Product description
Test/Silence via the Remote Control
The X-Sense RC01 Pro remote controller (sold separately) is compatible with all X-Sense Link+ wireless alarms. Once they are connected, simply push the button on the remote to test or silence all interlinked alarms, with no need to stretch to reach the silence button on the device.
Customizable Wireless Network
All the X-Sense Link+ alarms in a multi-pack are pre-connected. You can add a new device to the existing network, disconnect the devices to create new groups, or connect two separate devices. To connect the alarms, quickly press the test/silence button on either unit 4 times and then press the test/silence button on the other unit twice.
Quickly Locate the Source Alarm
When one device is triggered, all other wireless interconnected smoke detectors in the interlinked system will also go off. To identify the source alarm, simply press the test/silence button on one of the alarms. If all the alarms go silent, the alarm you pressed is the source alarm, but if one alarm is still going off then that alarm is the source alarm.
10-Year Battery Life
This smoke detector features an enclosed lithium battery that lasts for 10 years, protecting you and your family against fires day and night for a decade without battery replacement. Simply replace the entire smoke alarm at the end of its 10-year life.
Accurate Smoke Detection
A photoelectric sensor makes this smoke detector with 10-year battery more sensitive to large smoke particles from smoldering fires and less sensitive to water vapor/steam in the kitchen. This ensures accurate detection of smoke from slow-burning fires, while giving the possible earliest warning.
Insect-Proof Design
This battery-operated smoke detector is carefully designed with an insect-proof screen to prevent insects and dust from entering the device and triggering a false alarm. This ensures the detector works reliably and detects smoke accurately.

X-Sense 6 pack
The smoke alarms seem to be ok.The 6 pack comes already linked, so all 6 are already interconnected.Very easy to install.The mounting plate has a screw hole pattern that is not like standard smoke alarms. It would be an improvement if there were mounting holes that align with standard US electrical boxes, so replacing hard wired smoke alarms would be more easily accomplished.It takes about 6-7 seconds for the rest of the smoke alarms to sound when one activates.They do NOT sound a temporal 3 sound pattern, just single beeps, and when the additional smoke alarms sound, the beeps are not timed the same as the original alarm, so multiple different sound tones are heard.They are definitely loud enough to wake most people up in case of an alarm.I also purchased the remote control, to remotely silence the alarms.The remote implies that it is for remote testing and silencing.The remote test is not a remote test for the alarms, but more a remote test to make sure the remote control is linked to the smoke alarms.“ testing “ simply blinks the blue light on the handheld remote when initiated from a smoke alarm to verify the remote is interconnected to the smoke alarm “ network “You can add additional smoke alarms to the network if your application requires more than 6.The instructions are decent, but are in a very tiny format, and difficult to read.The supplied screws have small heads, and should be installed using a number 1 Phillips screwdriver.Decent product. Cannot speak for longevity of battery life or immunity to false alarms, as I have just installed these at my father’s house.

Reliable Smoke Alarm with Long Battery Life
The X-Sense Smoke Alarm is exactly what I was looking for. The 10-year lithium battery gives me peace of mind without worrying about constant replacements. It was easy to install, the LED indicator is a nice touch, and it feels very reliable. A great safety addition to any home – highly recommend!

Suboptimal install options
This is a preliminary review, as I just got this set of six smoke alarms and have now finished installing one of them, but I’m not impressed with the installation options. If I don’t add to this later, it will mean that I’m otherwise satisfied with the units, which is why I am on faith for now giving a provisional 4-star rating, despite a 2-star install experience.The bracket for the model I’m removing has cut-outs to accommodate different existing screw patterns, recognizing that more often than not a smoke detector is replacing a previous installation, inevitably with at least a somewhat different mounting bracket. The X-Sense mounting bracket demands that the two screws go exactly in hole placements in their bracket. Strike one.I have mollys installed in my ceiling for previous smoke detectors. I can’t use them, or at least I can’t use the thin bolts of the mollys because the X-Sense mounting bracket requires a counter-sink type screw that fits closely with their included screw head size (not a problem with multiple previous types of smoke detector bracket).Any significant variation on that such that the screw head sticks up even a little and the X-Sense detector won’t connect to the mount. Strike two.The included screws are short, with lame plastic molly wanna-be units. When I buy items that include such, I always toss them in favor of something better, but … see above. Strike three in terms of installation. Basically X-Sense has decided that regardless of what you might already have in your ceiling or wall to support a smoke detector, you (a) must start over with new holes, and (b) you must drill bigger holes through your wallboard to use their screws. If each and every different smoke detector company were to do that, over a period of years the wallboard behind my smoke detectors would look like a woodpecker had been at work there. Just overall poor design with poor regard for real world cases.I don’t yet know how well these detectors will work out longer term, and of course I have no way to know how long the batteries will actually last. I don’t even know how the rest of my install will go; I have 5 more of these to put up and might need a trip to a hardware store to see if I can get machine screws that will go in my existing molly bolt locations with heads that will fit the tight tolerances of the brackets for these units. Or I give up and drill a bunch of new holes.In summary so far, I can only say that I’m not too pleased starting out.=================================================================Two days later and I’ve installed all but one of the six of these now, as well as two CO monitors and their add-on remote device. Things went much better than I expected; I wrote the original review after I had just installed one of the smoke detectors, that a ceiling mount. The ones I have since mounted on a wall above a door (in 3 rooms) and on a basement hall ceiling, and in all of those cases I found solid wood behind the wallboard, and even the fairly short screws they included seemed to connect with the underlying wood well enough that I didn’t need to use any sort of molly bolt (their lame plastic ones, or real ones).And every detector “just worked” insofar as I could tell, and it was easy to interlink the CO monitors and the remote into one connected system. I will finish install and do some testing before I’m sure, but I’m now guardedly optimistic about this overall system now, and hopeful that the batteries will last at least some decent percentage of the promised 10 years. For the CO monitors, I can always replace the CR2032 coin batteries.I wish the default mounting option for the remote wasn’t double-sided foam ‘tape’. I might follow someone else’s suggestion and use stick-on velcro, or I guess drill holes in the back to screw the remote back plate to a wooden surface, though again I find a certain lack of follow-through on the part of the manufacturer here — why include screws without referencing how to use them in the installation instructions? Probably better to go with the velcro in case the case would prove too difficult to open with the back plate permanently installed somehow (?).Anyway, I’m a happier camper now, assuming some basic testing turns up no issues and the smoke detector built-in batteries last reasonably well. Oh, and of course, that they actually function well as smoke detectors! I suppose I should do something to generate some smoke to test the true basic function given that this is a brand I had never heard of before.

Easy to in stall
Easy to install. For the Alarm installed near the kitchen I like that you can silence the alarm and a red light flashing to remind you to reset.

Nightmare to install !
Frustrating and exhausting to install .Bought 3 units together and all have the same design problems .I mounted as directed in provided instructions , and got no response from test button .Almost returned right then and really should have !There is a little button on the alarm back that must be depressed and held down to work .The mount bracket has a matching elevated area that should push and hold the button down , when the alarm is mounted . But I never could get this to work until I taped over the button , with multiple layers .Took me much extra wasted time and effort , and still my confidence in these alarms is very low .
