But for those times when it's not warning you of fire, you can use it for a great
many other things. With Amazon's Alexa and a very competent 10 watt speaker, the Safe and
Sound can play music, listen to audiobooks, and access Alexa's thousands of skills. It's also compatible with Apple's HomeKit. However, the Safe and Sound requires a hard wired connection, and we found that the location of these connections doesn't make it the most conducive for using all of Alexa's capabilities. Of the 200 odd reviews on Amazon where it has an average rating of 3. 3 stars, the most positive commenters noted its ease of installation, as well as the fact that they could stream music, and that the alarm's nightlight was bright. Chief complaints were that it doesn't support all of Alexa's features such as Drop in, and that it's expensive. "The speaker is okay, definitely not audiophile level, but capable, installation was easy, and the light that shows it's listening or received a notification also doubles as a night light," wrote a Vine reviewer. Another owner noted that the mounting bracket is nonstandard, and it took a lot of effort to attach the smoke detector. "Alexa integration is pretty good," she write, "but you can't change the wake word, which is a problem if you have two installed within earshot of each other.

The First Alert Onelink Safe and Sound uses a photoelectric sensor for detecting smouldering fires and an electrochemical sensor for detecting CO emissions so it uses minimal power to accurately detect any change in the concentration of CO from the atmosphere. In case the sensors detect rising levels of smoke or CO, the LED light will flash a red colour and you’ll hear a voice telling you the location of the detector in case you have more than one devices inter connected. The alerts can be silenced by pushing the Test/Silence
button for a minimum of 3 5 seconds or using the app, but be aware that this is only temporary and you will need to identify and fix the problem until the alarm will sound again you get 15 minutes in case the sensor detects smoke and 4 minutes when the sensor detects high levels of CO. The Onelink Safe and Sound smoke/CO alarm can interconnect with other Onelink alarms, so, in case there’s a fire in the kitchen, all the devices will sound the alarm and will tell you the room where the emergency originates. Furthermore, OneLink Safe and Sound works well with the Apple HomeKit home automation hub compatible with the Apple Home app and it has embedded Amazon Alexa Voice Services I’ve got to admit that one of the reasons why this device caught my attention is the integration with Alexa, especially after seeing it working with Linksys Velop and Netgear Orbi. The Onelink Safe and Sound smoke detector also comes with a mobile app which allows you to
choose the location of the device, interact with Siri, see the status of the sensors, adjust the NighLight, mute/unmute the microphone, play music and more.
