If the smoke detector function is having false alarms, this should be reported to Underwriters Laboratories, the tech arm of the fire insurance industry. Here's the report form.
The NEXT smoke detector has UL approval number UTGT.S25414. That means UL actually tested the thing. But they may not be testing adequately for electrical noise on the power side, because, until now, smoke detectors were simple electrically and insensitive to power problems.
So report problems to UL. They take fire safety device failures very seriously.
