Looks like an insulator to me.

Could it be a heat detection device for a central fire alarm system?

That could explain the metal button in the middle. Are there any wires to it. I can’t see any in my photo.

Yes their are wires going to the device. I beleive Mike is right about the alarm system response. I have a call into the city building department.


Would these use low voltage wiring and are they still in use. This house does have a updated alarm system.

Thanks for your response.
