I have both the Dome and Zooz version of this siren using this DTH, and I don’t know of any way to just flash the LED’s because that’s not controlled via DTH code. It’s either enabled or disabled.
If your Chime 2 isn’t working, perhaps you have a defective device?
The discontinued model was almost identical and users frequently wanted to know the differences so my response was based on a couple of responses above mine and I didn’t actually look at those links.
I looked through the many post… I am sure this has been asked before… is there a way to change the length of the alarm? the options are 30,1,5, until battery is out. I would like a 3 sec alert. I am using iftt with manythings and smartthings. When MT triggers a motion alert it sends it to ST and Dome. I just want a short bell alert when this happens not 30 seconds of noise.
I got the dome siren from amazon. The first one had flashing lights, no sound. Tried couple of things like factory reset etc which did not help.
Fast forward I got my second siren which during setup for different things like chime, siren etc worked well for initial 30 mins. Final testing it stopped making sound again. If I press the speaker I can hear the alarm etc but as soon as I stop pushing the front grill it stops.
My question is should I give it another shot or its just that Dome devices are subpar and you have to be lucky for it to work? Is there any other sensor which smartthings support which is able to chime as well as alarm?
The sirens discussed here do NOT have a button on the front grill or do you mean you have to push the grill to get a sound out of it whilst activating it via ST? Are you able to meter the battery?
I have 8 of these and never ever had a single issue with any of them.
Another thing to keep in mind is that ST are constantly doing things in the cloud especially with the migration to the new app and infrastructure etc. so with something working from one moment to the next does not necessarily mean a hardware issue although in this case ‘pushing the front grill’ it probably is.
EDIT: Quick question; how would you even discover that pushing the front grill gave you a sound, come clean, did you drop it lol?
Its the same siren as everyone. I did not mean there was any physical button but if you apply pressure you can hear the siren.
Doubt its smartthings issue. since the light works and the sound worked initially.
Sounds like you are extremely unlucky then. Not may people report issues with them and as mentioned I have 8 all running happily. To get 2 faulty ones is not good though of course.
As an FYI the sound and LED’s are triggered separately so even though it does not apply in this case it could easily be down to things they are breaking behind the scenes. Do not even get me started on that one lol
Thanks for the info.
I did see the logging and could see only one trigger going there. Just want to make sure before I get the third one. If possible can you send me some lines of the log how it looks to trigger sound and light?
I have used smartthings for a little close to 1.5 years so am familiar with it enough to know where to check the log and how to update the DH.
I’m using CoRE to control the siren with my garage door. I’m able to make it chime when the door opens which is what I want. Is there a way to make the LED stay on while the door is open? I’ve tried using “Strobe” but it plays the default alarm instead.
