+1 for Onelink. I am a sound sleeper, and our family sleeps with our
doors closed. If a fire starts on the other side of the house, the
Onelink mesh will sound the alarm all over the house, including in my
room loud enough to wake me. I doubt that a conventional alarm in my
kids rooms would wake me, and they're still too small to know to go wake
daddy.
The downside is that when the "low battery" message goes off on one, it
goes off in all, even at 4am. :-( At least it only does the voice
message through the mesh network once, and then chirps only the low
battery device once every couple of minutes.
