Smoke Detectors are so 20th century.

Someone's house is going to burn down, for some reason they're going to think the round thing blinking on the ceiling was a working fire detector, and the insurance company is going to take them to town.

All because dad thought it would be cool to have a WIFI ROUTER that looks like a fire detector? Why not make one that looks like a first aid kit or defibrillator?

In a hung ceiling environment that would be ok, but good luck if your house burns down explaining to the insurance company how that isn't a smoke detector. Just snap out of it and put the thing on your desk.
