The second type of sensors relies on detecting larger particles specific to slow burning, smouldering fires – such as a cigarette left on the sofa by using a light source inside a chamber which points away from the sensor, but will deviate its course towards it at the moment smoke enters this chamber. The First Alert Onelink Safe and Sound uses a photoelectric sensor for detecting smouldering fires and an electrochemical sensor for detecting CO emissions so it uses minimal power to accurately detect any change in the concentration of CO from the atmosphere. In case the sensors detect rising levels of smoke or CO, the LED light will flash a red colour and you’ll hear a voice telling you the location of the detector in case you have more than one devices inter connected. The alerts can be silenced by pushing the Test/Silence button for a minimum of 3 5 seconds or using the app, but be aware that this is only temporary and you will need to identify and fix the problem until the alarm will sound again you get 15 minutes in case the sensor detects smoke and 4 minutes when the sensor detects high levels of CO. The Onelink Safe and Sound smoke/CO alarm can interconnect with other Onelink alarms, so, in case there’s a fire in the kitchen, all the devices will sound the alarm and will tell you the room where the emergency originates. Furthermore, OneLink Safe and Sound works well with the Apple HomeKit home automation hub compatible with the Apple Home app and it has embedded Amazon Alexa Voice Services I’ve got to admit that one of the reasons why this device caught my attention is the integration with Alexa, especially after seeing it working with Linksys Velop and Netgear Orbi. The Onelink Safe and Sound smoke detector also comes with a mobile app which allows you to choose the location of the device, interact with Siri, see the status of the sensors, adjust the NighLight, mute/unmute the microphone, play music and more. Furthermore, you will also receive notifications for any changes which occur in your house even if you’re not at home. Note: Inside the package, you can find the Onelink Safe and Sound smoke / CO alarm, a mounting bracket and additional hardware, as well as a User Manual and a Quick Start Guide the product comes with a 3 year limited warranty. In order to use it properly, you will need a WiFi network, a smartphone or iPhone and the app itself which is free: from both iOS and the Android Store. The device doesn’t require batteries and it is very easy to install: you basically plug it into an outlet you will need 100 240V – most houses have this and install the app on your phone.
