Alarm Acknowledgement - does it exist?

If a Burglar Alarm is activated, I have a rule that activates a strobe, on Output 3, for 5 minutes.

Recently, I accidentally caused a Burglar Alarm. I immediately disarmed the system, acknowledged the alarm, and then watched the strobe run for the balance of its 5 minute timer.

I want to create a rule that disables Output 3 whenever someone acknowledges the Burglar Alarm. I can't find this condition in Rules: "Alarm Acknowledgement". Does it exist under another name?

If it does not exist, I guess I can simply create a rule that disables Output 3 whenever the system is Disarmed.
 
Over 60 views later and no replies ... I'll assume that Alarm Acknowledgement is not available to Rules.
 
A flag should be simple to use for this. When the alarm triggers, set a flag called Alarm_Triggered (or whatever you want to call it). Then create a code block for disarming the system that includes a check if the Alarm_Triggered flag is set. Do your appropriate actions there.
