"As smart home capabilities continue to push the boundaries of what's
possible, Onelink is right there - offering simple, integrated solutions
that take full advantage of the best that today's connected home
technology offers," said Tom Russo, vice president of marketing and new
product development at First Alert, the most trusted brand in home
safety*. "The exciting innovations we're showcasing at this year's CES
open up a world of possibilities to the connected home space and pave
the way for future additions to the Onelink portfolio."
Echoing the brand promise of being "always connected, always protected,"
First Alert will introduce and demonstrate the following products at CES
2019:
-
Onelink Surround Wi-Fi System - The Onelink Surround
Wi-Fi solution delivers faster, stronger, more reliable Wi-Fi
throughout the home. True to First Alert's legacy of home safety and
protection, the system places a premium on security by creating a
closed, private network to help detect and prevent cyber-threats and
hacks. The technology scans every outbound connection from the network
to analyze URLs and IP addresses to detect malicious traffic and
infected machines. Users are notified of any potentially suspect
activity and, if restricted settings are enabled, it can block any
questionable content. The system also gives uses greater control over
their Wi-Fi network usage. With one tap of the Onelink Home app, they
can pause the internet, filter content or set rules such as time
limits and bedtime. With an emergency override feature, it will also
send emergency notices to screens connected to the home's network. The
Onelink Surround Wi-Fi system includes two ceiling-mount Onelink Safe
& Sound alarm units that are hardwired and one base node, which should
be connected to the home's router. It is also offered as a stand-alone
system, with multiple nodes and both tri- and dual-band options to
suit the needs of any tech consumer.
-
Onelink Bell - Look who's at the front door - your
Onelink alarm now has company. As the latest addition to the Onelink
portfolio, the new Onelink Bell doorbell system brings homeowners even
more control over monitoring their house. With premium features like
1080 HD live video, motion detection alerts at home or away, two-way
audio and more, this new smart doorbell solution offers an added level
of security outside of the home. Unlike other smart doorbells on the
market, the Onelink Bell wirelessly interconnects with other Onelink
devices in the home, automatically activating other existing Onelink
alarms to allow the doorbell to be heard throughout the home. The
Onelin Bell is also compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google (News - Alert)
Assistant, enabling users to ask the virtual assistant what's going on
outside and have it report back. All of these capabilities are packed
into a modern, elegantly designed doorbell that blends in well with
any style home.
-
Onelink Safe & Sound - The Onelink Safe & Sound just keeps
getting better, with expanded features like Alexa Calling and
Messaging and, soon, Apple (News - Alert) Airplay 2 capabilities. First Alert will be
previewing a new model, which includes its exclusive Wi-Fi mesh
technology built into the alarm, delivering expanded and stronger
Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the home while eliminating the need for
additional devices. The Onelink Safe & Sound goes where no smoke or
carbon monoxide (CO) alarm has gone before, delivering First Alert's
trusted smoke and CO protection, along with a superior home speaker
and built-in virtual assistant. True to its name, the device is
specifically designed for ceiling installation for a great sound
experience via the natural acoustic backdrop, filling the room with
immersive sound. Users can simply ask the alarm's virtual assistant to
play music, hear the news, check the weather and control other smart
home devices. The Onelink Safe & Sound is available with either Amazon
Alexa or Google Assistant built in - and is compatible with Apple
HomeKit - allowing users to select the appropriate alarm based on
their preferred virtual assistant platform. In addition, the Onelink
Safe & Sound is fully compatible and easily integrated with other
products in the Onelink portfolio, such as the new Onelink Bell.
-
Onelink Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm - Bringing convenient
connectivity and peace of mind to every household, the new Onelink
Smoke & CO Alarm by First Alert is the ideal supplemental alarm for
homes that already rely on the Alexa- or Google Assistant-enabled
Onelink Safe & Sound for both entertainment and safety. This
intuitive, easy-to-install, two-in-one alarm protects against the
threats of smoke and CO. If smoke or CO is detected in the home, the
alarm will notify users via exclusive voice and location technology.
In the event of a smoke or CO emergency, the alarm will also send an
alert to the user's smartphone. Additional smart features include
wireless interconnection and compatibility with Apple HomeKit, Google
Assistant actions and Alexa skills.
"The Onelink product introductions build solidly on the Onelink Safe &
Sound and leverage its multi-faceted functionality and installation
points in the home to deliver useful and smart integrations for the 21st
century homeowner," said Russo. "Whether it's the life-safety smoke and
carbon monoxide detection or Internet security function of the Onelink
Surround Wi-Fi System, Onelink has you covered."
