That's the thing: we still haven't replaced our CO alarm.

Given how integrated it is into the BRINKs panel: it's doubtful the CO alarms would've even worked while the BRINKs panel was powered but unactivated.

Now we are left with keypads [we don't want] and deactivated CO alarms bolted in to our freshly painted walls. sigh

I'm not particularly annoyed by the behavior itself: false alarms don't bother me, and a low battery alert is definitely a useful "error code."

What bugs me is that it should be easy to dismiss the "low battery warning" for _at least_ 8 to 12 hour windows. Long enough that you can actually get some rest and deal with it in the morning / after your shift.

If the walls are freshly painted, you can remove the alarms, patch the holes, and paint over. The new paint will match the paint around it.

It costs maybe $20 for enough materials (not counting paint).
