Exodus then Yes Blue is combined Optical (Smoke) and Heat Ultimately, one for your installer to sort out, really, be interesting to see what they suggest. I have, in the past, been given silly directions by builders misinterpreting building control regs, e.g. was asked to fit smokes in every bedroom in a domestic house with loft extension 'because the regulations say'. I wonder if the same has happened with your installer here? Personally the kitchen would always be a heat detector, as recommended. Is it always just the one detector false alarming then?
