    Thanks for this. Just built one to use with my Echo/Alexa enabled smart plugs. Simply say "Alexa, turn on siren" at or away from home, and it gets annoyingly loud at my house. Love it.

    Will this work with my contact sensors on my doors and windows , so like when a window open the siren will trigger?

    • @TheHTGuys
      @TheHTGuys  Рік тому +1

      yes it will work like this. But you'll have to set an automation to trigger the siren when the door or window opens.

    • @TheHTGuys

      Any remote switch will work. They typically have an app that gives you access via the Internet. Amazon has plenty of them for less than $10. The siren is found at part-express.com look for part number #260-060. The power supply is part number 129-1203 and the terminal jack is #335-372

    I'm hoping I can use some sort of contact sensor to trigger this off, like a door contact sensor, how can you integrate that with your current setup? thanks

    • @TheHTGuys
      @TheHTGuys  2 роки тому +1

      In Homekit I would set an automation for the contact senor. You can set an action (alarm turning on) to occur when the sensor opens. You can set it up to work during specific times of the day or when no one is in the home.

      If your Ring doorbell has been integrated with a home automation framework it can be done. In my case I use Apple's homekit and ws able to make it work with Homebridge, I believe there is a way to ake it work with Google Home as well as the Amazon Echo.

    • @TheHTGuys
      @TheHTGuys  2 роки тому

      I am using Homekit but this will work with Google or Amazon as well. The plug is made by el Gato and the line is called eve. Right now it only works with HomeKit but el gato will support Matter which will be platform independent. Matter should start rolling by the second half of the this year. You also do not need to use this plug. This is a generic type of function that will work on any platform with any smart-plug.

    • @TheHTGuys
      @TheHTGuys  Місяць тому

      Your Ring system needs to be able to trigger events that your home automation system can use to turn on a switch that the alarm is connected to. On its own, I'm not sure ring can do this. But as part of an automation system that can use ring it can.

    I got a pair of sirens that look like these from Amazon. They advertise them as 120 decibels but my testing at 1 foot away showed only 95 decibels.
    Not loud enough to be really effective.
    I would say 105db is minimal requirement.
    I despise these sellers who lie like that about their products.
    It is going back.
