Product Description
"The First Alert Onelink 2-in-1 smart smoke and carbon monoxide alarm alerts you to both types of danger in your home. Emergency notifications alert you to danger via your phone, while voice and location technology tell you the type and area of danger; the alarm also uses a traditional 85-decibel siren. Wirelessly interconnect with other existing traditional hardwired alarms and other Onelink devices (sold separately) to create a smart home safety network, so if one alarm sounds, they all sound. This alarm is also compatible with Amazon Alexa; you can ask Alexa to check the status of your Onelink alarm. The Onelink Home App is compatible with both Android and iOS devices. The easy-access door makes battery changes simpler. If battery power is getting low, Onelink will let you know via a notification in the app before the alarm starts to chirp.".

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The key features for me are: wired and wireless interconnectivity between the detectors, voice guidance that announces location of trouble, and an app that provides status information about battery, connectivity, etc. These devices tick all of those boxes, and they blend unobtrusively into the ceiling (the nests stand out a bit). Several comments address inconsistencies with push notifications. This isn’t a feature I care much about, but in my tests I did receive push notifications when the alarm went off. The notifications lagged by a few minutes. This is similar to what I experienced with my old nest devices, but the nest app seems to be a little more polished. The voice announcements are similar to what I am accustomed to with the nest, although the sound quality is not as crisp.
Like many others noted, I too purchased this for the push notifications to receive alerts while away but never have I gotten them nor does the history update.
Rant-
Picture this: it’s 2:15am with a house full of guests and little ones. One of the alarms goes off and they did interconnect triggering all 8 alarms. That’s right, 8. Since my brother was one of the guests we immediately came running from opposite ends of the house to the nursery to find my daughter sound asleep in her crib. We attempted multiple times to shut them off locally on the device and through the app, never succeeding and one after another the alarms sung to each other until we went to each device, removing power connections. (I have a handful of each, hardwired and battery) At this point everyone is up, kids are crying and scared. House settles back in.
The next day after the false alarm I realized I never received a push notification so I look
Into the app. No where in the history does it say any alarm was ever triggered. ‘ok’ was what each device said.
Because it’s a weekend I decide to wait to call CS to figure out what happened. Well, like clockwork the next night another alarm goes off around midnight but this time the triggered unit is in the family room. Again with the melee.
Initially I thought maybe one device was faulty but then realized it couldn’t be just one unit for two different units on opposite ends of the house going off. This second instance never sent any push notification, either. I decided to send an email with the logs and got a response that I should ‘clean the photo sensor and reset devices’. But at this point I’m livid that while these faulty alarms did interconnect, none of this was ever captured in the history nor did it send any push notifications.
CS did send me a handful of brand new devices but as I installed them I ordered canned smoke, really wanting to know if I got bamboozled or if this ‘smart’ device actually work. Well, after spending four hours to install the replacements I’m actually anxious for the canned smoke to arrive to be proven wrong. Knowing(hoping) my family will be alerted and safe when these devices respond as they should in an emergency is my main priority. Canned smoke arrives and rip it open to let the smoke fly….nothing. All in I opened three cans waving around in various rooms and one smoke alarm triggers. The only thing is this is my old smoke alarm sitting on the counter. After 8-10minutes one of the OneLink alarms triggers but oddly enough it’s in my office where no canned smoke was released. No other alarms interconnected and that’s when I knew these were a terrible investment and I would never see $1000 back because I’m now was passed a return window.
First Alerts reputation can only be salvaged with updating and correcting the many known issues, then replacing the $1000 worth of units for their absolutely fraudulent claims. Or, simply sending me a check for a refund and go our separate ways. But since none of the above has happens yet, I’ll say this:
DO NOT purchase this product unless you see a written statement from First Alert apologizing for their fraud and making good to the customers who purchased this alarm. As the only Homekit option they had the market cornered and defrauded consumers knowing darn well this was not ready for market and continue to suggest reboots of routers and resetting of devices as a solution. The tone of the CS rep I spoke to was one of defeat and apologetic for the known issues, leaving me to believe that internally at Fiest Alert they know they are in trouble. I’m an extremely motivated individual now and will pursue this as far as I can.
In theory, this is an extremely valuable resource to own. In application, it’s not even close to what is advertised. Issue a sweeping update or a recall, First Alert. At least salvage some respect on this product fail.
I found the setup to be relatively easy and quick. The first one took the longest to set up, about 20 minutes including hanging and syncing, but once I understood the process, the other three took just minutes. The only issue with the syncing process was on the first one where it was seeming to take a long time to pair with the app. I was getting the spinning wheel and "connecting" message for what seemed like 5 minutes before it timed out. An error message on the app informed me that I should try to turn Bluetooth on my phone off and back on, which worked (maybe there is an issue if you were previously connected with another Bluetooth device). After resetting the device, it connected and completed setup in a couple minutes. The next three set up without issues and they were interconnected automatically. Testing the unit in the basement set off the other units on the upper floors. These units communicate with each other via Bluetooth, but are connected to the Homekit hub via wifi (I think). It helped that each unit was within one floor of another one and more or less directly above each other, which made for a straight line of communication between them without a lot of physical barriers.
It also helps if you have a strong wifi and bluetooth network within your home. I added a HomePod to my office in the basement to supplement the AppleTV on the middle floor of my house. With this setup I have had no issues with any of these devices staying connected to the Homekit Hubs and Onelink and Apple Home Apps.
I was replacing some older Kiddie alarms and the flexible mounting plate with the Onelink alarms allowed me to reuse the same holes, anchors and screws without having to drill new ones. The only exception was with one newer Kiddie alarm that had a small three-screw mounting plate. On this one I had to drill one new hole and I reused one existing hole.
My biggest complaint with this product I would say is that the documentation is very hard to read. The font size is small and light with a lot of red text and it is practically unreadable without a strong light or magnifying glass. It looks like they were trying to make the print design modern and aesthetically pleasing while fitting the booklet to the size of the box, but I found that it was easier to download a PDF on my computer and read it that way.
For those living in a small urban townhouse like mine, or even an apartment that is connected on the sides to other homes, I feel like an improvement to the Onelink would be to have an adjustable volume or quite mode for regular testing since testing these alarms, especially with four of them interconnected, creates quite a lot of noise that is easily heard by the neighbors. My devices are in the hall/stairway so the sound echoes quite a bit too. I don’t want to disturb or alarm people because I am testing my devices, especially when you have to have the alarm going for a bit to test the notification feature on the app. This forces me to be more reluctant to do testing at recommended intervals. In an ideal device, I would build in a microphone that could hear it’s own alarm to test the sound function, but would only need a single note or chirp that could be picked up to test the sound/audio function. Then a test could be scheduled at a regular time each week and the results of the test sent back to the app to confirm that everything is fine. People don’t really test their alarms regularly like they should, and this feature could automate that function.
