The Onelink Safe & Sound keeps getting better with expanded features like Alexa Calling and Messaging, and soon, Apple Airplay 2 capabilities. First Alert will be previewing a new model, which has exclusive Wi-Fi mesh technology built into the alarm, delivering expanded and stronger Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the home while eliminating the need for additional devices.
The Onelink Safe & Sound also has a superior home speaker and built-in virtual assistant. The device is specifically designed for ceiling installation for a great sound experience via the natural acoustic backdrop, filling the room with immersive sound. Users can simply ask the alarm’s virtual assistant to play music, hear the news, check the weather and control other smart home devices.
The Onelink Safe & Sound is available with either Amazon Alexa or Google assistant built in – and is compatible with Apple HomeKit.
The system also gives the user greater control over their Wi-Fi network usage. With one tap of the Onelink Home app, they can pause the internet, filter content or set rules such as time limits and bedtime. With an emergency override feature, it will also send emergency notices to screens connected to the home’s network.
The Onelink Surround Wi-Fi System includes two ceiling-mount Onelink Safe & Sound alarm units that are hardwired and one base node which should be connected to the home’s router. It is also offered as a stand-alone system, with multiple nodes and both tri- and dual-band options to suit the needs of any tech consumer.
Onelink Bell wirelessly connects with other Onelink devices in the home. The Onelink Bell is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
If smoke or CO is detected in the home, the alarm will notify users via exclusive voice and location technology. In the event of a smoke or CO emergency detected in the home, the alarm will also send an alert to the user’s smartphone.
