CES attendees will experience first-hand the many features and
benefits of the new Onelink products via an experiential
presentation, designed to demonstrate how they work together to
make it easy for consumers to monitor and control their homes’
comfort and security from anywhere, at any time.
“Onelink by First Alert brings safety and simplicity with
security to the connected home space,” said Tom Russo, president of
First Alert. “By demonstrating how these products work – and work
together – we can give visitors a real sense of the limitless
possibilities that are available to protect what matters most: our
families and homes.”
Common Sense Products for Connected Homes
The Onelink by First Alert portfolio includes a range of home
monitoring devices designed to seamlessly integrate with a growing
number of HomeKit accessories to create a comprehensive smart home
system that conveniently connects users to their homes via the
Onelink Home App on their iOS devices (iPhone, iPad and iPod touch)
or Apple Watch. Initial product offerings include:
- Onelink by First Alert Wi-Fi Smoke +
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm – This intuitive, easy-to-install,
two-in-one alarm protects against the threats of smoke and carbon
monoxide, and notifies users on their iOS devices in the event of
an emergency. The alarm is offered in both hardwired (with 10-year
sealed battery back-up) and 10-year sealed battery versions to
accommodate different consumer needs and building
requirements.
- Onelink by First Alert Wi-Fi
Environment Monitor – A first-of-its-kind innovation, this
smart device features advanced sensing technologies to monitor for
both high and low levels of carbon monoxide (CO), both of which can
be harmful. Additionally, it monitors temperature and humidity and
notifies users on their iOS devices of any changes. A multi-colored
LED ring on the device informs users at a glance regarding the
status of a room’s environment, and changes color to indicate
shifts in temperature or other conditions.
- Onelink by First Alert Wi-Fi
Safe – Convenient connectivity is the hallmark of this sleek
and smart safe. It connects remotely via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 LE
with iOS devices, and can be unlocked securely from the Onelink
Home App. The battery-operated safe includes a built-in
accelerometer that detects motion and alerts users via the app if
anyone attempts to move or open it.
- Onelink by First Alert Wi-Fi
Thermostat – Ideal for homes and small business settings, this
programmable regulator connects easily to Wi-Fi and enables users
to control their heating and cooling directly from an iOS device
via the Onelink Home App. Using the app or the thermostat’s
full-color touchscreen interface, users can set the temperature,
turn heating or air conditioning on or off, trigger pre-set home or
away settings, and set a schedule by the day of the week and the
time of day.
“Since inventing our first smoke alarm more than 50 years ago,
First Alert has been at the forefront of advancement in home safety
technology,” noted Russo. “This legacy, combined with the proven
performance of our products through the years, has earned First
Alert a reputation as the most trusted name in home safety*. The
Onelink portfolio brings our expertise to the growing connected
home space, and we look forward to continuing to win consumers’
trust in this dynamic arena.”
Powerful Personal Protection
In addition to showcasing connected products for the home, First
Alert also will debut its new Onelink Safety App. This
personal safety app, which works with Apple Watch and iPhone
devices, provides users with quick, efficient and convenient
connectivity, allowing them to notify emergency contacts if they
are in need of support or help. With a simple tap of the alert
screen, or by using Siri commands, the in-app capability allows
users to quickly contact up to five emergency contacts on their
mobile devices with push notifications if the app user is need of
assistance. The app also sends live GPS tracking of the user’s
location.
Through the Onelink Safety app, users can easily and quickly
activate an emergency alert sound on their iPhone, press to call
911 emergency services directly with a phone call, or communicate
quickly to their emergency contacts with in-app predefined
messaging.
The Onelink by First Alert Wi-Fi Smoke + CO Alarm is currently
available at Lowe’s, Amazon.com, Apple.com and in Apple stores
across the country. Other HomeKit-enabled Onelink products and the
Onelink Safety App will become available in 2016. For more
