Product Reviews
This item works very well just what I needed so that I get notified of an alarm at my house when I'm not home. This was an upgrade to the system I have in place without replacing every smoke head I have,
The product came with all the hardware needed for the install. Enrolling it into HomeKit was easy if you strictly follow the instructions. I ran into some trouble and had to reset and start over.
These seem to be very good units, and make a great upgrade from my old ones.
Very impressed with the Onelink, the install, setup and configuration was very quick and easy
The directions were very clear, the installation was simple, the setup and configuration was straightforward. I specifically like the ability to know which alarm was the source of the detection and the remote monitoring when I'm out of the house.
Purchased the One Link hardwired detector to compliment our Home Kit accessories. Installation was simple as we current have First Alert hardwired detectors - The quick connect harness from our previous detector fit this system. Home Kit setup took longer than installation, but I expected technology issues….Here's to hoping that the detector sits mounted to the ceiling and never needs to be active!!
Easy to install and set up!
Product is very install to install. We choose it for the sleek and minimal profile.
installation was pretty easy, hard part was navigating my step ladder into and out of the house. You can launch the OneLink Home app from within AppleHomekit to see detectors status smoke and carbon monoxide and battery status, and you can initiate alarm test from your cellphone. I haven't had a fire yet or a CO alert when not home or even if I was home, but presume those notifications will be delivered to my iPhone. Now if they would only make a OneLink explosive gas detector for natural gas, LP leaks...
All the parts I needed to hard-wire this unit to my house were in the box. After install using the app to set up WiFi and alerts was just as simple. Setup was easy.
This was a warranty replacement for a dead on arrival battery. Upon installation the original unit started complaining that the battery was low. A quick call to customer service got this unit. Out of eight units this was the only one with an immediate problem.
This was a follow on purchase to a pair of Onelink smoke & CO alarms. The first pair have been working well for a month so I bought more. Setup was still a bit troubled, but resetting a couple of times got me through it again.
Despite some confusion, probably stemming from the VPN configuration on my iPhone, the setup of two hardwired alarms was straightforward.
I love that Onelink works with HomeKit, Apple's smart home platform. I've been able to set up many automations thus far. Setup was somewhat easy. It took several tries to get it to pair. I would also like the nightlight feature to include a motion sensor. So it turns on when you walk by and then turns off when you walk past it.
Easy installation and online management.
The product is great, but can be a little confusing setting up. I would still recommend this product.
It worked as advertised, was easy to install and easy to add to Apple Homekit. It is interconnected with 5 BRK # 9120LBLs
I didn't have much of a problem with installation. I didn't get it to connect to wifi the first time, but that may have been my fault.
I replaced my 3 existing hardwired smoke detectors since they were 14 years old with these. Thanks to the short adapter cables provided with the units, it was an easy plug-n-play install that took just a few minutes. I recommend wearing ear protection for initial setup and testing. I also waited until my wife had taken the kids for a walk. All 3 units worked as smoke/CO detectors when first powered up. One unit failed to connect to HomeKit on the first try, but after resetting the alarm 5 presses of the button it connected on the second try. I like the way the all the alarms announce the issue smoke/CO and its location. I also like the adjustable brightness of the nightlight, eliminating the need to install a nightlight in a dark hallway. In the Home app you'll see each unit as two sensors one smoke, one CO in whatever room you assigned each. I may decide to move them into their own HomeKit room to reduce the clutter of some of my fuller room displays. Note, the alarm location announcement is chosen independently of the assigned HomeKit room.
Very easy to install and works great.. Love the nightlight and Home kit functionality..

Minimum coverage for Smoke Alarms, as recommended by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom (See "Regulatory Information For Smoke Alarms" for details on the NFPA recommendations). For CO Alarms, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your home.
When one Onelink alarm goes off all wirelessly connected Onelink alarms will sound as one. The Onelink alarm will also talk to you, letting you know what type of danger (smoke or CO) and where the danger is located.
