X-Sense Base Station SBS50 | The central heart of your secure home Do you want to optimally secure your home against fire, carbon monoxide, or water damage without overloading your Wi-Fi network? The X-Sense SBS50 Base Station is the perfect solution. This compact and powerful gateway acts as the central coordinator for all your compatible X-Sense Link+ devices. Whether it's an incipient fire in the attic or a leaking washing machine in the basement: this smart hub quickly picks up every alarm signal and sends it directly to the cloud. With actions such as an automatic push notification to your smartphone, you'll immediately know what's going on in case of trouble. Stable RF connection with a gigantic range Unlike standard Wi-Fi sensors, the detectors communicate with the X-Sense Base Station via a specific and secure radio frequency (868 MHz). This offers three enormous advantages. First, the indoor range is unprecedentedly large (up to 500 meters in open field), meaning thick walls and concrete floors are no barrier. Second, the connected detectors consume extremely little power, resulting in a battery life of up to 10 years. Finally, you relieve your Wi-Fi router; the switch to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network only occurs at the gateway. You can effortlessly connect up to 50 sensors to a single hub, allowing you to cover your entire home with one device. Built-in siren and smart app functions The SBS50 base station is not just a conduit; it is an active alarm giver. The hub features a loud built-in siren (85 dB) and a clear LED indicator. If a connected smoke detector triggers an alarm, not only does that detector sound, but the base station also immediately starts blaring. You manage the entire system via the free X-Sense Home app (available for iOS and Android). You can organize detectors by room, check battery status, perform test procedures, and temporarily mute the system with the push of a button in case of a false alarm (e.g., due to burnt food). Ecosystems & Compatibility Although the X-Sense ecosystem excels in its own app environment, you can integrate the SBS50 gateway into your broader smart home network in several ways: Home Assistant: Integration is possible via stable cloud-to-cloud components or Homebridge redirects. This allows you to use the status of your smoke or water detectors as triggers for advanced scripts, such as turning on all lights in case of fire. For a stable foundation, check out our extensive Home Assistant collection. Homey Pro: Link the X-Sense cloud environment to your favorite all-in-one controller to read statuses and start smart Advanced Flows when trouble is detected. Find your central hub on our Homey page. SmartThings: Easily link your X-Sense account within the SmartThings app. This allows your security detectors to effortlessly communicate with smart devices from hundreds of other brands. Tuya / Smart Life: The SBS50 runs on the closed X-Sense platform. Cross-platform automations with Tuya systems (such as Action LSC or Calex) can be set up via smart cloud links like IFTTT or webhooks, for example, to open your smart roller shutters in case of an alarm. Pro-Tip from slimhuisje.nl: Place the X-Sense Base Station in a central location in the home (for example, in the hall or living room) and not tucked away in a metal meter cabinet. This optimizes the RF range to all floors and ensures you hear the built-in siren best throughout the house!
