I've had the system installed several years and have had several false alarms with the smoke.
The fire department showed up 2 times and had to get a neighbor out of bed at 2am to check the house the other.
I've called and had replacements sent and always the same , I just can't rely on it.
I clean and test them monthly and I've come up with a solution that one really shouldn't have to do.
I've bought a seconded smoke detector to mount close to the original thinking that if only one goes off it's a false and if both respond maybe a fire.
After talking with SS they agreed to give me 2 months free monitoring as they can't give away devices .
So while not perfect I'm going to try this method.Its funny none of my other 5 smoke detectors ever false just the SS detector.
