Smoke Alarms are always a great addition to any home, as they’re critical for the early detection of any potential fire in your home, and most importantly, they could ultimately mean the difference between life and death. Still, standard smoke alarms have one major flaw, as they’re solely based on their sound alarm, which means that they require someone to be close enough for their sound alarm to be heard. However, while standard smoke alarms depend on either the home owners themselves or their neighbors being close enough to listen to their sound alarm, a Smart Wi-Fi Smoke Alarm actually has the capability of alerting the home owner(s) whenever smoke or fire is detected, no matter where they are. Since Smart Wi-Fi Smoke Alarms are connected to your home internet, they can immediately send In-App notifications to your Smartphone, and they can also send low-battery warnings before their battery runs out. So, if you’re looking to upgrade your Smart Home and give it an extra level of security against any potential fire, then consider going with the X-Sense XS01-WT Wi-Fi Smoke Detector.
The X-Sense XS01-WT is a Smart Wi-Fi Smoke and Fire Alarm that features a built-in Advanced Photoelectric Sensor that makes it capable of quickly detecting dangerous smoke in the air, as well as a Test/Silence Button and an Auto Self-Check Function, all while also offering you up to 1 year of battery life.
Featuring a fairly easy installation and the possibility of receiving real-time In-App notifications on your Smartphone (via the Tuya Smart App) whenever an alarm is triggered or if something is wrong with the unit’s battery, smoke sensor, or Wi-Fi connection, this Smart Wi-Fi Smoke and Fire Alarm allows you to always know what’s going on in and around your home, thus making it possible for you to quickly take action whenever necessary, and that even goes for times when you’re away from home.
Best of all, if any potential false alarms occur (either due to kitchen fumes, smoking, etc.), via the Tuya Smart App, you can also use its Silence False Alarms function by simply tapping the Silence Button to silence the device’s sound alarm right before those false alarms start to become annoying. Thanks to that, you’ll never again have to deal with using ladders, broom handles, or even climbing on counters just to turn of the alarm on your Smoke Detector due to a false alarm.
So, without any further ado, let’s have a look at the X-Sense XS01-WT Wi-Fi Smoke Detector and check out everything that this Smart Wi-Fi Smoke and Fire Alarm has to offer you.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the device’s size, this Smart Wi-Fi Smoke and Fire Alarm comes at a fairly compact size, measuring just 3.0 inches in diameter by just 1.9 inches tall / thick. In addition, this Smart Smoke and Fire Alarm is also extremely lightweight, weighing just a measly 0.20 lbs. (92 g).
Moreover, the X-Sense XS01-WT Wi-Fi Smoke Detector also features a very minimalist design, as it comes featuring an adequately discrete white body. Not only that, but this device also features a solid and fairly durable construction, as it is built with high-quality and ultra-durable ABS Plastic materials.
Thanks to its compact size and its ultra-minimalist design, this Smart Wi-Fi Smoke and Fire Alarm is guaranteed to always have a very discrete profile after its installation, and ultimately, it can blend-in very easily within your kitchen area, or with whatever other room you want it installed on.
As said earlier, this Smart Wi-Fi Smoke and Fire Alarm comes equipped with a built-in Advanced Photoelectric Sensor that makes the unit capable of quickly detecting any dangerous smoke in the air.
On top of that, the X-Sense XS01-WT Wi-Fi Smoke Detector also has a fairly rapid and accurate detection against any potential smoke or fire, as the device regularly performs 3 separate smoke concentration analyses (which occur every 10 seconds) to eliminate interference from wind, dust, and any non-hazardous smoke.
Integrated around the device’s circular body, we also have an Insect-Proof Screen that comes integrated just under the unit’s outer shell which effectively prevents insects from damaging the alarm, thus ensuring long-term accuracy, sensitivity, and reliability for this Smart Wi-Fi Smoke and Fire Alarm.
At one side of the device’s outer shell, we also have a built-in Red LED Warning Light that doubles as a Silence-Alarm Button.
Lastly, at the bottom-side of this Smart Wireless Smoke and Fire Alarm, we also have the unit’s integrated Loud Buzzer, which comes installed just under its Sound Alarm opening and is capable of emitting a reasonably loud 85 dB Alarm Tone that can be very easily heard within 10 ft.
That not only ensures that the unit’s 85 dB Sound Alarm is loud enough to alert all family members living in your household, but also helps to ensure that you can be woken up during any potential emergency. I’d also like to note that the unit’s Advanced Photoelectric Sensor significantly increases its Sound Alarm’s sensitivity for a faster response time, while also helping to minimize the occurrence of false alarms.
SET UP / INSTALLATION
For the device’s installation, setting up this Smart Wi-Fi Smoke and Fire Alarm is a fairly easy task.
So, you can have the X-Sense XS01-WT installed onto the ceiling either by using its Mounting Bracket and Screw Fixings (which already come supplied in the package), or alternatively, if you do not want to drill holes in your ceiling, you could instead just use some Adhesive Tape.
Then, all that there’s left for you to do is to connect the device to its Smartphone Companion App (Tuya Smart App – discussed just ahead), which is how you’ll configure its Wi-Fi Connection, and the X-Sense XS01-WT will then be ready to protect your home from any potential fire.
CONNECTIVITY
For the X-Sense XS01-WT’s connectivity, since this is a Smart Wi-Fi Smoke and Fire Alarm, this device obviously features Wireless Connectivity via a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Connection (be aware that this model is incompatible with 5 GHz Wi-Fi Networks, so keep that in mind), supporting just about all of the most common Wireless Standards (IEEE 802.11b/g/n).
BATTERY & BATTERY LIFE
Now, note that this Smart Wireless Smoke and Fire Alarm is powered by a Replaceable 3 V CR123A Lithium Battery, which, as said earlier, can offer you about 1 year of battery life.
Still, whenever the device detects that its battery is running low on power, you’ll receive both a Smartphone Notification via the Tuya Smart App (which will be discussing right ahead), as well as a short sound alarm that let’s you know that something was detected, which, for this case, would obviously be about the unit’s internal battery.
I’d also like to mention that the unit’s internal battery is very easy to replace.
THE SMARTPHONE COMPANION APP – The Tuya Smart App
Now, by getting the Tuya Smart App (which is free to download for both iOS and Android devices), users can always receive real-time In-App Notifications on their Smartphone which helps them to stay up to date with everything going on around their home.
That said, via the Tuya Smart App, users can receive real-time In-App Notifications on their Smartphone whenever an alarm is triggered.
Furthermore, this Smart Wi-Fi Smoke and Fire Alarm also features an Auto Self-Check Function that enables the unit to continuously check its battery status and Wi-Fi Connection; so, if something wrong is detected with its battery, with its smoke sensor, or even with its Wi-Fi Connection, you’ll immediately receive a notification on your Smartphone.
As such, users are always able to know about what’s going on in and around their home, allowing them to quickly take action, even when they’re away from home.
Last but not least, and as mentioned before, if any potential false alarms occur (either due to kitchen fumes, smoking, etc.), the Tuya Smart App also features a Silence False Alarms function, which can be activated via an In-App Silence Button that can be simply tapped once to silence the device’s sound alarm right before those false alarms start to become annoying.
Thanks to that, you’ll never again have to deal with using ladders, broom handles, or even climbing on counters just to turn of the alarm on your Smoke Detector due to a false alarm.
