When the Onelink smoke detector talks to you, you know you need to take things seriously. This carbon-monoxide and smoke detector actually talks to let you know the kind of danger that it has detected, along with its location. And you can wirelessly link upto 16 such detectors at various points within your home – a combination that would be pretty hard to ignore during an emergency because if one of them goes off (with a powerful 85dB alarm), all the others would join in.

Imagine a situation when there is a fire in a room while you are in a distant part of the house. A conventional smoke detector would sound an alarm, but having to figure out the location of the alarm and smoke could take away precious time. This is perhaps where the voice functionality of the Onelink detector could be life-saving. Buy the Onelink detector from SmartHome for around $100.
