Key differences between Aqara Smart Smoke Detector and X-Sense Wi-Fi Carbon Monoxide Alarm

A summary of selected recorded differences between these smoke & co detectors. Check the full specification table below for details and conditions.

Feature differences among your selected devices

Co Alerts (alerts): Aqara Smart Smoke Detector — No; X-Sense Wi-Fi Carbon Monoxide Alarm — Yes.
Fire Alerts (alerts): Aqara Smart Smoke Detector — Yes; X-Sense Wi-Fi Carbon Monoxide Alarm — No.
2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (connectivity): Aqara Smart Smoke Detector — No; X-Sense Wi-Fi Carbon Monoxide Alarm — Yes (IEEE 802.11b/g/n).

Specifications to check side by side

Zigbee (connectivity): Aqara Smart Smoke Detector — Zigbee Hub required; X-Sense Wi-Fi Carbon Monoxide Alarm — No.
Alexa (integrations): Aqara Smart Smoke Detector — Aqara Hub required (Aqara lists Alexa for the Smoke Detector through Matter over Bridge, and Alexa does support the Matter Smoke CO Alarm device type, so a Matter capable Aqara hub is what makes it work); X-Sense Wi-Fi Carbon Monoxide Alarm — No (X-Sense confirms its smoke and CO alarms do not work with Alexa: only the AS05 and AS08 security kits are Alexa compatible, and Alexa's API has no smoke or CO alarm type anyway).
Apple Home (integrations): Aqara Smart Smoke Detector — Aqara Hub required; X-Sense Wi-Fi Carbon Monoxide Alarm — No.
Google Home (integrations): Aqara Smart Smoke Detector — Aqara Hub required (Aqara lists Google among the ecosystems the Smoke Detector reaches through Matter over Bridge, so a Matter capable Aqara hub is what makes it work); X-Sense Wi-Fi Carbon Monoxide Alarm — No.
