From the manufacturer
Can I play music to other Alexa devices or my Everywhere group with Safe & Sound?
Not at this time. Alexa and Safe & Sounds keep getting smarter over time, so you can look forward to more audio capabilities in the future.
Does the Onelink Safe & Sound require rewiring or professional installation?
The Onelink Safe & Sound is meant for DIY installation. Just remove your current alarm and bracket, and install Safe & Sound. Easy adapter plugs are included, so you don't have to rewire to install the alarm.
Once the Safe & Sound unit is wired into my ceiling, what are the next steps?
Once the alarm is installed, the unit will walk you through setup and Alexa integration with Onelink Home app. If you have more than one Safe & Sound, set each one up though the app as you install the units, before moving on to the next one.
How does the Safe & Sound nightlight feature work?
When set on autobrightness, the LED lights glow to light your route in the dark, and get brighter in the day, to ensure visibility in an emergency. You can turn off autobrightness, or adjust brightness and usage through the Onelink app.
Do the LED lights on Safe & Sound also indicate power?
The LED lights also indicate AC power is being received. When you disable the nighlight, 2 LEDs will glow green on the Onelink alarm, letting you know that you have AC power. If the LED is off, your alarm is running with battery backup.

I just spent 2 hours replacing all 12 of my smoke detectors with Onelink Safe and Sounds to get Alexa in every room. I can tell you, I definitely found some improvements to how I would've started installing from the 1st one. So here I am sharing what I learned. It shouldn't take you more than 2 minutes to install each one.
1. Don't rewire. Each detector comes with 3 different adaptors presumably for different brands of smoke detectors. I rewired my 1st one before just using the provided adaptors.
2. Don't take the screws for your old mounting bracket in the electrical box completely out. Simply unscrew a little bit, take your old mounting bracket out, and replace with the Onelink's mount. Make sure the side of the mount with the picture of the screw is facing down or your alarm won't turn on or stop chirping.
3. Make sure you set up all the devices one at a time ON YOUR PHONE as SOON AS YOU INSTALL THEM. Don't be a knucklehead like me and install an entire floor before trying to sych. I had to wait until they stopped flashing then moving the ladder around to press the button 3 times to reset each. Otherwise my phone would detect the hallway when I wanted to set up the bedroom.
Out of 12 I got 1 dud which wouldn't stop chirping no matter what after wiring. But when I used another Onelink where that one was supposed to go in the closet, that one worked. So I'm in the process of getting that one replaced from amazon.
I mainly bought the OneLink for its Alexa integration. I have basically replaced all my lights in the house with Phillips Hue and having voice control is invaluable to me. In this aspect, the OneLink and Alexa do a great job together to allow me to turn off all the lights. I am also in the process of setting up an IFTTT alert which will turn on all the lights in my house when smoke alarms are triggered. I'm ok with the rest of the features.
The only disappointing feature is the nightlight. The Nest has a motion sensor that turns on the nightlight when you pass under it. The OneLink has an autodim setting which dims the nightlight when it gets dark but I would prefer to have the motion sensor.
Speaker quality is okay. It's a bit quiet and you get an equalizer with a balanced setting and a default setting. Default setting sounds better but balanced setting is louder but flatter. Don't expect bumping bass at all especially at low hz. It's passable but if you crank it up, warping starts. You can definitely listen to Top 40 with no issues in your room.
The alarm itself is just a normal smoke alarm screeching however this is in-line with other products including the Nest. It would be nice to be able to switch to different alarms. Room announcements are limited as well by what's pre-programmed. It would be nice for me to be able to use text to speech for room names instead of them being pre-programmed "master bedroom" "kids bedroom" "guest bedroom." I thought Alexa could do text to speech?
The OneLink app is also a little difficult to use. Other than my slight mishap of trying to sync all the alarms on one floor, sometimes I would accidentally miss the very easy to miss "alexa integration" button on the bottom of the GET STARTED. I would then have to reset the smoke detector again to get the prompt back up. That was annoying.
Overall I think it's a good product with excellent Alexa integration which is why I bought it. However, the nightlight, speaker, and
1. Why would anyone want a nightlight to get brighter in the light? Autobrightness in nightlight mode causes the Safe & Sound alarm to get brighter when you turn on the lights. It stands out in a bad way. Nightlight should be *off* when the ambient light is bright, and increase to the brightness you set when the lights dim. (It currently gets more dim when you turn off the lights) Backwards thinking in my opinion.
2. When nightlight is dissabled, two green LEDs remain on to indicate the unit is receiving power. I like the reassurance, but it is SO BRIGHT! I *do not* find the brightness suitable for a bedroom. It casts a green orb glow onto the ceiling around it. I would prefer one green LED, it would suffice, or using the ambient light sensor to dim the light to prevent illuminating my bedroom in a green glow. Slightly depicted in my photo.
3. Temperature stats. This guy apparently has temp sensors embedded, but we can't access that info. Tying these sensors into our smart thermostats like Nest or Ecobee to control comfort in the room we chose would be 👌🏼. "Alexa, goodnight"; *Alexa, having been configured to control my thermostat and knows I like it 65°F when I sleep will now maintain that temperature in my bedroom until I tell it otherwise*
4. First Alert, fix the Onelink Home skill for Alexa. If you try to login to your First Alert Onelink account while adding the skill to Alexa, you will get a credentials error, even if your creds are 100% correct. Who lets this happen...?
****(Sept 2nd: Still broken over a month later)****
5. *This feature is coming in late 2018 according to First Alert* but I will be thoroughly displeased if the Alexa Music Everywhere feature doesn't make it to the device. Many companies enjoy touting concepts these days, only to not deliver. I suppose this also sits with Amazon working with third parties to make it reality.
****(UPDATE 24 April- Still no multi-room music. Amazon has released multi-room music to third party companies over 7 months ago but First Alert still says they will implement when it's released. :( UPDATE Sept. 2nd: Some updates were projected for "Late August" so on September 1st after I noticed no updates, I went to the product website. There are no more "updates coming" banners on the webpage slideshows aside from Homekit 2 compatibility. The projected August update has not arrived so now I'm worried)****
6. Speakers are good. They aren't great. I expected better sound but if Alexa is set to level 8, 9, or 10, you will think you are shredding the speaker cone it is so distorted. However, when music everywhere feature arrives, these puppies will fill your house with pleasant range at level 5 or 6. At the time of this writing, only one speaker can play audio at a time.
I love the idea of having a full fledged Alexa/Echo device hardwire mounted as my smoke detector especially since they legally have to be there. Installation is a breeze and it comes with multiple alarm power adapter and the option to directly wire it. These are premium devices and are only limited by their firmware as all issues can be addressed with said firmware updates. (Unless you want to blast the speaker at 10)
I will update my review as First Alert pushes the Onelink Safe & Sound to it's full potential.

I would give this product 4.5 stars.
1. The sound quality is similar to an echo dot 3rd gen. Pretty pleased with it honestly.
2. Now in every room I can dim the lights, or turn on and off TVs using Alexa and don’t have to have an echo in each room or open my app.
3. The light feature is completely customizable to whatever color and brightness you want.
4. You can stop false alarms very easily or have it “ignore” things if you’re cooking bacon for example.
5. ONLY COMPLAINT- they don’t all link together for a “multi room audio” function. I’m not sure if that is coming in an update but if it did... 5/5 stars all day.
You’re getting Alexa, a speaker, and a smart detector that you can control and don’t have to push buttons or fan smoke away to get it to stop.
Idk what people are complaining about. The product does everything it says it does, and performs these tasks with ease.
Sure the app is not amazing, but after initial setup I’ve never used it once. There is no need to.
