How does someone utilize the ONELINK with 4 alarms? a 2 pack isn't enough for my house.

You can link many of them! I have 6, two on each floor. Two of them are fire+co, the other 4 are just fire. Works fine

Simply purchase 2 2-packs. You pair them when you set them up, and I'm not aware of any limit in pairing them. I have 6 connected together.

You can connect as many Onelinks as you like. I currently have about eight connected without any problems. You need a unit for each zone. I think that's what you are asking.

Buy the 4 pack or follow the directions they are easy to set up because you set the location for eac unit

Just link them up and set the voice ID per the directions (so you know where the issue is if an alarm triggers). I have 8 smoke alarms and 3 CO/smoke alarms in my house. I did have problems with one of the CO alarms, but this turned out to be a defective unit, it was triggering false alarms on the system on very humid fall days when we had the windows open and there was fog outside. I've had these in play for almost 2 years now, and they've been working fine.

all sensors sound the alarm on all speakers. So if you have 2 sensors you can just use a single alarm speaker.

one alarm. thsi was answered already. And don't lose the instructions because you will never figure out how to set the time.

Our house sounds similar to yours. We only needed one to put in our laundry/storage/1/2 bath room on the lowest level of house. Our fire department comes every few years and replaces the other alarms we have. One is in the dining room above the entrance to the kitchen. The other is in the stairwelll going to our bedrooms. The one near the kitchen goes off if we are cooking something that really smokes. That's ok, though. I like the fact that it's doing its job. Hope this helps you make a decision.

Usually comes as a single unit. I first bought 1, then I bought 4. Just to make sure when I wanted a replacement, I'd have one. Ha ha ha I have had mine one running for over 4 years. I get numerous questions as to what kind of alarm I have.

I tried to do the same thing with the same app and found it to be unreliable. Sometimes nothing would happen when the alarm was scheduled to activate. It may be the tune in app itself, as I've had some startup issues with it.

Thanks for your interests. If you just want it for alarm purpose, you do not need to connect it to a phone line or internet. When you want it to call, you need to connect it to a phone line.Hope the information helps you a lot.

I'm pretty certain this only works as a second control. But since most of the DYI alarms are keypad + system all in one box, it allows me to hide the main one in a closet and just use the touchpad near the door.

I don't have this alarm but it should be able to do what you ask. Alarm just has to be programmed for those features to work. Just know that extra parts may be required.

I dont have a door/window alarm, but I dont see why you have to buy a separate receiver. You have up to four zones, so you would just set up the door or window detector to anyone of those you have open.

I think think would work without buying another one if you're alone it would work... Set alarm A to the weekdays and set alarm B to a different weekend time why wouldn't that work.

I do not see why you couldn't use two units. The downside would be that if you receive an alarm, you will not know which unit is calling you, unless you program each unit to call different phone numbers.

I don't know since I am installing it in a travel trailer and I have only used a small part of the alarm.

I have installed two of these systems in the past two years, one at my brother's house and one at his place of business. The business is a large shop and the office on the second floor is a distance away from the entry door. We have infared sensors and door sensors. I installed another at his house and we have 3 infared sensors and two door sensors and a remote external alarm and are all quite far away from the control. Everything seems to be running okay for now. Good luck!

I don't use hordes of them, but when I light a few they don't false alarm. I agree that if you put one directly under the alarm it may go off. Overall, I've been very happy with the First Alert family of alarms. I replaced all of the builder's grade alarms in my house the fall with various flavors of these (single sensor, dual sensor, smoke + CO) and have been quite happy.

I agree that the two freeze alarms on the same phone line will work but I wonder how you would call each freeze alarm to check on each alarm's status.

If you are going through Alarm.com or one of their dealers you should be able to. That's what I have and it works great.
