First Alert launches HomeKit support for Onelink Safe and Sound carbon monoxide and smoke alarm. With its built-in speakerphone, Onelink Safe and Sound can now integrate with iPhone, iPad or Mac using AirPlay 2 playback.
The update is under development for all Onelink Safe and Sound owners. You can choose your device as a playback option through media applications on iOS, such as Apple Music. The company explains:
AirPlay 2 enables a multi-camera wireless audio system, creating an easy way to stream music anywhere in your home to different iOS devices and other devices compatible with AirPlay 2. Users can select where to play music in the Control Center on an iOS device or just ask Siri to play music in a certain room or in the whole house.
Onelink Safe & Sound offers consumers a great sound experience using the ceiling placement as a natural acoustic background. After installation, users can play or stream their music from a variety of services, including Apple Music, Spotify, or Pandora.
The first Safe and Sound Alert has already accepted HomeKit integration. This allows users to view its status in the Home application and receive push notifications if smoke or carbon monoxide is detected. With AirPlay 2 support, your device can also link to HomeKit-compatible scenes and start playing music.
Safe and sound First Alert has become popular due to its three-way design, which packs a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector along with a built-in speaker. The addition of AirPlay 2 fulfills the promise of First Alert in 2018 and makes Safe and Sound even more appealing to Apple users.
Onelink Safe and Sound is available on Amazon for less than $ 200. The Onelink app for iOS is a free download on the App Store. Read the full press release here.
