A fire alarm?
Maybe an alarm clock?

My answer is indeed 'alarm
clock'. Although it seems I missed CaptainD's answer 'fire alarm' which was pretty close too'

On the other hand, it usually smells (of smoke) when the fire alarm goes off  ;)

In fairness it's not the fire alarm itself that smells though  :P

In a sense it does, because it is able to detect smoke, just like a nose.

I'm going to cherish this statement for all time.  (laugh) In fact, I now want a t-shirt with the statement "just like a nose" and let people be bewildered.
