Was just rudely shocked awake at 2:30am by a screaming smoke detector. No actual smoke, just a “smoke sensor error”, whatever that is. Certainly the manufacturer’s web site has no information about it. (They do have some kind of chatbot for search but you can’t use it without providing your contact info and agreeing to a huge terms and conditions, so no.)
Over the course of my life I’ve been woken up a number of times by smoke and carbon monoxide detectors with low batteries, or other non-emergencies. I have never once had one go off during waking hours. Since I’m awake 2/3 of the time, this is highly improbable. Really makes me wonder if there is a light sensor on the unit and a psychopathic hardware engineer involved.

Okay, hive mind…I need a little help! We need to replace our hardwired Nest Protects (smart smoke & CO detectors) in September because Google, in their infinite wisdom 🙄, decided to discontinue this truly top notch product just months before ours turn 10 and stop working. Aaargh!
Does anyone have a hardwired smoke/CO detector — smart or otherwise — that they would recommend?

athlete has a beeping smoke detector

I was just woken up by a smoke alarm going off in my house very briefly, maybe three seconds / beeps. It stopped before I could pinpoint the exact smoke detector that had been triggered. Might have been on top floor?
I walked through the whole house and looked & smelled in every room, and found no sign of smoke. I also checked outside on both sides of the house, since the windows were open, and didn't notice anything weird outdoors.
What the fuck? What do I do now?

US CPSC Recall: HZHVAN combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The detectors can fail to activate, posing a risk that consumers will not be alerted to a fire. https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2024/CHZHVAN-Combination-Smoke-and-Carbon-Monoxide-Detectors-Recalled-Due-to-Failure-to-Alert-to-Fire-Sold-Exclusively-on-Amazon-com-by-Haikouhuidishangmaoyouxiangongsi #recall #smokedetector

snappy response

Just completed - not installing - but actually adding the #ZWave combo #smokedetector /CO2 detector (yes, @TechConnectify: Photocell) to my Z-Wave controller, instead of just relying on the sound of it to alert me.
Now they all text me & my husband if there's a fire - in case we're out of the house.
We have a dog. This way we can call a neighbor to get my pup out of the house should the need arise.
Don't know why I didn't do this before. Thanks for cajoling me to test, @TechConnectify! ❤️

Well, fuck. Anyone know how to prevent false alarms from smoke detectors? I live in a new-ish house (5 years old) and it has interconnected smoke detectors in all rooms. We were woken up at 5 am by them going off, for absolutely no reason. It really freaks out the kids!
Every one of them has triggered at least once since we have lived here, evidenced by the 'ready' light blinking red instead of green.

Can somebody suggest a pair of #smokedetector that are linked so that both start an alarm if one of them detects a potential #fire?
Furthermore, I'd like to integrate them to my local #HomeAssistant setup on top: handle alarm notifications additional to the local alarm.

Happy Friday the 13th.
Though I'm not superstitious, I do sometimes think of horrible things that can happen to people.
Today seems as good as any to check to see if you have a working #smokedetector and #carbonmonoxide detector.

@wheatnoil I have gas in the motorhome. When that sucker goes off, it wakes the dead. Unfortunately, being an RV, it needs batteries since I'm not always plugged in to shore power. I'll have to check all the alarms tomorrow.

I am not sure if I mentioned a smoke detector in my apartment going nuts. There was a 5 time signal and then silence. This happened to another apartment (or all of them) now once a day. Guess it was the central one which is connected to all apartments.
I only waited this shrieking sound happening in the middle of the night.
Guess what? It was 4:25 a.m.
I notified my landlord.
