Disarm vs Acknowledge Alarm↑
When the alarm is triggered, there are 2 different options in the App:
Disarm: Disarms the alarm. To trigger the alarm again, it must be re-armed first.
Acknowledge Alarm: Acknowledges the alarm without disarming it. The alarm remains armed, so any connected sensor can trigger it immediately again.
