what even are smoke detectors

honestly

what even the fuck are they at this point

change sets change types change brands clean them fucking _weekly_ doesn't matter:

false alarms in the middle of the night

these new ones were extra expensive because i wanted ones that would tell which set them off (because they're hardwire networked, one goes off they all go off) and once again one claims responsibility saying "yep I sure did it it was me I saw smoke"

there was no smoke

why

Texas men accused of stealing from Maryland Heights business https://www.byteseu.com/1653777/ #4 #arrested #business #FirstAlert #Fox2No #kmov #ksdk #ktvi #men #News4 #now #texas #WatchingOutForYou

The answer to my mostly rhetorical questions above is, obviously, that #FirstAlert wants to sell cheaper alarms that are less reliable and generate more false alarms without explicitly admitting they're doing that, because who would buy a product which says in its marketing that it generates false alarms? They hide this information on purpose. Which is shitty.

So, I wrote to #FirstAlert about all the false alarms with these smoke detectors, and they were like, "Yeah, that model does have some false alarms, how about we replace them with this other model that doesn't have this problem."
I sent them this in response:
#TechIsShitDispatch

I am wide awake in the middle of the night after <3hrs sleep because one of our smoke detectors went off for no reason.
We replaced all 7 detectors several months ago.
Since then, 3 of the new ones have alerted for no reason several times each. The first one, we got First Alert to replace as defective. Then the replacement did the same thing. Now a third one is doing it.
I think it's time for a "Yo, your smoke detectors are defective" letter to First Alert. *sigh*
