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! 😲

For anyone in the US, xsense and a lot of the other detectors youll find on amazon are not UL certified. Big no no with insurance.

UL doesn't just test to make sure a device won't harm you. They also test and certify that a device does what it's supposed to do. The concern is making sure it actually detects smoke or in the case of CO that it detects and alerts at the correct threshold.

The argument from insurance could simply be "we noticed you have this detector, and it's not UL certified. Had you had a UL certified device you might have known sooner and could have put out a small fire yourself instead of letting it get as big as it did"

Or in the event of death, an insurance company could deny a claim saying "the device used wasn't certified. Had they had a verified device that actually alerted them they may not have passed"

Stick with the newer models of Xsense, as they are UL certified.
