Onelink by First Alert brings new connected home offerings that feature easy integration with each other and unparalleled functionality. The Onelink by First Alert portfolio of products is helping people connect to what matters at the most at CES 2019.

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 Onelink Surround Wi-Fi System delivers faster, stronger, more reliable Wi-Fi throughout the home. The system places a premium on security by creating a closed, private network to help detect and prevent cyber-threat and hacks. The technology scans every outbound connection from the network to analyze URLs and IP addresses to detect malicious traffic and infected machines.

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.

The Onelink Bell doorbell system brings homeowners even more control over monitoring their house. With premium features like 1080 HD live video, motion detection alerts at home or away, two-way audio and more, this new smart doorbell solution offers an added level of security outside the home.

Onelink Bell wirelessly connects with other Onelink devices in the home. The Onelink Bell is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

Onelink Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm is the ideal supplemental alarm for homes that already rely on the Alexa or Google Assistant-enabled Onelink Safe & Sound for both entertainment and safety. This intuitive, easy-to-install, two-in-one alarm protects against the threats of smoke and CO.

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.

OnTracks Introduces GuideWatches Gloves at CES 2019

ces, ,

OnTracks, a French startup, announced its intuitive solution designed especially for motorcycles and cycle gloves at CES 2019. The GuideWatches guide through vibrations anyone who uses a two-wheeler to reach their destination, without taking any risks by checking their smartphone while in urban mobility.

GuideWatches were created by onTracks for outdoor sportsmen in order to facilitate their life and to guarantee them a safer adventure. These are the first connected watches that allow following itinerary without checking the map on “intrusive” vocal orders of the GPS.

Phillipe Leca, CEO and Founder of onTracks said: “We have already bracelets compatible with GuideWatches that can work either like regular watches or specifically on the upper side of the hands. Integrating them into the gloves was this one step further that we have crossed, thanks to professional glove makers who want to innovate.”

OnTracks is for all the enthusiasts of outdoor activities (jogging, mountain biking, hiking, trail), as well as those who use their bike or motorcycle daily.

The user wears two watches (one on each wrist) and connects them with the onTracks app in their smartphone. The onTracks community suggests a wide selection of tracks to the users, according to their habits, performances and current location.

The users chooses their itinerary, clicks on “GO”, and then puts the phone into their pocket and allows themselves to be guided. When the user needs to turn right, the right bracelet vibrates and indicates the order. As soon as there is a left turn, the left bracelet vibrates, providing the necessary information.

The GuideWatch gloves have the bracelet attached to glove itself, which means the GuideWatch gloves function just like the bracelets do.

The GuideWatches will be commercialized in 2019 in stores specialized for outdoor activities, electronics, mobility and their e-Store.

The Smart Video Doorbell has a 1080p Full HD camera with a large 160-degree wide angle lens giving optimum video quality. The camera’s HDR function adjusts to sudden changes in light and allows the user to clearly see what is happening in front of their home whatever the lighting conditions.
