Latest News and Updates July 2019FirstAlert has launched the OneLink Secure, a mesh router that can link to its OneLink Safe and Sound smoke detector, and send out warning messages to devices on the network with screens such as smartphones, tablets, and TVs in the event of a smoke, fire, or carbon monoxide condition. The tri band 802. 11ac OneLink Secure Connect base station is $149, and should cover up to 2,500 square feet. A bundle with the base station and two satellites costs $329. It's not a smoke detector, but the Airthings Wave Plus $269 can detect Radon, CO2, TVOCs, humidity, temperature and air pressure.

An LED ring on the bottom of the alarm also changes color, giving you a visual cue. The Nest Protect comes in both wired and battery powered versions.
