That's if things go well. But when they don't, smoke detectors are incredibly frustrating. They'll beep randomly and you won't know which one is doing it. They'll start blinking red and you won't know why. Or they'll go off in the middle of the night for no good reason. Maybe I just need higher quality smoke detectors.

I have 2 features that I'd love to see in a smoke detector:

1) notify me when the battery level is low so I don't have to think about it 2) allow me to snooze the smoke detector for 15 / 30 minutes if I end up smoking up the kitchen
