Hi all,
I've had a number of smoke detectors go bad lately and basically drive the neighbours mad in the middle of the night (commercial premises in the middle of a residential neighbourhood) requiring an emergency electrician call out to disconnect. The detectors just keep going off despite pressing the button repeatedly with a broom, and some are just too high up (5m+) to reach with a broom.
I'm looking for an option that is internet connected and will allow me to turn the alarm off remotely or via an app if it's confirmed there is no smoke or there's a fault. Happy to consider other options, I just don't know what's out there.
It's happened enough times now that I'm afraid to go away for even a week. It's been suggested that bugs/dust cause this. I'll need about 9 in total, so I don't know if there's any way to get a bulk discount.
Thank you!
You can use your phone to silence Nest detectors. However, you must be within 1-2 metres of the detector, otherwise it will refuse to silence it. So not suitable for your purpose. Furthermore, I would not suggest a use case are you've suggested, it's an pretty dangerous proposition.
