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 and monitoring system comprising a primary device and at least one secondary device, the alarm and monitoring system comprising: at least one controller configured to: 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. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The alarm and monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the at least one controller is configured to receive the transmitted alarm event signal at the secondary device. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The alarm and monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the at least one controller is configured to generate the alarm signal at the secondary device. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The alarm and monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the at least one controller is configured to determine capabilities of the secondary device. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The alarm and monitoring system of claim 4, wherein the at least one controller is configured to form the alarm event signal in accordance with the determined capabilities of the secondary device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The alarm and monitoring system of claim 5, wherein when generating the alarm signal, the at least one controller is configured to determine whether communication is established between the primary and secondary devices. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The alarm and monitoring system of claim 6, wherein when the at least one controller determines that communication is established, the at least one controller is configured to provide a user interface in accordance with the determined capabilities of the secondary device. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The alarm and monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the secondary device comprises a memory and the controller is configured to generate the alarm signal in accordance with rendering information that is stored in the memory. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The alarm and monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the secondary device is configured to control one or more other devices to generate the alarm signal. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The alarm and monitoring system of claim 9, wherein the one or more other devices comprises at least one of an auditory, visual and haptic rendering device to generate the alarm signal. ### Claim 11 A method of operating an alarm and monitoring system comprising a primary device and at least one secondary device, the method comprising acts of: at least one controller determining whether at least one alarm event is set; establishing a communication between a primary device and the secondary device when it is determined that the alarm event has been set; transmitting 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; generating an alarm signal by the secondary device in accordance with at least the alarm information; and rendering the generated alarm signal on a rendering device. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the act of establishing the communication comprises an act of establishing a wireless communication between the primary and secondary devices. ### Claim 13 The method of claim method 11, comprising an act of generating the alarm signal at the secondary device. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, comprising an act of determining capabilities of the secondary device. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, comprising an act of forming the alarm event signal in accordance with the determined capabilities of the secondary device. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the act of generating the alarm signal comprises an act of determining whether communication is established between the primary and secondary devices. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, wherein when it is determined that communication is established, the method comprising an act of providing a user interface in accordance with the determined capabilities of the secondary device. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, the method comprising an act of generating the alarm signal in accordance with rendering information that is stored in a local memory. ### Claim 19 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, comprising an act of controlling one or more other devices to generate the alarm signal. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, comprising an act of the one or more other devices generating at least one of an auditory, visual and haptic alarm signal.
