Not a solid green, check the power supply and I wonder, how old are
they?

How do you know there was no smoke?

A neighbor had a smoke alarm going off sporadically, so he removed the
detector to get it repaired. I don't know where they repair
detectors, but nonetheless, days or weeks later a fire broke out in
the clock of his stove. Burned out the whole kitchen and smoke damage
elsewhere. Maybe water damage under the kitchen also.

These things are sensitve and will alarm when smoke levels are below
what your nose can sense.
