Remote Controller RC01 for X-Sense Link+ Wireless Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detector Alarms (1-Pack)

Connected with a set of 6 detectors without problems. Controlled each as promised. If you have more than 1 or 2 detectors, we do recommend this controller to simplify testing and monitoring.

Doesn't work with home base network connected alarms. I have 8 smoke alarms, 1 co2, 1 combination smoke/Co2 and a heat alarm connected to a home base. As the house is big I tried to use the remote on a different floor than where the home base is situated. I followed the instructions and paired it with one of my smoke detectors, then tried testing it and realized that it only communicates with that detector I paired it with, and that detector was no longer connected with the home base network. So conclusion if you have a home base environment this remote is useless. This is only usable in a non home base interconnected setup.

This brand has really impressed me and the development of this remote was a very bright idea. Gone are the days of grabbing a broom or towel to silence false alarms. I easily connected six devices with this remote. My favorite feature is the ability to silence all but the one sensor that triggered the alarm. Size of the remote is small however, it does come with double sided tape to permanently attach to a wall. I placed mine in the kitchen since that typically is the source of any false alarms I may have. The remote feels like a good quality product and it does take replaceable coin batteries. I expect the battery will last quite a long time. You will not be disappointed if you buy this product.

I've installed 18 of these alarms. All interconnected. After reading the instructions a few times, it was easy to interconnect all 18. I then position them throughout the property and texted them to make sure they all went off. They did. I did multiple tests -- all worked well. The range is quite good -- I have a seperate garage from the house and no problems there. Very easy to install -- but if your install more than three I recommend you do a lot of planning. Be methodical. I labeled each alarm and noted the details in a spreadsheet. I also got three remotes -- and these were easy to pair and work flawlessly. Here's what I don't know yet: - how long will the batteries actually last. It's rated for 10 years. Time will tell. - if I need help will X-Sense be responsive to my needs. I dunno. I've read some reviews saying they do not respond at all. I hope these were one-offs. Will all combined I spent $380 on the alarms and remotes. I hope it proves to be a good investment. So far, so good. I give four stars because I can't evaluate I can't battery life. If the smoke alarm batteries work for at least 9 years, I'll be very pleased.

Finally got it to work w/ interconnected detectors. You have to push the button longer than you'd think. I think it's over priced.
