1. An apparatus for detecting a pattern warning signal from a hazard alarm and in response thereto sending an alert signal to a home security panel for notification to a remote monitoring station, comprising:

  • a receiver circuitry for converting said pattern warning signal from the hazard alarm into digital values;

    a user interface for providing user input to the apparatus;

    a memory for storing processor-executable instructions and at least one temporal pattern characteristic associated with a first temporal pattern;

    a processor coupled to the circuitry, the user interface and the memory for executing the processor-executable instructions that causes the apparatus to;

    receive, by the processor via the user interface, an identification of a first hazard alarm proximate to the apparatus;

    receive, by the processor via the receiver circuitry, the digital values;

    determine, by the processor, that the digital values substantially match a first temporal characteristic of the at least one temporal characteristics stored in the memory;

    transmit the alert signal to the home security panel when the digital values substantially match at least one of the at least one temporal patterns; and

    transmit the identification of the first hazard alarm to the home security panel.
