Hi @Jari_Peuhkurinen ,  
Most important is that the first card _When…_ is only a trigger that fires at an incident. Then the flow is works off and stops. It starts only again if the next incident occurs, in your case - the alarm changes from off to on.  
Usually you should avoid _ **busy-wait** _, but in some cases it might be useful or an easy start.

 ![Busy-Wait](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/7/d7636ecdfa7271639e014399ea786c62b55d774b.jpeg)  
_yellow_ lines after the _And…_ cards mean **in case of _NO_**  
That is not anything I would suggest. But it is more or less how you looked on the problem - and it would work.  
Then you could check how others solve similar problems and which solution you like the best.
