I could totally use this gadget in my kitchen. Not because I’m constantly burning stuff but because I’m a big fan of searing meats/fish in my trusty cast iron pan @ high heat. My smoky searing habits are so frequent that the fire alarm is no longer mounted to the ceiling in my house. It’s tucked away in the front entrance closet, even with it’s secluded location it still goes off once in a while! ENTER “Smokey the Silencer”
don’t know how they manage to do it, but many people are like dorks in the kitchen! They get two left-feet and splatter the whole place with mess! To top it off, invariable the smoke alarm goes off, thanks to clumsy ventilation and cooking! This situation is both funny and radical, coz you can’t have the smoke alarm go off for nothing! Rectify the situation with an anti-smoke alarm; welcome Smokey the Remote Smoke Alarm Silencer! No more hurrying to remove batteries of the alarm.
This everyday kitchen timer hosts an XBee chip that communicates wirelessly with the smoke alarm. So when the alarm goes off, simply press his hand to temporarily silence it until the smoke clears.
