Problem with Zipato siren Alarm

Hi,


I have a problem to configure Siren with alarm.

When I activate Alarm (home or Away) I need to have a "beep-beep" to be sure that alarm are activate.

But for the moment I have only song EMERGENCY faster.

How to configure Siren to have a BEEP song only for the activation?

Thx (sorry for my english)

Hmm, very good question. On the device list for squawk there is no option to select what to play from the available options only to select siren.

If you consider making an alarm, this can be done easily. See this recent topic. https://community.zipato.com/topic/stopping-execution-of-a-repeat-block

I also shared ideas to improve the virtual alarms a few months ago, we could add this to the list. See below.

As Attila commented, in the topic I posted my rules and explained my setup. BTW I removed the siren as squawk, it is only enabled on siren setting.

It is a shame that a light switch cannot be used as squawk device within the alarm setting (not recommended by zipato) and thus I need a rule to incorporate this feature. Maybe in a year this might be different.
