudrait faire des tests (ou demander confirmation au constructeur) pour savoir si les détecteurs se déclenchent en chaine les uns les autres (si A déclenche B, est-ce que B déclenche C qui pourrait alors être hors de portée de A), pour une installation dans des dépendances. Portée maxi annoncée en zone libre de 250m tout de même.
Je les ai collés au double-face et non vissés. Ils sont plus petits (et un peu plus hauts) que la moyenne, et donc un peu plus légers, mais donnent une impression de qualité. La grille métallique est sympa, et le look est important quand il faut imposer à sa femme un tel appareil au milieu du plafond !
Reste à ne pas avoir à évaluer leur bon fonctionnement suite à un incendie...
