bananabob :tinoflag:<p>6.00AM - Woke up in a fit of panic a smoke alarm blaring out at . Rushed around the house bare skinned, in the dark, trying to find which alarm of the six installed it was. There was no fire, there was no smoke. Then couldn't get back to sleep for ages with all that adrenaline coursing through my body.</p><p>Why do these alarms always cause an issue at night. They never seem to go off for no reason during the day?</p><p>Certainly not good for an aging boomer like me.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/SmokeAlarm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SmokeAlarm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/OldPeopleOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OldPeopleOfMastodon</span></a></p>
Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmar<p>Smoke alarm (optical) from <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/AliExpress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AliExpress</span></a> failed the smoke test. It feeps loudly when pushing the test button, but when held into some nice fire smoke, it does exactly nothing, despite patience.</p><p>So always test with a real life scenario. The test button only checks the batteries and the beeper are working, not the actual sensor.</p><p>I sent them a nice video and expect a refund. This isn't because it's from China, the same can happen with any.</p><p><a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/SmokeAlarm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SmokeAlarm</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/FireAlarm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FireAlarm</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Detector" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Detector</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Safety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Safety</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Fire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fire</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DIY</span></a></p>
