establish a wireless communication between a primary device and the secondary device, when it is determined that the alarm event has been set; transmit an alarm event signal including alarm information from the primary device to the secondary device in accordance with the alarm event that is determined to have been set; generate an alarm signal by the secondary device in accordance with at least the alarm information; and render the generated alarm signal on a rendering device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An alarm system comprising: a primary device having a first controller; and at least one secondary device having at least one secondary controller and at least one rendering device; wherein the first controller is configured to (i) determine whether at least one alarm event is set on the primary device, (ii) establish a wireless communication between the primary device and the secondary device when determination is made that the alarm event has been set on the primary device, (iii) generate a first alarm signal including first alarm rendering instructions based on the alarm event set, and (iv) transmit the first alarm signal including the first alarm rendering instructions from the primary device to the secondary device, and wherein the secondary controller is configured to (i) generate second alarm rendering instructions for the rendering device based on the first alarm rendering instructions and (ii) render the second alarm rendering instructions on the rendering device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The alarm and monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the first controller is configured to determine capabilities of the secondary device prior to generating the first alarm signal including the first alarm rendering instructions. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The alarm and monitoring system of claim 2, wherein the first controller is configured to generate the first alarm signal in accordance with the determined capabilities of the secondary device. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The alarm and monitoring system of claim 3, wherein the first controller is configured to determine whether communication is established between the primary and secondary devices prior to generating the first alarm signal. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The alarm and monitoring system of claim 4, wherein the first controller is configured to provide a user interface in accordance with the determined capabilities of the secondary device after the first controller determines that communication is established. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The alarm and monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the secondary device includes a memory, and wherein the first controller is configured to generate the first alarm signal in accordance with rendering data that is pre-stored in the memory of the secondary device. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The alarm and monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the secondary device is configured to control one or more tertiary devices external to the secondary device to additionally render the second alarm rendering instructions on the tertiary device. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The alarm and monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the at least one rendering device comprises at least one of an auditory, visual, and haptic rendering device to render the second alarm rendering instructions. ### Claim 9 A method of operating an alarm and monitoring system comprising: determining by a first controller on a primary device whether at least one alarm event is set on the primary device; after determining the alarm event is set, establishing by the first controller communication between the primary device and a secondary device; generating by the first controller a first alarm signal including first alarm rendering instructions based on the alarm event set; transmitting the first alarm signal including the first alarm rendering instructions from the primary device to the secondary device; generating by a secondary controller on the secondary device second alarm rendering instructions for a rendering device based on the first alarm rendering instructions; and rendering the second alarm rendering instructions on the rendering device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, further comprising, prior to generating the first alarm signal, determining by the first controller capabilities of the secondary device. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein generating the first alarm signal includes generating the first alarm signal based on the determined capabilities of the secondary device. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, further comprising, prior to generating the first alarm signal, determining by the first controller whether communication is established between the primary and secondary devices. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, further comprising, after the first controller determines that communication is established, providing by the first controller a user interface in accordance with the determined capabilities of the secondary device. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein generating the first alarm signal includes generating the first alarm signal based on rendering data that is pre-stored in a memory of the secondary. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, further comprising controlling by the secondary device one or more tertiary devices external to the secondary device such that the second alarm rendering instructions are rendered on the tertiary device. ### Claim 16 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein rendering the second alarm rendering instructions on the rendering device includes rendering at least one of an auditory, visual, and haptic response on the rendering device.
