Arm and disarm smart home monitor, play a notification over sonos

Looking to arm and disarm the smart home monitor via a button (e.g. the aeon labs minimote), at which time I will hear a notification saying “Alarm engaged” or some other custom sound.

Using a button to arm and disarm is no problem. Notify with sound can play custom notifications i want, but only reacts to mode (away,home) changes, not smart home states (armed home, armed away, disarmed)

Any ideas how to make this happen?

Take a look at Big Talker. ([(OBSOLETE See 1.1.10 or later) 1.1.8 10/11/16] Big Talker - Talk when events occur) I think it will do what you’re wanting to do. I’ve got mine setup to alert on all of my Sonos players when doors open or close. Cheers!
