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.

I purchased this base unit along with a XH02-M heat alarm. It was a response to the building inspector’s (Sonoma County CA) requirement for a networked alarm with a heat sensor at the garage house battery in case of a fire due to over heating. My battery was an LFP type so a fire was an unlikely event.Installation and networking of the system was straightforward and easy to follow. The manuals were printed on very small booklets that were a bit difficult to read but adequate. Packaging was efficient. Amazon had speedy delivery.A test triggering of the heat sensor itself did not set off the base unit (heat unit’s alarm worked). However, after seeing another reviewers video, I got a successful test with a hair drier. Both units went off with ear piercing alarms and notifications on the X-Sense app. I need find out if the inspector will require additional alarms in other parts of the house.

I reviewed the main system earlier (see below). This add in heat detection is fur this rare moments something is burning without immediate smoke (like inside a wall or near a gas fireplace). You need to get a base to make this work. I recommend their other devices.Review for full protection: After reviewing a number of systems, I settled on X-Sense because these detectors are interconnected and WiFi based. The app is easy to use, the detectors are super easy to connect and installation was effortless. On top of it the functionality is prs rival and offers the right amount of options. I expanded the fire detection system to include the X-Sense security system. Because I can now get instant alerts on my phone wherever I am, I opted not to buy their monitoring plan - yet. Should I do so, the top plan is only $49.99 per year for both fire and security. That’s equivalent to one or two months of regular plans with the more known companies.

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.
