Is this the perfect alarm system for Apple Music fans?
First Alert is in the process of introducing HomeKit support to its ceiling-mounted Onelink Safe and Sound smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarm systems.
An alarm that thinks its a music system
Another handy improvement that makes these systems particularly cool is their inclusion of built-in speakers, which now let you stream music through them from an Apple device using AirPlay 2.
The idea here is that you get both an alarm system and a multi-room audio system capable of playing Apple Music, Pandora and other streaming services.
HomeKit integration means you can check the status of your system in the Home app and will receive notifications of smoke or carbon monoxide is detected.
The Onelink Safe and Sound alarm costs under $200 at Amazon (affiliate link). The companion app is a free App Store download.
