„Smoke detectors don‘t lie“ might be true, but not everything they detect is always smoke. In my building all flats have one. It gets triggered by workers cutting a hole in the wall or people cooking. We covered it when we had the fog machine for Halloween because that surely would have triggered it. Almost every time it went off it was a false alarm. Which is also the second thing. It should never be silent. If it detects it needs to report audible and someone should come to your room. What happens if there is smoke because of a fire? We always had FD coming to our flat. Algorithmic might sound smart but in the end it might just a boy that cries wolf.
