X-Sense Remote Controller with Replaceable Battery, Compatible with X-Sense Link+ Series Smoke Alarms, Carbon Monoxide Alarms and Heat Alarms, RC01 Pro

Really good alarms for the price. Easy to put up and interlink. Remember that even though these are 10 year sealed lithium batteries, you should always test you alarms monthly to ensure their working. If they beep for no reason, try hoovering them, as sometimes dust and little bugs can get inside and affect the sensors. I've had these for 1 year now and no issues at all. Saved me over £200.00 having an electrician provide and fit.

Took me a lot of research before selecting X-Sense Link+ detectors. Extremely easy to install and network together. Had them up and running in a few minutes. Decided to add an X-Sense Link+ CO/Smoke detector as well, ordered and installed the very next day. Adding devices to the network is a doddle , just 4 quick presses on any device already networked (or on the first one!) then 2 quick presses on a unit to be added. Repeat the 4 then 2 until all devices added. Looking at the documentation, support seems good but obviously not required thus far.

Arrived on time. Seem solid and well made. Easy to link all four alarms together and to install . Can’t give 5 stars as only valid for 9.5 years.

Easy to install and link. Everything was quick and easy to do, although you will probably need a drill and basic DIY skills to install.

This is the second time our family have purchased these reliable interlinked heat/smoke detector range, easy to set up a breeze to install and fully functional, the house we installed them had a full set of hard wired alarms but weren’t interlinked so now has double protection for new occupant. Would highly recommend

RC01 Remote Controller. This device works a bit differently to what I had expected. It is only useful if you do not have a hub. Unfortunately the included user manual is postage stamp size, so not easy to read and not very helpful. I downloaded a PDF so could read it more easily. Unlike the Smoke+CO and CO-only alarms that I have added to the Hub using the X-Sense App, the RC01 must be paired directly with a single alarm and this is done with button presses - not the App. The RC01 pairing process is as follows: Press the Test button on the Alarm 4x in quick succession. When the alarm voice announces it is in paring mode, press the Test/Mute button on the RC01 2x in quick succession. The alarm will confirm by voice when it is paired. Once paired the RC01 can Test the paired alarm ONLY (not all linked alarms as I had expected) by pressing and holding its Test/Mute button for about 8-10s (not 3s as described in some X-Sense documents). To Test all alarms press the Test button on any alarm in an interlinked group for about 3s and then all alarms will sound in sequence. NB I Have not tested this. It can also Silence all alarms if sounding in the linked group except the source alarm, with a single tap. This "Locate" function ensures that you are obliged to identify the cause and mute the source alarm with its built-in button or the App. A tap of the RC01 button if there is no alarm sounding will flash the LED on the remote. This confirms the remote has a good battery. It does not report the alarm battery status. Although the App can do this. The RC01 is smaller than I imagined. The back is very difficult to remove and it is supplied with a special tool to pry (not slide) it open, which you would need to do to replace the coin cell battery (CR2032). A double sided sticky pad is provided to mount the RC01 on a wall. I find the RC01 hard to recommend since it does not work with my hub.

Needed to have 3 interlinked detectors for insurance purposes and replaced old battery wire linked units with these. As they are already set up to link it was simply a matter of fixing the base plates and inserting the units - a breeze. Placed one housed in its unit inside loft (thatched roof) to be belts and braces. Delivery was as promised. Instruction clear. Price very competitive. Hence my rating.

Easy to install and link seems to work well.
