Hmm, this is weird. I did not program this original code. Looking through the code I believe there should be only one announcement after an alarm is triggered since a certain variable is being set from true to false after the alarm is getting disarmed.
I don't have any smoke detectors monitored by my DSC system, so I cannot test this. Is this happening only with smoke zones or any zone that is getting violated?
The DSC manual mentions that smoke sensors behave different from regular door/window sensors:
Certain sensors, after having detected an alarm condition, require a Reset to exit the alarm condition (i.e. glass break sensors, smoke detectors, etc.). Ask your alarm company if this function is required on your system.
To reset the detectors, press and hold the Reset key for 2 seconds or press *72.
If a sensor fails to reset, it may still be detecting an alarm condition. If the sensor reset is successful, the alarm is cancelled. If unsuccessful, the alarm will reactivate or continue.
