security alarms for homes
Wifi controlled lights allow you to turn the lights on and off and depending on the type you choose you can also dim, change colour and even flash in time to your music, great for parties!Another great element of
smart homes is the added security and safety, one way this can be achieved is by using smart smoke detectors. These work in the same way as a ‘dumb’ smoke detector however they have the added functionality of an app that can alert you in you are not home, great if you have pets and want to keep an eye on your house. Some smart smoke alarms, for example Nest Protect, have added functionality like voice guidance that talks to you rather than just beeping annoyingly. The other important element for security is smart home cameras. Smart Home Cameras boast exciting features like human detection with some even being able to learn faces and tell if it is an intruder on the normal cleaner. Other tech makes your life easier, for example smart doorbells like Ring
video doorbell – allowing you to answer the door from where ever you are and asking the delivery man to leave it in a safe place of with a neighbour.

Unlike SkyBell and Ring, it doesn't have an adapter or add on for digital chime functionality. As with most
video doorbells, this one has a built in battery, but it can't run off the battery for very long, less than a day in our experience. August covers this product with a one year warranty.

Our favorite feature was the pre recorded responses that inform visitors to leave a package, wait for someone to come to the door or saying no one is available.
monitored alarms
The First Alert Onelink Safe and Sound uses a photoelectric sensor for detecting smouldering fires and an electrochemical sensor for detecting CO emissions so it uses minimal power to accurately detect any change in the concentration of CO from the atmosphere. In case the sensors detect rising
levels of smoke or CO, the LED light will flash a red colour and you’ll hear a voice telling you the location of the detector in case you have more than one devices inter connected. The alerts can be silenced by pushing the Test/Silence button for a minimum of 3 5 seconds or using the app, but be aware that this is only temporary and you will need to identify and fix the problem until the alarm will sound again you get 15 minutes in case the sensor detects smoke and 4 minutes when the sensor detects high levels of CO. The Onelink Safe and Sound smoke/CO alarm can interconnect
with other Onelink alarms, so, in case there’s a fire in the kitchen, all the devices will sound the alarm and will tell you the room where the emergency originates. Furthermore, OneLink Safe and Sound works well with the Apple HomeKit home automation hub compatible with the Apple Home app and it has embedded Amazon Alexa Voice Services I’ve got to admit that one of the reasons why this device caught my attention is the integration with Alexa, especially after seeing it working with Linksys Velop and Netgear Orbi. The Onelink Safe and Sound smoke detector also comes with a mobile app which allows you to choose the location of the device, interact with Siri, see the status of the sensors, adjust the NighLight, mute/unmute the microphone, play music and more.
