External Siren for SmartThings - UK

[Kensi (CJ)]

I’m interested in replacing my current (somewhat problematic) alarm with a smartthings system. However, I have struggled to find a suitable external siren to replace the current one… I have seen some of the internal sirens but I’m concerned that they are less of a deterrent (but I don’t want to go for a fake alarm…).

Also, has anyone had any luck linking the ‘D-Link DCH-Z110 Home Door/Window Sensor’ to ST? At the moment (for cost reasons) I am thinking of using motion sensors downstairs only, and then putting door sensors upstairs. However, these look like a nice alternative that could provide all the functionality I need.

@Kensi a few of us are testing these sensors currently

They have both motion and contacts (window/door) products

Hi, What seems to consistently work for me is to hold down until you get a thing appear in smartthings. Once this is established, one short click, let it flash a few times, another short click, let it flash, repeat this a number of times. I’ve now got 10 motions and 10 contacts all working very well using this method. Stability, range and build quality is probably the best I’ve seen so far. It’s only this initial pairing process that’s a pain.

I did consider this… but, I always think the dummy box’s look questionably realistic

That looks like what I need! brilliant… thanks!
