[OBSOLETE] Dome Wireless Z-Wave Plus Siren

I’ve created a SmartApp that allows you to select multiple contact sensors (doors) and Dome Sirens. It’ll play the short tone when a door is opened. You can accomplish the same thing with a routine and selecting the Dome Siren as a “switch”; however, I like to keep my routines clean.

Dome Door Chime SmartApp

There’s a new device handler for the Dome Siren that’s been approved by Dome so I don’t plan on supporting this version anymore.

It’s recommended that you remove the device and device handler and then install the handler and include your device again, but if you decide to just switch the device type in the IDE, make sure you go into the settings and save before trying to use the siren.

The new version uses the Music Player capability to play the chimes, but Dome has created a manual that provides detailed instructions for installing the device handler and using SHM/Speaker Notify with Sound to play different sounds based on different events…

Hey guys,

I have an add problem, i can select the device type and send strobe, alarm or beep and all work fine.
When i setup my security and chose the siren it select find but never goes off.

I have had to change the device type back to a switch and then in security select the switch to set off the alarm.
I have 2 sirens and both have the same issue. I can see in the event history that it sends the alarm on “both” but it doesn’t work?

Anyone else having this problem?

Many thanks

This is an old topic and device handler. The new device handler that’s officially supported by Dome is located:

Hello, I am a newbie. Can someone refer my to instructions as to how to install this?

http://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=Using_Custom_Code#Using_a_Custom_Device_Handler

The device handler on this page was replace by an official device handler from Dome. The Using the Dome Siren with SmartThings link in the first post has step by step instructions for installing and using the device handler.

I am working in IOS and it all works except that when I am finished adding the device, it keeps saying Checking Status. Any help?

It looks like you’re using the Samsung Connect mobile app and I’m pretty sure that doesn’t support custom DTHs so you need to switch to the SmartThings Classic mobile app.

Thank you!! That worked! I am new to all of this, so I have one more question. How do I change the sound to a chime?

You’re in the correct app, but it’s still not using the correct DTH.

This topic is for an old version of the Dome Siren DTH so you need to install the code from the post below.

After installing the code, open the device from the IDE and change it’s “Type” field to Dome Siren.

I bought a second dome siren , first one was working fine with the device handler ,but when I added the 2nd siren device handler not loading ,can anyone help me please

You should be using this handler:
