So, if you're wondering about the X-Sense XS0B-MR61 smoke detector system working with Alexa, it seems that's not an option. Our research didn't find any indication that it connects directly with Alexa for control or integration.
The focus with this system is more on its smart features through its own app, where you can monitor and manage the system remotely.
One cool feature is how the detectors are interconnected—they talk to each other. If one detects smoke, all of them will alert you, which is pretty handy for safety. Plus, there are voice alerts to help you figure out which detector has been triggered.
A little downside is that the base station doesn't have a battery backup. So, if the power goes out, its operation is affected. That's something to keep in mind, especially if power cuts are common where you live.
But, on the bright side, the individual detectors use CR123A batteries that last around five years, according to what the manufacturer says, so they're good to go even if the base station is down for a bit.
If you're set on using Alexa and want voice-activated controls or alerts, this might not be the right pick. But, if you like the idea of using its app and can handle not having a power backup with some extra planning, it could be a solid choice to boost your home's safety.
