I just got a Simplisafe system and included smoke detectors. I probably should have thought it out better but I had one old detector that was malfunctioning so I thought why not buy these?
I originally intended to not have monitoring but decided I want to be able to remotely access the dashboard and cameras. I asked customer support to opt me out of police and fire dispatch but they said you can't opt out of fire dispatch. I know it sounds crazy to not want fire response, but I've read a lot of comments in this forum about false smoke detector alarms. Many said they got a fire department response despite telling dispatch there was no fire. I'm a retired firefighter. My home is very fire safe. My smoke alarms aren't likely to trigger unless I overcook some salmon or they malfunction. I have a tiny, open layout cabin so moving the detector further from the kitchen isn't an alternative. I have multiple detectors because of firefighter overkill syndrome. I primarily count on them to wake me up should there be a fire while I'm sleeping.
Sorry to be so wordy. My question is whether anybody is using simplisafe smoke detectors in a standalone fashion and does removing them from the dashboard make them standalone?

My smoke alarm is chirping. Can I turn it off until I replace the battery? If so, how do I do this?
