Fire Alarm

There’s nothing quite like the feeling when your fire alarm goes off in the middle of the night when there’s no fire. And it’s even more of a pain when you can’t quite figure out why it is going off or how to fix it and turn it off. And when it’s the middle of the night, the last thing you want to do is stay up even longer trying to figure out how to fix it. To avoid this, Netatmo has a list of tricks you can try to get back your peace and quiet;

• Check the batteries to see if they’re low
• Read the manual that came with the smoke detector or fire alarm to see if there are any obvious installation or function issues
• Reset the fire alarm by turning it off and on again
• Clean the smoke detector or fire alarm, as a build-up of dirt, might be affecting its normal function
• If your smoke detector/fire alarm turns out to be faulty, buy a new one as soon as possible

Whenever your fire alarm goes off, always make sure to check around the house for a source of fire or heat before tending to it. You’d never want to focus so much on the noise that you don’t take care of a real threat. But if you find that it’s just a false alarm, try one of these tricks to make it quiet again.
