NEO Coolcam Siren as doorbell

Other Devices & Integrations Door Locks & Sensors

Hello,

i have a Vera Edge controller and i recently bought this device:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/NEO-Z-wave-Plus-Wireless-Home-Automation-Battery-Powered-Also-Can-Be-Charged-With-USB-Siren/32850753451.html

And here is the manual:

There is 6 parameters i can set, 3 for alarm and 3 for doorbell (duration, volume and music), but i can trigger only the alarm part of the siren.
I tried the Notification Command Class (https://www.vesternet.com/resources/application-notes/apnt-125) but without success.
If i want to switch to doorbell i have to change the alarm sound to a doorbell sound then trigger the alarm, then switch back the alarm sound.

There is a way to trigger the alarm and the doorbell separately without changing the alarm music ?

Thank you for the help.

Hi there this maybe to late but this works with my Vplus and coolcam.

Yes you can do this using a http command to change the parameter value.
I’ve used PLEG and multiswitch before to do this but it does is not an instantaneous result as the the Siren is a frequently listening device (FLIRS), so there will be a time delay.
In the end I found it was easier to add additional sirens, each with there own parameter.

Hello,

thank you for your replies.
I was able to use the siren like this: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/neo-coolcam-smart-power-plug-and-siren/64499/3

Can i change the type of the siren from binary light to alarm ?

Go under device/advanced/params

and change
category_num to “24”
subcategory_num to “0”
device_file to “D_Siren1.xml”
device_json to “D_Siren1.json”
