I've never had a smoke detector that didn't eventually throw false alarms in the middle of the night, activating all of the detectors in the chain and making it impossible to find the one that triggered the alarm.
When you go to the local Lowes-Depot, your only choices are among a bunch of crummy discount options that are all as poor as the one you've got.
I'd pay 5x-10x more for a detector of a higher quality with a little built in intelligence. Like was it the ionization chamber or the photoelectric section that triggered the alarm? Which freakin unit triggered the alarm, and maybe a SMS battery warning a week before the damn thing commences to chirp like a mutant cricket all night because its battery is low.
They're invisible 99% of the time, but the 1% they're not, they're a damn nuisance. Fix that and I'm sold.
