Couldn't find a thread like this that already exists, so here's a thread where the manliest of manly FBGs can show off their manliness by helping people with home maintenance problems they can't figure out.
I'll start.
Been woken up the last two mornings to what I think is a smoke detector on the top of our 30 foot vaulted ceilings going off. Sounds like a pretty standard smoke detector chirp. It goes off every few seconds for a little while (30 mins maybe?) and then stops for the day.
So today I climbed up there assuming it just needed a new battery and lo and behold...there is no battery. I guess it's wired in with no battery backup. So wtf is the beeping? I can't find any information on the unit as to what model it is or even if it is actually a smoke detector (CO2 detector?).
Here are pics of the unit.

So what the hell is this thing and why is it ruining my life?
