It has a digital readout for carbon monoxide, which is the best part of the X-sense interconnected smoke detector. The readout stays blank unless we press the test button, and then it displays the reading for a couple of minutes. The cost was good; the only issue was it says it meets UL 217 standards, it does not say which edition of the standard. The 217 standards have been around for years, but the 9th edition is the new standard begun in May 2020.
When purchased, it was the 9th edition making it value for money.

Most rental apartments necessarily have a smoke alarm for years now, but it should not be missing in the private house either. Previously we had used the usual hardware store detectors, which with their false alarms and the unattractive appearance has been replaced by this set.
The smoke detectors from X-sense are relatively small and, therefore, also optically quite inconspicuous.
People find the product worth every penny. Sometimes the irreplaceable battery of the smoke alarm is seen as a drawback of the product. Overall, it is subtle, rated 5 stars, and has the best capability to save us from any mishap.
