Method for managing an alarm system, the alarm system comprising: - a plurality of detectors (DET-B1, DET-B2, DET-B3), each configured to detect an event in an environment defined by a detection range of the detector, and to emit, in the event of an event being detected, an event detection signal, and - a plurality of alarm signal emitters (Em-B1, Em-B2, Em-B3), each configured to emit at least one alarm signal in the event of an event being detected, the detectors and the emitters being linked to one another, characterized in that each of the emitters is configured to emit a plurality of distinct alarm signals (SA1, SA2, SA3), in that the method comprises at least the steps: a) in the event of an event being detected by a first detector, assigning a first identifier to at least one first emitter, the closest to the first detector from among the plurality of emitters, and transmitting, to the first emitter, an alarm generation instruction with the first identifier, in order to activate the first emitter with a first alarm signal which is a function of the first identifier, b) modifying the first identifier in order to produce a second identifier on the basis of the first identifier and assigning the second identifier to at least one second emitter, the closest neighbour of the first emitter, c) transmitting, to the second emitter, an alarm generation instruction, in order to activate the second emitter with a second alarm signal which is a function of the second identifier, and in that the emitters are able to communicate with one another via a short-range radio-frequency link, the first emitter emitting said alarm generation instruction to one or more emitters within its range. the alarm system comprising: - a plurality of detectors (DET-B1, DET-B2, DET-B3), each configured to detect an event in an environment defined by a detection range of the detector, and to emit, in the event of an event being detected, an event detection signal, and - a plurality of alarm signal emitters (Em-B1, Em-B2, Em-B3), each configured to emit at least one alarm signal in the event of an event being detected, - a plurality of detectors (DET-B1, DET-B2, DET-B3), each configured to detect an event in an environment defined by a detection range of the detector, and to emit, in the event of an event being detected, an event detection signal, and - a plurality of alarm signal emitters (Em-B1, Em-B2, Em-B3), each configured to emit at least one alarm signal in the event of an event being detected, the detectors and the emitters being linked to one another, characterized in that each of the emitters is configured to emit a plurality of distinct alarm signals (SA1, SA2, SA3), in that the method comprises at least the steps: a) in the event of an event being detected by a first detector, assigning a first identifier to at least one first emitter, the closest to the first detector from among the plurality of emitters, and transmitting, to the first emitter, an alarm generation instruction with the first identifier, in order to activate the first emitter with a first alarm signal which is a function of the first identifier, b) modifying the first identifier in order to produce a second identifier on the basis of the first identifier and assigning the second identifier to at least one second emitter, the closest neighbour of the first emitter, c) transmitting, to the second emitter, an alarm generation instruction, in order to activate the second emitter with a second alarm signal which is a function of the second identifier, a) in the event of an event being detected by a first detector, assigning a first identifier to at least one first emitter, the closest to the first detector from among the plurality of emitters, and transmitting, to the first emitter, an alarm generation instruction with the first identifier, in order to activate the first emitter with a first alarm signal which is a function of the first identifier, b) modifying the first identifier in order to produce a second identifier on the basis of the first identifier and assigning the second identifier to at least one second emitter, the closest neighbour of the first emitter, c) transmitting, to the second emitter, an alarm generation instruction, in order to activate the second emitter with a second alarm signal which is a function of the second identifier, and in that the emitters are able to communicate with one another via a short-range radio-frequency link, the first emitter emitting said alarm generation instruction to one or more emitters within its range.
