At start up my siren goes on

I am using Konnected board and i have entered following in my config file, under Konnected section:

  switches:
    - zone: out
      name: siren

As soon as I turned on (power up) Konnected board my siren goes turns on, is there any way to fix this and how do I use siren in automation? any example will help greatly.
I also wanted to see if I can use siren as door chime, is it possible?

You can add a homeassista to uptime timer and trigger the alarm only when it should be triggered + uptime>5 mins. That’s how I circumvented similar issues.

Hi, im a newbie over here. just wanted to check what should i do for the solution from fversteegen? is there an example of how the code should look like? Thanks in advance

No worries :slight_smile:
Start with creating an uptime sensor like explained at https://www.home-assistant.io/components/sensor.uptime/
Then in your siren automation include a condition like indicated in screenshot below.
