X-Sense Link+ Pro Smart Smoke Alarm reviewed
Good points?
The compact and lightweight design makes installation easy, even for those less handy. It comes with all necessary mounting tools and doesn't require complex setup.
One standout feature is the alarm's ability to verbally notify users of both the smoke detection and its specific location. This makes exiting a home safer as you can potentially avoid a fire area.
By linking with the SBS50 base station, you can connect multiple alarms throughout your home. If one goes off, they all do. This synchronized warning system ensures faster response times for everyone in the household, no matter where they are.
The companion app notifies you immediately when smoke is detected, even if you're not home. It also lets you run remote tests, check battery levels and hush false alarms from your phone.
