The thing that beeps

There is a thing in my house that beeps. A quiet non-offensive beep every minute or so. Eventually it becomes less non-offensive and more bloody annoying.

I don't know what the thing is. Or how to stop it beeping. It was installed by the electricians when they rewired the house. It looks a bit like a smoke alarm but I know it isn't. It says to press and hold the cover to silence it which I have done (several times) but it starts up again a day or two later. It also says DO NOT REMOVE COVER and DO NOT CHANGE BATTERY. Some days it doesn't beep at all. Mr WF thinks that its related to how cold it is (he thinks it only beeps when it goes below a certain temperature). I'm not convinced but I'm happy to go with it. So long as he can make it stop (he can't. He's tried too).

Anyone seen that episode of Friends when Phoebe batters a smoke alarm to death?...
