Default smoke detector delay - interconnected


wrote in message
...
Hi,

I was wondering if some one could recommend a few smoke detectors that
are interconnected and are not very sensitive to thinks like steam or
making toast. Since I need the detectors to work for two dwellings I
was hoping to find ones that work on a delay such as 30 seconds to 1
minutes before the other detector starts to sound.



Use photoelectric style smoke detectors. They are less prone to nuisance
alarms from cooking and such. If you can't get them at a hardware store,
try an electrical supply company. I don't know of any brand that has a
delay.
