Alarming states 330 can control activation and deactivation of alarm 350 and display 352 in response to determinations made by multi-criteria state machines 310. Alarm 350 can provide audible cues (e.g., in the form of buzzer beeps) that a dangerous condition is present. Display 352 can provide a visual cue (e.g., such as flashing light or change in color) that a dangerous condition is present. If desired, alarming states 330 can control playback of messages over speaker 354 in conjunction with the audible and/or visual cues. For example, combined usage of alarm 350 and speaker 354 can repeat the following sequence: “BEEP, BEEP, BEEP—Smoke Detected In Bedroom—BEEP BEEP BEEP,” where the “BEEPS” emanate from alarm 350 and “smoke detected in bedroom” emanates from speaker 354. As another example, usage of alarm 350 and speaker 354 can repeat the following sequence: “BEEP, BEEP, BEEP—Wave to Hush Alarm—BEEP BEEP BEEP,” in which speaker 354 is used to provide alarming hush instructions. Any one of the alarming states 330 (e.g., smoke alarm state 331, CO alarm state 332, and heat alarm state 333) can independently control alarm 350 and/or display 352 and/or speaker 354. In some embodiments, alarming states 330 can cause alarm 350 or display 352 or speaker 354 to emit different cues based on which specific alarm state is active. For example, if a smoke alarm state is active, alarm 350 may emit a sound having a first characteristic, but if a CO alarm state is active, alarm 350 may emit a sound having a second characteristic. In other embodiments, alarming states 330 can cause alarm 350 and display 352 and speaker 354 to emit the same cue regardless of which specific alarm state is active.
