My Neo Coolcam should allow me to select what sound it plays when the alarm goes off. However if I try to change it via script or through the z-wave configuration GUI it won’t change.
Zwave cfg file has this.

I can see all the options in the GUI but if I try to set it to one of them I get nothing in OZW_Log.txt and it doesn’t save. Other parameters seem to save ok and give logs.
@Soul here’s the full copy of my Siren config from zwcfg, so you can compare with your own. Thinking back I do believe I used ozcp to generate this working config and then copied it over to the HA zwcfg.
I think you should be able to use this config in your file (overwrite your current Siren config, just make sure to use your own Node Id and name. (and all the usual caveats such as backing up your original file etc etc)

As to the noises, I think they are the same for doorbell and alarm for me. Need to try that sometime. I think you can simply change the names (values) in the zwcfg file though.
Jumping in to this thread, hope it’s ok. Otherwise just say.
I have a neo coolcam siren and wants to use it as both doorbell and alarm, is it possible to get two switches that sets of different sounds? Now I can just set of the one configured in the parameters with the switch.
Running latest HA on Intel NUC via docker and apple home app via HomeKit component, therefor I want a switch so I can make the automations in the home app.
Hi,
I’m replying to you as hopefully you will get the notification as well as https://community.home-assistant.io/u/Soul
I got 2 off these sirens and was hoping to use them for various purposes with scripts to change the music and volume. This thread seemed the answer.
but (though it’s hard to read your code as the formatting is not preserved) I’ve done my versions just to swap between ‘Alarm’ and ‘Door Bell’ as yours did.
I manually changed the alarm music to be different to door bell music and then run the scripts …
They both play the same music ???
I’ve even commented out the parts where I would have populated the data fields from the UI
Can either of you see what I’ve done wrong ?
Thanks In Advance
Mutt
So, Cut and paste this to a text editor, search and repalce the node number
and then paste the result into my /config/zwcfg_0xe5c7ca5f.xml file ???
twice in my case as I have two of them ?
This should just work off the bat, why do they make it difficult ? >: - (((((
Thanks again
Hi Johan,
Sorry to resurect this but I’m having the same issue.
I copied your data into a txt file, compared it with the relevant data from mine and apart from the manufacturers name (Yours says Neo Coolcam - mine says Shenzen Electronics (still says Neo Coolcam on the front of the device though)) the node: number (mines 41) all the other data matched up apart from a few config parameters. The BIG difference I spotted was that your file was missing a tab from the beggining of each line (to match up with the dataset from my data object and all the others in the same file. so I added a tab to each line) I cut a pasted it in. Restarted and when I checked the file, it had removed the changes I just made.
I assume I’ve missed a step or done something stupid or was the missing tab gone for a reason ?
Thanks in Advance
Hi @Mutt. I just had a look, there is a tab in front of every line in my zwcfg file.
If your cfg is the same as mine, no need to change it I think. Below is a script I use to change the sound of the siren for your reference. Perhaps it helps:
Looking at your code I notice you do it the other way around, first turn the siren on and then change the sound. I don’t think that’ll work. Perhaps you can try to 1st change the sound and then turn on the alarm.
I also built in the delays because zwave being asynchronous I want to give the system some time to propogate the sound change command before turning the siren on.
Thanks,
I messed up when I was cutting and pasting, the turn on should not have been before the parameters in fact if you look again at my code I turn it on again after the parameters. I feel pretty stupid about that.
Thanks for your code and the tip about delay, seems logical.
I’ll give it a go over the weekend and let you know how it goes
Thanks again
Mutt
I was just installed a Neo Siren Alarm. I was about to start experimenting when I saw JvS’s excellent tip on the z-wave configuration.
The only thing that needs to be replaced is the CommandClass tag for id=“112”. This is a three-liner in the default configuration and much, much longer as seen in JvS’s example config file. Some other thing, specifically the version tags near the end of the configuration, are specific to an installation. They may make no difference, but it’s probably better to keep the ones you get from your default configuration.
In other words, just replace CommandClass 112 (COMMAND_CLASS_CONFIGURATION).
For completeness:
Stop the server
Make a backup copy of the z-wave configuration file (mine is /home/homeassistant/zwcfg_0xe696b7a9.xml
Edit the z-wave configuration so that node id 112 looks like JvS’s example.
Restart the server
Go to the configuration menu, select z-wave configuration, select the Neo siren under Nodes
Go down to Node Config Options. The different parameters should now be listed. To change from alarm to doorbell, for example, choose Config Parameter “7: Configure Default Siren On Mode”. In the Config Value below, you get the choices “Alarm music” and “Door bell music”. Select “Door bell music”. Then click the SET CONFIG PARAMETER link below that. Go through the same process to set the melody, volume, duration, etc.
