“As smart home capabilities continue to push the boundaries of
what’s possible, Onelink is right there – offering simple,
integrated solutions that take full advantage of the best that
today’s connected home technology offers,” said Tom Russo, vice
president of marketing and new product development at First Alert,
the most trusted brand in home safety*. “The exciting innovations
we’re showcasing at this year’s CES open up a world of
possibilities to the connected home space and pave the way for
future additions to the Onelink portfolio.”
Echoing the brand promise of being “always connected, always
protected,” First Alert will introduce and demonstrate the
following products at CES 2019:
- Onelink Surround Wi-Fi System –
The Onelink Surround Wi-Fi solution delivers faster, stronger, more
reliable Wi-Fi throughout the home. True to First Alert’s legacy of
home safety and protection, the system places a premium on security
by creating a closed, private network to help detect and prevent
cyber-threats and hacks. The technology scans every outbound
connection from the network to analyze URLs and IP addresses to
detect malicious traffic and infected machines. Users are notified
of any potentially suspect activity and, if restricted settings are
enabled, it can block any questionable content. The system also
gives uses 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 – Look who’s at the
front door – your Onelink alarm now has company. As the latest
addition to the Onelink portfolio, the new 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
of the home. Unlike other smart doorbells on the market, the
Onelink Bell wirelessly interconnects with other Onelink devices in
the home, automatically activating other existing Onelink alarms to
allow the doorbell to be heard throughout the home. The Onelink
Bell is also compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant,
enabling users to ask the virtual assistant what’s going on outside
and have it report back. All of these capabilities are packed into
a modern, elegantly designed doorbell that blends in well with any
style home.
- Onelink Safe & Sound – The
Onelink Safe & Sound just 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
includes its 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 goes where no smoke or carbon monoxide (CO) alarm
has gone before, delivering First Alert’s trusted smoke and CO
protection, along with a superior home speaker and built-in virtual
assistant. True to its name, 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 – allowing users to select the appropriate alarm
based on their preferred virtual assistant platform. In addition,
the Onelink Safe & Sound is fully compatible and easily
integrated with other products in the Onelink portfolio, such as
the new Onelink Bell.
- Onelink Smoke & Carbon Monoxide
Alarm – Bringing convenient connectivity and peace of mind to
every household, the new Onelink Smoke & CO Alarm by First
Alert 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, the alarm will also send an alert to the
user’s smartphone. Additional smart features include wireless
interconnection and compatibility with Apple HomeKit, Google
Assistant actions and Alexa skills.
“The Onelink product introductions build solidly on the Onelink
Safe & Sound and leverage its multi-faceted functionality and
installation points in the home to deliver useful and smart
integrations for the 21st century homeowner,” said Russo. “Whether
it’s the life-safety smoke and carbon monoxide detection or
Internet security function of the Onelink Surround Wi-Fi System,
Onelink has you covered.”
