To me, that's a pretty good way to go.
It's also against code.
One should NEVER tamper with the insides of a life-safety device. Find the
right device for the right purpose.
Unless, of course, there doesn't appear to be a "right purpose" device
and the alteration improves the function for the specific purpose.
Which specific Code section are we violating here? Manufacturers'
warranties, etc., sure, but I'm not sure Code covers modifications for
purpose.
