Key differences between Heiman Interconnected CO Alarm C1-R 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
- Screen (display): Heiman Interconnected CO Alarm C1-R — No; X-Sense Wi-Fi Carbon Monoxide Alarm — Yes.
- Built In Light (features): Heiman Interconnected CO Alarm C1-R — No; X-Sense Wi-Fi Carbon Monoxide Alarm — Yes.
- Tests Itself (features): Heiman Interconnected CO Alarm C1-R — Yes (Continuous sensor, RF link and battery self-diagnostics, plus a test and silence button); X-Sense Wi-Fi Carbon Monoxide Alarm — No.
Specifications to check side by side
- 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (connectivity): Heiman Interconnected CO Alarm C1-R — Heiman Gateway required (The alarm itself has no Wi-Fi: the optional WS3GW-R gateway joins a 2.4 GHz network and relays its alerts to the Heiman app); X-Sense Wi-Fi Carbon Monoxide Alarm — Yes (IEEE 802.11b/g/n).
- Other (connectivity): Heiman Interconnected CO Alarm C1-R — RF wireless interconnect (915 MHz Sub-1G radio, up to 800 ft in open areas per Heiman; links with other Heiman RF alarms such as the S1-R so one alarm sets them all off); X-Sense Wi-Fi Carbon Monoxide Alarm — No.
- Automations (features): Heiman Interconnected CO Alarm C1-R — Heiman Gateway required (Automations run in the Heiman app or a linked platform once the gateway is added); X-Sense Wi-Fi Carbon Monoxide Alarm — No.
- Google Home (integrations): Heiman Interconnected CO Alarm C1-R — Heiman Gateway required (Through the Heiman WS3GW-R gateway, which Heiman says works with Home Assistant, IFTTT, Google Home and SmartThings); X-Sense Wi-Fi Carbon Monoxide Alarm — No.
Information still to confirm
