Alarm and monitoring system and method of operation therof

A method of operating an alarm and monitoring system to communicate an actuator control signal to a device, the method comprising:

• receiving an alarm event signal from an alarm event transducer;
• generating an actuator control signal based on the received alarm event signal;
• transmitting the actuator control signal to an actuator to adjust or restore a condition to a predetermined state;
• and
• transmitting an alarm event signal including alarm information to a secondary device in accordance with an alarm event that is determined to have been set.

An alarm and monitoring system comprising a primary device and at least one secondary device, the alarm and monitoring system comprising:

• an alarm event transducer that detects an alarm event;
• a controller configured to:
• receive a signal from the alarm event transducer and determine whether at least one alarm event is set;
• 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.
