I do exactly this. I created a virtual switch called “Beep”. I then turn on “Beep” via Smart Lighting for door opens, etc.

In addition, I have a small bit of code that actually ties the virtual switch to the the siren. It’s really easy.

```
/**
 * Siren Beep
 *
 */
definition(
    name: "Siren Beep",
    namespace: "KristopherKubicki",
    author: "kristopher@acm.org",
    description: "Quickly Pulse a Siren",

    iconX2Url: "https://s3.amazonaws.com/smartapp-icons/Developers/whole-house-fan@2x.png")

preferences {
	section("Sirens"){
		input "sirens", "capability.alarm", title: "Which?", required: true, multiple: true
	}
	section("Virtual Switch"){
		input "dswitch", "capability.switch", title: "Which?", required: true, multiple: false
	}
}

def installed() {
   initialized()
}

def updated() {
	unsubscribe()
    initialized()
}

def initialized() {
    subscribe(dswitch, "switch.on", switchHandler)

}

def switchHandler(evt) {
    sirens?.siren()
  	dswitch.off()
    sirens?.off()

}
```
