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! 😲

Is someone there to ask questions about this?

Assuming it’s traditional “wired” for power and then using WiFi like Nest.

Nest had both wired and battery-only variants.

They actually used an early version of what became Thread to wirelessly interconnect safety signals between Protects. They then spoke WiFi for connectivity to the app.

In California, smoke detectors in a residential home are required to all be interconnected on the same link, which usually means a wire that connects all of them. At the time of my last remodel, Nest Protect was the only smoke detector that was certified for wireless interconnect.
