Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
😂 Hopefully I haven’t awaken any extra paranoia. But agree, probably all made in the same places. The certification sounds good though.
On that note, looking for some smoke alarms, and didn’t realize there was such a wide variety! From the cheapo old school reliable ones all the way to really expensive supposedly “smart” alarms.
Mostly we have filled out house with mostly these ones. Mitre 10 has three packs where one is a temp only sensor, for kitchens. So you can have kitchen ones but they trigger on a sudden increase in temperature not on smoke.
We tried another brand Orca they sell as well, but they seem to fail pretty often (as in, one just would constantly make it’s “fire!” noise as soon as you put the battery in. Others will just start beeping after a year or two and you can’t get replacement batteries (they are supposed to last 10 years).
Saw those ones when we went to Mitre10 the other week. Good to hear they have been working well for you. Those smaller footprint ones do look nicer.
