yeah my routers' LEDs are obnoxiously bright, luckily they have an option in the app to turn it off on a schedule. The super bright green LED in my smoke detector unfortunately does not have this option. Nor do the blue LEDs in my smart outlets...

The smoke detector is mandated by legislation in a lot of places. The premise being it can break, you don't know, and thus die.

Not a fan of LEDs, but I at least understand why this as it is.

I had the tenant before me install fake fire detectors once. Always a green flash every few seconds but that was the only electronics in there. I only noticed because after a few years, I never had to change the batteries, so I decided to check them.

When you move into a new place, always check they are real and work.

		New anxiety source: not that I will move into such a situation as yours, but that I do so and not remember to check.
