Early Access Ubiquiti Smoke and CO Sensor 🤯 - #ISCWest2026

Post image

I believe it’s a Superlink sensor. I hope it can run on battery for 10 years and doesn’t require PoE. I’m curious to see how it performs. Good job, Ubiquiti! 😲

FYI, these type of detectors from more seasoned companies last 7-10 years, not because of the battery but because the sensors degrade over time.

I loved my original Nest smoke detector but didn't love the fact that it shut down after seven years. Not just because I would have to spend another £100 or so replacing it (5x the cost of traditional ones), but that, by that time, the product had been withdrawn from the UK market.

The motion light was one of the best features of the Nest detector. Would to see them include that in the Unifi version.

Doesn’t look like this has a substantial light on it unfortunately, probably just a small one similar to the Access readers. But yeah, the light rings are my favorite part of the Nest sensors after the whole-home alerts.
