Since they boast different sounds, I bought one of these to use as an upstairs door chime. I don’t want a loud siren going off, just a quick quiet beep…can this happen?
just 1 quick search in the forums will bring you to this community device handler
I won’t be converting this DTH into an Edge Driver so it will stop working once the Groovy platform is retired.
Aeon Labs Multifunction Siren
(Aeon Labs Siren - Model:ZW080-A17)
This is a new device handler for the Aeon Labs Siren that provides a lot of new functionality.
Alarm Settings
You can choose the sound and volume that the default Alarm should use and an optional Duration.
If the specified Duration is greater than 0, the alarm will automatically turn off after that number of seconds.

Beep Settings
You can completely customize the default Beep sound and repetition, but it’s limited to a maximum play time of 20 seconds.
Sound #3 is a constant tone so it is the most reliable sound to use for beeps, but it’s still not perfect. When using the repeat functionality…

Thank you, didn’t see that when I searched.
Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to implement those things? I can make my way around the app, but not sure where to start for building out programs like this.
Sounds like you are fairly new to SmartThings community so here’s a link to an FAQ. You should spend some time to familiarize yourself with the terms and process.
I would very much like to see a FAQ on how to install a custom device type, device handler, and smart app from both github and just copy/pasted from this forum. Just the generic steps, with the understanding that the code may have to be edited by the user for a specific install.
Full instructions, including links to IDE.
So three separate parts:
To install a SmartApp that needs a custom device type, device handler, and smartapp from Github:
and then the same for copy/paste from forum.
Video is nice, but I would prefer a forum post as one of my aides is deaf.
If there’s an existing forum post that covers this, that would be great, just provide a link to that.
TIA!
The original FAQ information in this thread refers to the original smartthings architecture, which was in place through the end of 2022 and a little beyond. Custom code was written in the groovy programming language and ran in the smartthings cloud.
As of May 2023, you can no longer add new Groovy DTH‘s or smartapps to your smartthings account. So if you came here because of a link in an old forum thread, or on another site, I’m afraid the Groovy information is no longer usable.
All of this was replaced by a new architecture. Cloud to cloud integrations use the smartthings API. Hub connected devices, mostly Zigbee and zwave, now use “Edge Drivers,” written in the LUA programming language. Here’s the official announcement on those:
The process for using a custom Edge Driver in the new …

Yes, I am. I’ve had SmarThings installed for a couple of weeks, time to push outside of what comes with the app. Thanks!
