Abstract
A barrier alarm device for reducing the occurrence of false alarms in a security system. A barrier alarm device receives a status message from a central security system controller indicating that a security system controlled by the central security system controller is in an armed-home state. In response to receiving the status message indicating that the security system is in an armed-home state, the barrier alarm device causes a status indicator of the barrier alarm to activate, thereby warning people inside a home or business that the security system is armed.
