hard wired smoke detector
I have a hardwired smoke detector that came with my house. When doing some home projects (and some cooking) the detector goes off and there doesn't seem to be any way to turn it off. It just buzzes until the air slowly clears. My other detectors are battery operated and I just remove the battery.. Any suggestions on the wired detector short of turning off the power? I am thinking about turning off the power, cutting the wire and replacing unit with a battery model. Any alternative suggestions? Maybe installing an on-off switch (attach to which colored wire?) on the power line leading to the unit? --------- paul |
