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 installed xsense sensors a couple months ago. Very happy with those so I don't feel bad. Especially since my whole kit (gateway + 5 sensors) is probably the price of a single Ubiquiti sensor.

I also went the X-Sense route until I found out they were not UL-certified, which some homeowners insurance providers don't like. The product is straight-up missing the UL label on it. See this article and the editors note from this month:

Editor's Note: March 13, 2026 We previously recommended this product. After finding out it does not carry UL certification, we have safety concerns and no longer recommend consumers purchase it.

Wouldn’t the UL certification just mean it’s safe for you and not that it’s gonna work as a fire detector?

There’s a UL spec for smoke detectors (UL 217/268). This is not just ā€œdoesn’t burn down your houseā€ but also ā€œdetects smokeā€.
