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?

If you need a #smokedetector #firealarm

DO NOT buy those X-SENSE devices.

1. The do not last as long as they promise
2. If the break you won't get any help
3. If you need replacement, they can not offer replacement that will fit into the same frame you mounted to your wall.

My neighbor seems to have a smoke detector attached to their shed which is close enough to the window where I'm working that the intermittent, high-pitched chirps signifying that the batteries need to be replaced are taking chunks out of my brain matter, one chirp at a time.
I shall soon go mad enough walk over there, knock on their door, and politely let them know about their smoke detector... and that I am dead and quite insane.
