You can’t write handlers for hub connected devices with the API.
ST said there will be a replacement for groovy hub connected device handlers before the IDE gets retired, but they haven’t provided any details so I’m not sure if it will support the functionality necessary to re-create this handler.
Thanks for the quick reply. I’m sure things are going to be in chaos when this happens.
I am very new to ST, and I would be really grateful if you could help me. I just bought my first Doorbell 6, installed the handler. It sometimes worked, but mostly didn’t react at all. Then, after 2 days, the chime’s light stayed on and it makes a white noise. I doesn’t react to the action button, nor to the doorbell button. I deleted it from the Hub, but no changes. I even unplugged it, but it still has the light on and makes that sound. Please advise me on what I should do to bring it back t life.
Holding the action button for about 25 seconds will factory reset it which might solve the problem.
If that doesn’t work unplug it and let the battery die which could take 6-12 hours.
If that doesn’t work either then you most likely have a defective deivce.
You could just add the other Sirens to the Child Button Pressed action.
Thank you so much for your answer!
I contacted Aeotec, they confirmed it was defective and are going to replace the doorbell.
Hi, I set up the Aeotec Doorbell 6 quite some time ago, using the ST Classic app on IOS, now the Classic app is gone, how to get in and configure in the new ST app… or is there another way?
You will need to install the latest DTH…that is all explained in this thread
Hello,
Recently purchased the Doorbell 6 and have still not seen the strobe light up. Not even when I press the action button on the back. Does this mean that the doorbell is broken?
Thanks
Unfortunately if the action button doesn’t light the strobe, It most likely is broken.
If because bad luck your device is broken, Aeotec customer service (in my case) is just great. My Aeotec Siren 6 was broken and stopped making any sound (just light) and after great support they confirmed a failure, the replacement process by warranty and following was great, go for it with confidence …
Pushing the button doesn’t make the LED turn on. It may turn on as soon as you touch the device because of the tamper detection, but it wouldn’t if that setting was disabled.
Hold the action button for about 25 seconds and if the LED doesn’t come on at all then it’s definitely a defective device.
I activated it trough the mobile phone and set the volume at 100 %. Still very low sound
Insert the line below in between lines 701 and 702. Then provide the same logging results as last time.

I have installed the DTH for Aeotec Siren 6 and have been using it with webcore with some success. However, I am not sure how/if I can change the siren sound and the siren volume. Is there a way to do this?
I can use webcore commands “set level” followed by “play” or “play track” in order to hear the different sounds. However, creating a loop function to play the sounds continuously does not have the same effect (the sounds tend to interrupt each other which results in a nonsensical output from the siren, or if I add a time delay, then there is sometimes an awkward pause in between the playing of sounds).
With regards to the siren volume, I cannot raise or lower the volume like I am able to do when using the “play track”, but there does not seem to be a way to change the volume of the “siren” or “strobe and siren” commands.
Open the settings in the mobile app and change the siren sound to #17 to see if that’s any louder.
setLevel was a workaround I added which allowed users to select the device like a Dimmer in Automations to play the different chime sounds by #.
Play and play track to the exact same thing as setLevel which explains the behavior your seeing.
Are you using the device to play multiple sounds and you’re trying to also use it to play different sirens?
What I am trying to accomplish is to have my siren play 3 different sounds: a short chime for when a door opens or closes, a pre-alarm sound that signifies to a user that the alarm will go off in ~30 seconds, and an alarm sound for when there’s a possible intruder. The first two tasks I am able to accomplish easily using the “play track” command in webcore. I am also able to adjust the output volume using this command.
However, for the most important sound, the alarm, I am invoking the “siren” or “strobe and siren” command, which does not allow you to set the volume higher, or pick the siren tone. The tone that is played when the siren goes off is the same as track #10 and the volume seems to be around 70% of what I perceive the maximum output is.
