We got the fancy ones--if they go off, you can turn them off by pointing any remote control at them and hitting a button. Brilliant! But. The downstairs one is right above the stereo tuner. And here's the thing, pointing a remote at it and hitting any button will also put the damn things in test mode. So if you are, say, watching a movie and are less than diligent about where you aim the remote to turn up the volume, the smoke detector will start yelling at you. Literally, it yells, and says you need to evacuate the building.
Needless to say the downstairs one is in a few pieces and without batteries at the moment.
