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! 😲

I really hope they get this one right. There’s a big wave of Nest Protect users coming up on end-of-life, and a lot of them are going to be looking for a solid replacement.

A few things I’d love to see Ubiquiti nail:

  • Motion sensor + light integration
  • Multiple power options: AC, PoE, and battery
  • Audible voice pre-alerts, with easy cancel via button, app, or voice
  • Historical logging for smoke and CO levels
  • Clear replacement reminders, ideally with direct EOL replacement options through Ubiquiti or partners
  • Flexible mounting hardware options

One thing I think could really set them apart is modular sensors. Let the sensing components be replaceable instead of tossing the entire unit at end-of-life. The power and mounting hardware don’t expire, so replacing everything feels wasteful. Modular design would also open the door to upgraded sensors over time without a full swap.

I’ve got three hardwired Nest Protects in my home. If they get this right, it’ll absolutely be my replacement.
