The chirping often happens in the middle of the night as that is when the

Makes sense and a most useful snippet - ta!

And not hugely obvious - I've seen batteries drop voltage badly outdoors in
winter, but would not have assumped that a cool night indoors could make
enough difference.

Note to self - remember to change the batteries more often.
