> the 0.01% of the time where they are "activated", they do their job just fine.
Several homes I've lived in had smoke detectors that would false positive on a somewhat regular basis from (what I deduct were) sudden changes in humidity. This tends to happen in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, the only fix at times was to unplug the smoke detector and go back to bed. A "silence for 15 min" option, sensitivity adjustment, or any kind of interactive control would be amazing.
Also, who wouldn't want to get an alert if their house is burning down?
If Nest released this tomorrow I would replace every smoke detector in my house with one.
