X-Sense Wi-Fi Smoke Alarm with SBS50 Base Station (FS31)

X-Sense Wi-Fi Smoke Alarm with SBS50 Base Station (FS31)

A Wi-Fi smoke alarm that pairs with X-Sense's base station so a fire in one room sets off alerts across the house and pings your phone when you're out. Useful if you sleep at the other end of the house, have a garage or loft you rarely check, or want to know about a problem while you're at work. It needs the SBS50 base station and a 2.4GHz network to do the smart side, so it's more setup than a standalone alarm.

  • Interlinked and app alerts mean you hear about a fire even if it starts in a distant room
  • Phone notifications are handy for second homes, garages or when you're away
  • Photoelectric sensor suits smouldering fires common in bedrooms and living rooms
