Setup was pretty easy and I connected 8 units. I think that if they were WiFi capable so you could receive remote notifications and health… they would be perfect! I’m somewhat concerned if they will last 10 years… a small green flash occurs about every minute and to go 10 years with a constant draw of power with recharge… well believe me I will be reviewing as time goes by!
Straightforward installation process, all required mounting screws/anchors were included. Especially appreciated the large base to cover prior installation holes.
Pairing was quick between all sensors, even though I had 12 to install. Testing was simple - press tge test button and all linked units activated as expected.
Hopefully the 10 year battery will give me 10 year life, too soon to tell just yet :-)
No app for the SC07–W, so we’ll see if I miss the features from the NEST app or not.
It's HUGE and UGLY. Wife hates them. If it wasn't a code requirement I wouldn't put those in the beautifully finished house.

Hi JW,
Thank you for your honest feedback. We understand that design and home aesthetics are important when installing safety devices.
The SC07-W combines both smoke and carbon monoxide sensors along with interlinking technology into a single unit, which requires a slightly larger footprint to house the dual sensors and ensure optimal airflow for safety compliance. We appreciate your input and will share it with our design team as we work on future, more compact models.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out at support@x-sense.com.
I am very impressed with this set! We installed them today, it was a breeze. They are high quality, significantly more functional than our previous individual smoke and CO detectors, and aesthetically look clean.
