Heiman HS1SA Series Smoke Alarm vs X-Sense WiFi Smoke & CO Detector

The X-Sense WiFi Smoke & CO Detector is the more complete alarm because it senses both smoke and carbon monoxide and adds an LCD screen, while the Heiman HS1SA Series Smoke Alarm detects smoke only. The Heiman wins on price and Zigbee smart home integration.

Carbon monoxide coverage. The X-Sense WiFi Smoke & CO Detector combines smoke and CO sensing in one unit with CO alerts, while the Heiman HS1SA Series Smoke Alarm has no CO sensor and would need a separate detector for carbon monoxide.

The X-Sense WiFi Smoke & CO Detector has an LCD screen for status but no platform integrations, connecting only to its own app. The Heiman HS1SA Series Smoke Alarm has no screen, yet it links to SmartThings and Home Assistant over Zigbee through a hub.

The Heiman HS1SA Series Smoke Alarm is the cheaper unit, which suits a budget smoke-only install. The X-Sense WiFi Smoke & CO Detector costs more but bundles carbon monoxide sensing and a display into that price.

Buy the X-Sense WiFi Smoke & CO Detector if you want one alarm that covers both smoke and carbon monoxide, with a clear LCD readout and WiFi phone alerts, rather than mounting two separate devices.

Buy the Heiman HS1SA Series Smoke Alarm if you only need smoke detection at the lowest price, want a compact, discreet unit, and value optional Zigbee automations through a SmartThings or Home Assistant hub.
