I mean fair enough but they do randomly go off and when hardwired the whole house goes off. Not to mention it now requires an electrician to maintain

The randomly going off thing can be made better by more expensive detectors. Sure, you need an electrician.

This looks like lamenting the inconveniences of smoke detectors. My point is that hardwired smoke detectors function more consistently than battery powered ones.
