3 nights ago the smoke alarm in the bedroom went off at 3 AM. Not just a low battery beeping but also a full alarm where I had to remove the batteries. Not a pleasant thing to wake up to. Checked all through the house and all seemed well. Figuring the smoke alarm was 20 years old; maybe it was bad and replaced it with a brand new one the next day. All went well that night but then last night the new one went off!! Now I’m really concerned. There are 4 other smoke alarms in the house and all check OK with the test but none have gone off for any other reason. Yet 2 different smoke alarms have gone off in the bedroom on two separate nights. I can’t smell or see any smoke anywhere. I even disassembled switches & receptacles in the room in case there was something arcing in a connection somewhere. All seemed fine there too. I’m going to check around some more when I get home tonight but am pretty well stumped. Only other thought that comes to mind is it has been abnormally high humidity the last few days. I know I once had one give me trouble when it was located right above a humidifier. Not sure how much humidity it takes to set one off but then again why don’t any of the others go off. Anybody have any ideas. Tim
