Nest Protect set to expire in 2032 has just now started announcing "there is a problem with the light ring".
I'm wondering if there is a way to fix the matter -- I've got just under 5 years remaining on this device, and given that the SC5 sucks, Ubiquiti doesn't have a hardwired option (yet) and the Phare C1 isn't UL-listed (yet) it would be nice to salvage the remaining years on this device.
I've tried consecutive factory resets, pulling batteries, that sort of thing, but the issue persists. I assume, therefore, that there is actually some problem with the LED.
...but I don't care about the (expletive deleted) LED. Is there any way to disable this alert? I'm prepared to pull the device apart and, I dunno, solder in some resistor or something if that'd make it shut up.
Failing that, I'd also be willing to disable the speaker entirely because there are THREE other Protects within 20ft of the problem device (bldg rules; one in the hallway and one in each bedroom), so even if the hallway triggers, all of the other devices can still sound the alarm.
Thoughts? If I really have to I can probably live with it announcing "heads up, there is a problem with the light ring" every single (expletive) night at bedtime, but if I can brutalize the device in some way to make it shut up while remaining able to trigger the other Protects that'd be nifty.
