Sounds or Alerts to PC?

Check out the Aeon devices, which can act as a siren too. (Caveat I don’t have one, don’t care about door chimes)

[OBSOLETE] Aeon Labs Multifunction Siren

I won’t be converting this DTH into an Edge Driver so it will stop working once the Groovy platform is retired. Aeon Labs Multifunction Siren (Aeon Labs Siren - Model:ZW080-A17) This is a new device handler for the Aeon Labs Siren that provides a lot of new functionality. Alarm Settings You can choose the sound and volume that the default Alarm should use and an optional Duration. If the specified Duration is greater than 0, the alarm will automatically turn off after that number of seconds. [image] Beep Settings You can completely customize the default Beep sound and repetition, but it’s limited to a maximum play time of 20 seconds.

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!!

If you wanted to be creative you could probably write a smart app to make a hubAction call to a remote endpoint on your PC to trigger an event.
