NOTIFICATIONS WITH EMBEDDED PLAYBACK CAPABILITY

An electronic device that provides a user interface that allows individuals to listen to an alarm is described. In particular, an environmental monitoring device may monitor an environmental condition in an external environment that includes the environmental monitoring device. This environmental monitoring device may provide to a computer a notification based on the environmental condition and an audio recording of sounds associated with the environmental condition. Then, using registered-device information specifying the electronic device of an individual, the computer may provide a message with the notification and the audio recording. In response, the electronic device provides the user interface that indicates the notification and/or a location of the environmental monitoring device. Moreover, the user interface may include one or more icons that allow the individual to selectively: listen to the audio recording, contact emergency services, and/or indicate that the environmental condition is a false positive.
