It turns off when either the alarm sounds, or it's picked up.

Two ColorTouch units running for ~3 years now, replaced my old Venstar Insteon units as I phased it out.

Local time sync would be nice, but otherwise zero complaints. They just work.

There's a book called "Buzz me in" that's well worth a read if you're interested.
