So, I unplugged the thing where it attaches inside the ceiling, and we still have the batteries in them, so they continue to function....they just dont go off with power surges, power outages, etc. (Maybe that is not considered hardwired if it attaches to the entire system through the wiring?)
That is exactly what hard-wired means. Our one alarm is at the top of our foyer/stairs, so we would have to turn off the circuit breaker if ours ever went nuts. No way are we getting on a ladder!
