Unveiling its latest Onelink by First Alert innovations, the
home safety expert will demonstrate new technology and products
that help make lives easier and safer while home and away. Product
experts will be on hand throughout the show to explain the unique
product specifications in a newly designed interactive booth space
conceived to provide an immersive and engaging experience to
visitors.
“First Alert continues to be at the forefront of emerging
technology since inventing the first residential smoke alarm 60
years ago,” said Tom Russo, vice president of marketing and product
development at First Alert, the most trusted brand in home safety*.
“The newest additions to our award-winning Onelink portfolio
celebrate our heritage of home safety and deliver convenience and
sought-after features in surprising ways.”
First Alert Enters New Categories, Expands Portfolio to
Include Lifestyle and Entertainment
Echoing the brand promise of being “always connected, always
protected,” Onelink introductions at CES make achieving a connected
home easier and incorporate features for everyday convenience, all
accessible via simple voice commands or the Onelink Home app. New
product offerings include:
- Onelink Safe & Sound – Meet
your family’s new best friend. This 3-in-1 device delivers added
convenience and enjoyment to every household. The Onelink Safe
& Sound is the first announced smoke and carbon monoxide (CO)
alarm with a superior home speaker and ability to process voice
commands. The device features exclusive voice and location
technology to alert users to the type of danger and its location.
The wireless interconnection feature automatically activates other
Onelink alarms in the home when an emergency is detected. In
addition, the Onelink Safe & Sound has a host of features that
put it in a category of its own:
- Onelink Safe & Sound with Amazon
Alexa – Need Something? Just ask Alexa – built directly into
the new Onelink Safe & Sound. Users can simply ask Alexa to
play music, hear the news, check the weather and control other
smart home devices with the Onelink Safe & Sound.
- Onelink Safe & Sound with the
Google Assistant – Simply say “Hey Google,” to trigger the
Google Assistant that’s built directly into the new Onelink Safe
& Sound. Users can have their own personal Google right on
their ceiling and ask it questions or tell it to do something. From
controlling devices in the home to providing information about your
day, the Google Assistant simplifies life and can help accomplish
tasks, play music and more – all via the Onelink Safe & Sound
smoke and CO alarm.
- Onelink Safe & Sound with Apple
HomeKit – Using the Apple Home app or Siri, simply and securely
control Onelink Safe & Sound as well as other HomeKit
accessories right from an iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch. Set up
scenes, access the Onelink Safe & Sound remotely, or have
things happen automatically. The Onelink Safe & Sound will
also support Apple AirPlay 2 upon availability. AirPlay 2 enables
multi-room audio and Siri control for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch
users, all through the Apple Home app.
- Onelink Connect – In keeping
with its reputation for safety and reliability, First Alert enters
a new category with its Wi-Fi mesh tri-band solution, which
delivers faster, stronger, more reliable internet throughout the
home. The Onelink Connect system includes three nodes which can be
placed throughout the home. The nodes are in constant communication
with one another via a dedicated backhaul, preventing congestion
and directing maximum internet speeds to the locations where it’s
needed most. The resulting network blankets the home with
consistent Wi-Fi coverage, enabling users and devices to get online
– and stay online – faster and easier.
- Onelink Smoke & Carbon Monoxide
(CO) Alarm – Experience the convenience and peace of mind of
smart alerts on your phone, wireless interconnection with other
compatible Onelink alarms and a customizable nightlight, all with
the Onelink Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm. The sleekly designed
alarm works with Apple HomeKit and works with Alexa and the Google
Assistant actions, so users can choose their preferred platform to
integrate the alarm in their connected home. Both hard-wired with
battery back-up and battery-operated versions will be available,
with easy adapter plugs to make installation a breeze.
“We continue to enhance the Onelink portfolio to provide
consumers added connectivity and convenience with their devices,”
Russo said. “As the leader in the home safety industry, First Alert
is proud to ensure users can be connected and protected with
Onelink.”
