Creating a custom siren, help needed

[jotto]

I have it set as a siren to turn on as a siren just like my aeotec one

Try setting up the device type as standard switch. With the new Smart Home Monitor you can configure to Alert with Lights, then simply select the switch you have setup for your custom alarm.

I also have a custom alarm (see below) and had issues with SHM triggering the device when it was setup as alarm. Since I changed the device to switch it has worked flawlessly.

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 …
