The smoke alarms went off this morning. Probably a spider, lol. We have quite a few alarms and they're interconnected. They are 'latching', so the offending alarm will blink, even after the alarms are off, until it is reset. Looking up at all those detectors kills my neck, so today I came up with the idea using a mirror. Simple, but so must I be.
 
Whatever works. We have a talking detector in our camper. One day, while a bunch of us were sitting around outside, it started squawking "Warning! Error in Master Bedroom!" over and over. Took a while to live that one down!
