I have one Smoke Detector (120VAC wired with battery - not part of the Leviton HAI OPII smoke zones) which triggered last night making all of the rest of the smoke detectors trip.
By chance (at random) I checked one in the second floor hallway. Removing it from the bracket and disconnecting I noticed it was very wet; with water dripping out of it as I removed it.
The inside of the can that it was mounted to was not wet.
Many years ago same smoke did false trigger and I did find water inside of the can and on the smoke detector. In the attic space the electrical box was insulated. I insulated the box some more and haven't had an issue in some 7 or so years.
The humidifier in the house is set to some 35%. There is no moisture on any of the windows in the house.
Has anyone ever noticed an issue like this with a smoke detector mounted to a can with the can being in the attic of the home?
