That’s because the CO sensor needs far more room, so the SC06-W did end up being as big as the other players from the market, such as the Nest Protect or the First Alert SCO501CN-3ST. When I tested the XS01-WR and the XS01-WT, I saw that the manufacturer focused on making them very compact, and that’s not really the case with the X-Sense SC06-W. That being said, let’s put the X-Sense SC06-W to the test and see how well it performs in case it’s truly needed (fire or CO). I noticed that the manufacturer has also included a non-removable battery that should last about 10 years, the same amount as the device itself and there’s the UL 217 & UL 2034 compliance, which should not be mistaken to certification. ![]() There’s the photoelectric smoke sensor, the possibility to add up to 24 Link+ X-Sense smoke alarms and, even if not as compact as the XS01 line, the SC06-W has a somewhat minimalist design, as to blend in as much as possible with the ceiling (it’s white and it has no large bright LEDs). In any case, I have tested the XS01-WR some time ago and, besides the additional CO sensor, the concept behind the X-Sense SC06-W is very similar. This way, less things can go wrong (then again, the Nest Protect unit that I installed years ago is still going strong, so complex doesn’t always mean low quality). The X-Sense SC06-W is not an IoT device, so don’t expect more than just the aforementioned inter-connection, but that’s more than enough for most people that simply want this device to work as intended with as little additions as possible. ![]()
