After repeatedly tripping the audible siren, not once did the app ever indicate there was a problem via a push notification or a message within the app itself, and none of the incidents showed up in the alarm activity history. Once the alarm activated-with both siren and voice alerts announcing the type of danger and its location-I waited for the app to kick in and alert my phone. I tested the Onelink Smoke + Carbon Monoxide Alarm both with a simulated fire and by pushing the Test button on the alarm itself. In my testing, that didn’t work as advertised. Within the app, you can test the alarm and check its recent history-at least in theory.
#FIRST ALERT SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM REVIEWS CODE#
The Onelink alarm is a HomeKit product, and setup proceeds along the straightforward lines of installing the Onelink app and then scanning a code on the side of the device and waiting for it to connect to your network. Christopher NullĮven with my alarm blaring, First Alert’s app told me “everything is OK.” First Alert says this battery is rated to last five years, but replacement packs are not yet available, and First Alert declined to say how much they’ll cost when they are. Note that the battery-powered model (reviewed here) is powered not by standard AAs but rather by a three-cell lithium power pack.
The Onelink Smoke + Carbon Monoxide Alarm is available in both battery-powered and hardwired versions, but the only notable difference between the two is that the latter includes a user-customizable nightlight.
First Alert says this lithium battery pack will last five years, but the company can’t tell us how much it will cost to replace.
