[OBSOLETE] Aeon Labs Multifunction Siren

[CAL7 (Charles)]

Kevin - once again, thanks for bringing this little device to life, including integration with CoRE.

I’d like your opinion, please. I’ve been using the following DTH for simple beeping:

Aeon siren as door chime

I have an aeon siren that I was using as a door chime with the InControl home automation software. The door sensor would trigger a scene that would activate the siren to come on for 500ms then turn off every time the door was opened. The siren didn’t make the prettiest sounds but it was capable of 4 tones at 3 different volume levels each so I could audibly differentiate between the back and front doors being opened. Is there such a thing with smart things? Is anybody using any kind of z wave siren as a door chime? Last week I’ve made the switch from IncontrolHA to Smart Things v2 and I’ve got this and 2 other features standing in the way of my home automation bliss. PLEASE HELP!!

I am coming to believe that the resiliency that @ady624 has built into CoRE makes it the most reliable SmartApp and I’m moving everything I can to CoRE. With all the functionality that you and Adrian have built into the Aeon chime, I’m considering replacing the above BEEP dth with just CoRE pistons and your custom command set.

In addition to the flexibility of the command set, how would the reliability be? Currently the BEEP dth works about 19 out of 20 times; the other 1/20, it never stops. While this keeps her on her toes and reminds her that I have the ability to make her life miserable, the hit to WAF is probably not worth it. Do you think your beep functionality would do better than 95%?
