What aggravates me most about the OneLink by First Alert Wi-Fi Smoke + CO Alarm is what it could have been. This is HomeKit's answer to the Nest Protect , and with its killer list of features, I honestly thought it had a good chance to become the smart...
First Alert shows off its hardware pedigree with the OneLink by First Alert Wi-Fi Smoke and CO Alarm. The device looks good, and responds to smoke quickly and consistently.
The HomeKit integration doesn't add anything and the unresponsive app takes quite a bit away from this supposedly smart smoke detector. Both the push notifications and the in-app silencing feature are too slow to be useful.
You'll pay a premium for this smart alarm that just isn't very smart. HomeKit's first smoke detector is one to avoid until it gets a few major software updates.
