Since I am using this for home security (just signed up for monitoring, but could envision this being useful without it), I’d like a way to interface with one or more louder external sirens.
I can see this as just another device that you can set up a rule for and adjust settings on, or even a device that works with Sense Hub.
It would accept instructions and settings, and based on logic set up, would activate or deactivate the external siren. External siren might need to have its own 110v in the US or perhaps the device can have 110v passthrough based on relays. Note, Sirens often have more than one input based on the type of siren tone you want to hear (solid tone, warble, etc) for different purposes such as burglary, fire, etc. So this might be considered when paired with a keypad.
Michael, because Wyze does not offer an external Siren for the HMS (but should) and quarantines the HMS from the rest of the digital universe (and shouldn’t) as it pertains to rules and routines, it is difficult to work around the current limitations and restrictions.
But, where there is a will there is a way.
Check out this creative workaround post in a Wishlist topic for the same idea. Vote there too if you like it.
One of the only reasons I haven’t switched to Wyze HMS from Simplisafe is because Simplisafe offers external sirens so I have one downstairs and one upstairs guaranteeing I’d hear it in an emergency.
I hear Simplisafe is a good system. But how long would it take to pay off the hardware on an alternative choice to get a siren supported product with the Simplisafe monthly fee?
I have been thinking about just buying a strobe siren off Amazon, and putting a plug on the end, then plugging it into a wyze plug and using a wyze v1 motion sensor to set it off for motion greater than 2 seconds?
I was going to suggest YoLink as well. I have the external siren and it works great. Can integrate with Wyze and other ecosystems via Alexa or Home Assistant.
