X-Sense Smart Heat Alarm XH02-M with 10-Year Sealed Battery, SBS50 Base Station Required, Model XH02-M, 1-Pack

I installed several of these heat sensors in my barn since smoke detectors just aren’t reliable in such a dusty environment. Setup was incredibly simple—everything connected seamlessly right out of the box.The first time it auto-tested, the alarm surprised me with how loud it was (definitely what you want in an emergency). While I probably won’t hear the alarm from the house, I like that I’ll still get critical alerts on my phone if something happens when I’m awake.It’s a great option for places where traditional smoke detectors won’t work, and I appreciate that there’s even an option to connect to the local fire department for a fee, which I’ll be looking into. Overall, very impressed—easy to install, works as promised, and gives me peace of mind.

Inadvertently tested against false alarm thanks to a middle of the night teenager cooking and forgetting to disengage the old battery operated model. The old one was set off by the oven use but the newly installed heat alarm didn’t alert (to be clear there was not a fire nor excessive heat or smoke build up at the time.)Appreciate that the heat alarm, along with the other smoke/co combination detectors and base, will function as a whole-home system; that along with the app’s ability to monitor functionality, go a long way for peace of mind!Initially setting up app and setting up/connecting individual units to the app took longer than actual installation; however, overall pretty easy setup!

Works well with the X-Sense system. Note that this is the model which requires the X-sense hub and it does not support Wifi. I personally think this is a far better solution than the Wifi models. These alarms form their own network and communicate with each other regardless of whether your wifi is functional. Then if an alarm goes off, one alarm will set off all the alarms. I have some back rooms in my basement where we could not possibly hear an alarm if we were sleeping on the second floor, so this one feature is really the very most important feature in my view--it's the whole reason I went with these type of X-sense alarms.Their Hub is nearly free if you buy a 3 pack of the smoke and CO alarms. I have manyu if those as well, and I added 3 of these heat alarms for kitchen, garage, and furnace room (where heat rather than smoke alarms are recommended). At this point I have 14 X-Sense alarms and I am really happy and feel certain we would know right away if there was a fire or carbon monoxide problem. They do also have a similar model which does not use a hub. The only pupose of the hub it to provide access via an app, the hub is not required for alarm function. So you can get the hub kind or the non-hub kind, and note they are different models. If you don't want to mess with an app or hub, get the other kind. I like how the hub lets me set off tests and see battery and RF signal levels. The hub is more about monitoring device health and is not required to be online for alarm function to work.Again, just personal advice, but don't get the wifi ones. Get the ones that form their own network independently from Wifi. The independent network models require nothing except the battery powered alarms themselves for one to set off all. Meaning even if you have no power, no internet, no wifi, they will work exactly as intended. I work as a computer network engineer and know what I am talking about--Wifi is bad for this application.

Ties in with their system easily. Great for kitchens where there is smoke and steam. Temperature alarm threshold would be too low for attics. Threshold is perfect for the kitchens and living space with wood stoves. It they need a 190degree alert if they want it viable for attics.Easy to set up. It is a throw away. No replaceable battery. So once battery dies it’s junk. Reasonably priced.
