Pulled the battery from my kitchen fire alarm after it went off three nights in a row while making dinner. Nothing was smoking or even boiling, much less actually burning. It's an electric stove to boot.
- takeda 12y agoYou are contradicting yourself, if the alarm was triggered when making dinner then it must have generated a smoke, how would the detector even know you are making dinner. With the nest, the alarm turned by itself for no reason, you don't cook in bedroom, he even said that he got notification when he was at work. Two different reasons, your situation was that smoke alarm was too sensitive, perhaps you placed it close to the oven, here the alarm fires for no reason, and it is not the kitchen one, but bedroom one where normally you don't have smoke.
- dredmorbius 12y agoThe alarm was triggering during a non-alarm situation. That is, in fact, a false alarm. The behavior described by cowsandmilk is highly predictable: provide false alarms, and people will almost always disable or bypass the alarm.
