X-Sense XS0B-MR Interconnected Smart Smoke Alarm review: Hearing voices

Here is a 187-word summary of the key points from the news article: The X-Sense XS0B-MR Interconnected Smart Smoke Alarm is a fully interconnected smoke detection system that sounds alarms across all detectors when one is triggered, and provides voice alerts to indicate which room the smoke was detected in. The system comes with a base station and three satellite smoke detectors, with the ability to support up to 24 detectors total. The key advantages of the MR31 system over X-Sense's previous FS31 model are the voice alerts and improved interconnectivity - the alarms will still sound locally even if the base station loses power. However, the detectors are larger and less attractive than the FS31 ones. Additionally, the system does not detect carbon monoxide. Setup can be challenging due to the X-Sense app's confusing product organization. But once installed, the system performed reliably in testing, with all alarms sounding and voice alerts functioning as expected. An optional professional monitoring service is available, though it may be overpriced for just smoke/fire protection. Overall, the voice alerts make the MR31 a worthwhile upgrade over the FS31 system.
