Zipato Siren: Use Doorbell Sound?

The only way to get the doorbell sound to play is to have another Z wave device, typically a door sensor, use zwave direct association to trigger the doorbell.

Is that made from the smartthings app or do you have to follow an unusual procedure?

It depends on the edge driver for the trigger device. If the author of that edge Driver included the ability to set associations, then you can probably do it there.

If they did not, then there is a specialty edge driver which is a zwave configuration tool. You temporarily assign the trigger device to that edge driver, set the associations, they are stored in the device itself, and then you change back to the regular edge driver.

(EDGE Driver-Mc): Z-Wave Device Config Mc

(New Release) New Edge Driver Z-Wave Device Config Mc This is the initial version of the driver that allows reading and writing configuration parameters in Z-Wave devices. There is a New Version Aug/18 There is the Association Groups Version Sep/22 Link to new version with Wake_Up command class. Apr-23 Important note: If your device uses the Z-Wave Switch and Child Mc or Z-Wave Sensor and Child Thermostat Mc driver then they already have this driver built in to configure any parameter or association group creating a virtual configurator device and you don’t need to change to this driver: Link to post release Z-Wave Switch and Child Mc and Z-Wave Sensor and Child Thermostat Mc device config built in My Recommendation: The parameters that can be changed with the preferenc…

Note that this only works with an actual physical z wave device which supports direct association. You can’t do it from a virtual device.

Is there a specific trigger device you would like to use to trigger the siren to play the doorbell sound? We need the exact brand and model to see what’s possible.
