gtill - You're right, aerosols can set them off, but I don't think anyone was even awake when ours went off at 2:30am! Sleep-walking paint sprayers, maybe? :-)
Lokahi - Hmmm...another one in the Shores... it does start to sound like a conspiracy to keep us from getting a good night's sleep! ;-) So how was it last night?
We haven't reconnected the one that went bad in the wee hours a few night's ago- it did have a fairly new battery - but this has happened before, last winter actually which is why we think it's the higher humidity. The kind we have are rated for up to 90% humidity and, according to our little weather station, we get more than that at night sometimes. Mike is looking into other brands. Thinking of replacing all the AC wired ones with the AC kind without the battery backup, thus eliminating at least one cause of these false alarms. More guests arriving today so we gotta do something right away.
aloha, Liz
