A battery-sealed combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm that mounts with screws and needs no wiring for its whole life. It does not link to other alarms, so a whole-home interconnected system needs the separate wireless version.

Overview
Bedrooms, hallways and rentals without alarm wiring suit this X-Sense unit, which senses both smoke and carbon monoxide on a sealed battery. A photoelectric sensor watches for smoke while an electrochemical cell reads CO, shown on an LCD.
Two alarms in one housing with no battery changes for a decade cuts upkeep and ceiling clutter. It works alone, so an alarm in the basement will not trigger the one upstairs.
Who it's for
Rooms without hardwired alarms and landlords wanting low-maintenance units suit it. Larger homes needing interconnected alerts should look at the wireless model.
Pros and cons
- Smoke and CO in one device
- Sealed battery for its full life
- Screws to any wall or ceiling
- CO level shown on display
- No Wi-Fi or app
- Whole unit is replaced at end of life
Performance notes
Photoelectric sensors detect smoke by light scattering in a chamber, which responds well to smoldering fires, while the electrochemical cell measures CO concentration over time. The sealed battery powers both for the device's life, after which the whole unit is replaced. Placement near sleeping areas matters more than any setting.
