      My smoke detectors have electrical hookup AND battery. But beep at 3am. Youtube has solutions—and many comments from fellow 3am sufferers.pic.twitter.com/zjtmXBrFDQ

      Common problem: overdo warnings —why beep every min at first sign of low battery when there's electricity?—, then people disconnect it all.

          Anyway, it's like legalese or overly complicated infosec instructions. Usually ends up with people worse off than with judicious warnings.

          Commercial flying exemplary in managing warnings to pilots. Also? This plane flew for two more hours, landed safely.https://twitter.com/jacobsoboroff/status/914228840708186112 …

          I’m pretty sure your “smoke detectors” report to Langley

          Why bother with my "smoke detectors." Probably the milk I buy comes bundled with Alexa.

          I was just thinking about this this morning when one of mine started beeping. It's a horrible UX.

          The smoke detectors are loss leaders for battery sales. It’s like your cheap printer and expensive ink combined with building code lobbying.

          Mine has electric hookup and batteries. Still beeps every 60s when battery dies. Also too low of smoke threshold-proper cooking sets it off

          Thus it usually spends a week at a time with a grocery bag over it.

          Our house was brimming with smoke detectors when we moved in and because of 3AM beeps I disconnected about half. Mostly to find the culprit!

          I’d like to replace w/ smart detectors that only beep low battery during daytime - if that is a thing that exists. Keep meaning to look.
