temperature, low and high carbon monoxide levels, and humidity at

notifies users of any changes. Consumers will be able to simply ask
Alexa, “What is the temperature in the living room?” or “What is
the humidity in the baby’s room?” and Alexa will answer.

Ideal for homes and small businesses, this smart safe combine’s
best-in-class security with smart home functionality. Users can
unlock the safe with their mobile device using the Onelink Home app
with Touch ID and passcode verification. It also features tamper
and motion detection, sending push notifications to the user if a
disturbance or tampering is detected by the safe. The Onelink Safe

unexpected emergencies, and features exclusive Bolt Down Technology
that allows the safe to be bolted directly to the floor, without
compromising fire and water protection.
- Onelink by First Alert Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi and enables users to control their heating and cooling
directly from their mobile devices via the app. It works seamlessly
with Google Home and Amazon Alexa, allowing users to integrate with
the smart home platform of their choice. With these virtual
assistants, users do not even need to touch their phones – simply
speak aloud and with hands-free commands to adjust or inquire about
the temperature.
“We are working with Amazon, Apple and Google to continue to
enhance the Onelink experience across the portfolio, providing
unparalleled functionality while prioritizing simplicity for
users,” Russo said. “As the leader in the DIY home safety industry,
