Yes, I am just looking for a chime sound when a contact sensor, typically on a door, opens. That’s a very popular use case and we used to get a lot of questions about it, particularly from families that have a potential “wanderer” or from people who wanted an alert when the front gate was opened, but something that sounded more like a doorbell. There’s a wiki article on it that’s been there for a couple of years and has been updated multiple times.
after the Aeotec doorbell and the Dome chime came out, those became the two most popular solutions, and they were pretty simple as long as you used one of the custom DTHs. And then echo added even more options, including custom voice announcements.
However, we now have people asking for one that does not require any custom code and that will work with the new app. So I’m just trying to collect information to update the wiki for those restrictions.
It’s true that the ADT panel sounds can only play for the ADT dual logo sensors? What other choices are there besides that triple-beep?
As far as the Samsung R1, believe it or not that line is not on the official “works with smartthings” list since the new app came out. Only the Bose models are there now.
This use case is for the simplest “plug-and-play” solutions for people who don’t want to use any custom code and only want to use the new app with devices on the official list.
That is what is listed for available sounds for a contact sensor. It should be noted that when it says voice it will say the label that is assigned to the device as well.
That’s the dual logo ADT SmartThings model hub. It has a chime/siren built into the panel. None of the other SmartThings hubs do. So it has a number of unique screens in the app.
same issue here. I used a sonos for chimes that worked with speaker companion. One day Sonos said there was a firmware update and I did it, not knowing that it breaks compatibility. I just bough a refurb R1 thinking that surely its smartthings integration would work… nope. I can add the speaker, but no sound comes from it when the speaker companion routine runs. I tried to do a routine in alexa, but they dont offer chimes either. Kinda lost on what to try. I really want a chime and not a verbal message every time the door opens, etc.
you are correct. I have a Amazon music paid service and was able to try this out. With that said, the experience wasn’t worth it. Since the echo treats the sound as music, there is a delay in playing it (not terrible, but not instant either). Additionally when I go to play music on another echo in the house, it says it cant because I already have music playing on another echo (the one that is playing the chime). For now i’m trying to use another smart app for smart things.
I have a solution for you
Use a smart plug
create a rule if door sensor open or close then plug turn on, then add turn off after 1 second in the same rule
Buy a small Bell for the plug
Hi Mavrrick, I have installed an AEOTEC siren 6 to my ADT-Smartthings system, I think Its working now because I can trigger its functions with an DTH (krlaframboise). I have set it up to turn it on when alarm is triggered with your ADT-Tools 2 app, I think It will work, tomorrow I will test it all tomorrow. My question is how can I set this external siren as a chime for dual branded door sensors (ADT/Smartthings). I have found some instructions but they are for SHM, but I cannot find how to do that in Classic Smartthing app using ADT/ST hub. Thanks my friend !
As the topic title says, this thread is specifically looking for devices that will work with the new V3 app without any custom code. That was the whole point. I’m already aware of multiple other options that do use custom code. Thanks.
You probably already know this, but just to update this thread, Amazon did add chime sounds, dogs barking, and a number of other sound effects options to their Alexa routines (not smartthings routines) A few months ago, So that’s now a very good option for many use cases.
Thanks, but when I said no custom code, that’s what I meant. This was in response to a question from another person and they have never signed into the IDE and don’t intend to. So I needed a solution which would work just with the official features in the official apps. Hence this thread.
Fortunately, the echo solution now provides that for someone who is using a physical sensor which is recognized by Alexa. and Amazon support can walk them through it. So from my point of view, problem solved.
Hi there,
I am new to smartthings/smartapps. I just joined GitHub to try your custom dome chime smartapp, and after downloading/unzipping your files, it’s not clear to me how to get your .groovy file added to the “My SmartApps” section of the smartthings hub IDE interface. I even tried to use the ‘enable GitHub Integration’ feature without any luck. Can you help?
I have a smartthings hub and want my ring chime to connect or through wifi to ST.
I have scoured the net and not seen anything. Great if you could help.
