ONELINK® Alarm FAQs
What is a mesh network and how does it work?
First Alert�® ONELINK�® smoke alarms operate on a "mesh network" to integrate smoke alarms for better safety and response in an emergency. All of the First Alert�® ONELINK�® alarms send, receive and resend the initiating alarm�s signal. Why is this important? Let�s say the signal is blocked from reaching the master bedroom alarm either by distance or some obstruction in the home. With First Alert�® ONELINK�®, the mesh network of alarms re-routes and resends the signal via the other alarms, providing a greater chance all alarms will receive the signal. The "mesh network" is a more reliable means of wireless communication.
