This happened in my house, too, although my house isnt new.

The fix was to use photoelectric smoke alarms. Most people have ionizing ones. I replaced my alarms, and it went away. Ionizing ones can detect things that are similar to smoke but definitely aren’t, and some of those things aren’t visible.

This video from Technology Connections gave me the idea, and I’m very grateful to them as a result.

These are combination ionizing/photoelectric. Some of them are also CO detectors. Maybe going to just PE would help?

Yeah exactly. Combos have to trigger if either goes off, because otherwise they’d be objectively worse than an individual unit, so they don’t help with false alarms.

Just photoelectric did it for me, no more false alarms.
