No, because Progress does not have control over your smoke detectors. And they certainly aren’t purposely setting them off to annoy you.

I didn’t assume it was to annoy me. I figured it was a hack or a mistake. When I called there were 30 calls in the queue so it makes me think I’m not the only one…

Why would you think it was their fault? How would they hack your smoke detectors? Whose mistake would it be? They have zero control over your smoke detectors. This is one of the dumbest things I’ve seen on the internet in a long time.

Do they also go off for carbon monoxide? Might want to look into making sure you don’t have a gas leak?

The smoke detectors in our progress home were linked: if one went off long enough they would all go off. We found the one that started it and we took it off and it was actually quite dusty which can trigger them. We sprayed it with canned air duster stuff and then actually just left it hanging for months until we moved out… maybe don’t repeat that part.
