alarmTriggered

Alarmtriggered is a term used to indicate that an alarm condition has been activated in a system that monitors safety, security, or environmental parameters. The phrase can function as a state indicator, a boolean flag, or an event name within sensors, controllers, and software that manage alarms. Naming conventions vary, with alarmtriggered appearing as a concatenated token, while other systems may use alarm_triggered or alarmTriggered.

In practice, alarmtriggered signals that a predefined threshold or condition has been met and requires attention. When set, it commonly triggers a sequence of responses such as notifications to operators, sirens or visual alarms, logging, and escalation to higher-priority monitoring. The event is typically accompanied by metadata, including a timestamp, the source sensor or device, and priority level, to aid in rapid triage and incident investigation.

Implementation often involves a state machine or event-driven architecture. A system may set alarmtriggered to true on detection, perform required actions, and then transition to a resolved or reset state once the condition is cleared and a reset action is issued. Debouncing and confirmation checks help reduce false alarms, while automatic or manual resets determine how and when the system returns to normal operation.

Variations in terminology and data models exist across industries, but the core concept remains consistent: alarmtriggered marks the moment an alarm condition becomes active and initiates a defined response protocol. See also: alarm, event, state machine, escalation policy.
