Indigo Domotics

Having being looking for a while for a neat sounder that does both doorbell and alarm sounds, or indeed ANY device that is a decent z-wave doorbell sounder.

Just found the "ZipaBox Internal Siren" which appears just the ticket,
BUT:
Whilst it works perfectly with the ZipaBox controller it appears to be problematic with the Fibaro and other controllers. Can';t find any reference to it under Indigo.

I assume the problem is that there are configuration settings need to be changed to access the different sounds, but as a user you simply want to be able to use a normal commands to access any of the sounds.

So:
i) has anyone tried this device with Indigo7
ii) is there a way of changing configuration settings live within python programming rather than via the device settings dialogue (for any device, not just this one). Seems like a plug-in opportunity?
iii) does anyone know a better device for providing multiple audible outputs, each directly accessible from python code

I have the D Link version which I think is the same and it works well using the raw Z Wave commands described http://www.vesternet.com/resources/appl ... s/apnt-125

Just use the send z wave commands action as shown below, no need to reconfigure or for a plugin.

It works fine, the siren is very loud, I use it as a doorbell triggered by my DoorBird.

Thanks,
Neil

Worked well. Set up over breakfast - 15 mins despite distractions!

Tested Beep and Doorbell - my wife is still in bed so try the alarm sounds later

Thanks again, Neil.

No worries - Glad it worked out.
