First Alert Onelink Smart Smoke Carbon Monoxide Alarm review: This alarm doesn't work entirely as advertised

When I reviewed First Alert's Onelink Safe & Sound smoke alarm in mid-2018, I found it to be a powerful entry in the smart smoke detector market. Its inclusion of Bluetooth and an Amazon Echo-compatible smart speaker set it apart from every smoke and carbon-monoxide detector on the market. But its $199 price tag also made it far and away the most expensive device of its type on the market--and that price hasn't budged since its release. Enter the Onelink Smoke Carbon Monoxide Alarm, which lowers the cost of the original product by stripping out its most compelling features: The smart speaker and Bluetooth. Like other products in this category, the Onelink Smoke Carbon Monoxide Alarm is designed to extend the capabilities of a smoke detector by linking it with your smartphone. It still functions by firing off a (rather loud) local siren whenever smoke or CO are detected, but it also (supposedly) sends push alerts to your mobile device, a feature that is most helpful for times when you aren't at home but still want the peace of mind that it's not on fire.
