Old smoke detectors had this feature. You just take the battery out. I have to do this to one of mine every time we use our broiler. I'm sure I'm not the only person who ever removed a battery an forgot to replace it for awhile. At least the nest feature is temporary.
- deveac 13y ago>Old smoke detectors had this feature. You just take the battery out. The feature was having the detector unknowingly disabled. A better analogy would be the batteries in your smoke detector running out.
- johnward 13y agoMy understanding is that it's temporarily disabled by the wave. Is that not the case? It's still an issue if a fire starts and you aren't alerted for 20 minutes but I'm curious.
- IanCal 13y agoI've said this elsewhere, but I don't think I've ever had a smoke alarm that couldn't be turned off by pressing the test button.
