Arduino shield for use in siren

[jotto]

@dangitbobby

hook up a decent siren rather than these z wave toys I see in the compatible products

I was also driven to create my own alarm. See post I made with custom alarm (siren/strobe) I created:

Non Z wave siren?

The other option is to build your own Siren/Strobe with ‘off the shelf’ components and use a SmartPower Outlet to turn it on and off. This is the set-up I have, probably cost me $75 total but its will blow any of these cheap sirens/strobes away! Parts you will need: Siren [image] You can find these for $10-$50 and in many different form factors depending on your needs. One is used was Honeywell Ademco 748 119db Dual-Tone Siren Strobe (If you desire) [image] Prices on these are all over the place. Can find as cheap as $10 all the way to $150 (heavy duty outdoor models). Again many different for factors to choose from here, there are flush wall mount strobes (<1" thick) that are clear or there are plenty of other options. My suggestion would be to go with a cheap one as it will …

In essence, you don’t need to setup via Arduino shield to do this.
