Our Home Safety
First, let’s talk about the home safety aspect of Onelink, it is an intelligent gadget that is for sure! Onelink will notify me on my phone whether I’m home or not if something is not right in my house. The alarm will tell my family to evacuate and the alarm is loud. Everyone was able to hear it from their room.
First Alert has been around for over 60 years in the residential smoke alarm business, so this is a trusted brand in our book. Like any great business, it has grown their products to keep up with modern day uses, like smart home technology.
How Can Onelink Make Your Life Easier?
As a parent, I’m down for anything that will make my life easier, you too? Busy families this will be your best friend for some many reasons. Yes, keeping family safe is the number reason, but this is more than a home safety alarm.
- Onelink Safe & Sound makes life easier:
- Playing music with premium sound. You can play from Amazon Music; I Heart Radio, Spotify, Pandora, and audible. Listen to music, podcasts and more.
- Simple hands-free commands- talk to Alexa on your Safe & Sound. Have questions ask Alexa. We check on movie times and what the bus routes are for the kids. Use it to set timers too—I like this one the most because I can sit down and then remember I need a timer and BAM I ask Alexa. No burnt dishes this week.
- Set times, control smart home devices and much more.
- You can also customize the night light, select the color and brightness. My husband is up at 2:30 am so this would be amazing for him to see when it is dark in the living room.
Onelink Safe & Sound is designed to work with many existing, interconnected hardwired alarms in the home, allowing consumers to maintain some alarms they currently have installed in their home. This is very helpful for home safety.
Installing Onelink
The installation process is easy except I have a couple of tips. First, download the Onelink app before installation, it will walk you through the steps. The second tip is don’t have your husband work on this unless he knows something about home repairs and electricity. I love my husband but waiting and watching him do this was painful. Don’t get me wrong the installation is easy, just not for my husband who hates to read instructions.
The Onelink Safe & Sound uses your home’s existing wiring – and thanks to an integrated adapter plug there is no rewiring is required. Oh yeah, make sure the power is turned off…very essential but easy to do.
