How to configure chime for Wink Z-Wave Siren & Chime?

[kaws]

Has anyone managed to configure the chime with automations for Wink Z-Wave Siren & Chime?

not sure if this topic is relevant

Support for Z-Wave Sirens/Chimes

I can never get this to work with the value_id in a script even when I get the correct value_id from the Zwave area (LIke this:Z-Wave Indicator class support) it always throws the error “Failed to run script… extra keys not allowed @ data[‘value_id’]” If I remove the value_id I get no error, however it does not change to the secondary tone, it instead will play the primary tone. [image] The only way I am able to change to the secondary tone is in the Z-wave configuration page, manually select…

Yes I have the wink chime and it’s been working for years now. There are a bunch of ways you can play the different sounds through automations.

Select device in the action section > select the siren > search for an option that says set value for indicator value > then enter a number 1 through 10. Each number corresponds to a sound.

Select the number action > select the set option > click the choose entity button > search
For Indicator value entities and select the one that corresponds to your siren > then input a value of 1-10.

Do you know what sound plays for the ten different chime tones?

What does toggle secondary chime mean?

I’m not sure if primary is chime or siren and vice versa

This is the best reference I could find

Z-Wave JS Config DB Browser

I think I have an idea of how to setup the automation now. Just have to bring the device somewhere isolated since the siren is loud for testing.

1. All of those options in the picture you posted are just configuration values. Configuration values allow you to change up the default behavior of a device. They are not used to play the sounds.

2. The wink siren shows up like a switch. The default sound that plays when you toggle the switch is determined by configuration parameter 5, 6, and 7. Parameter 5 allows you to specify the primary sound, parameter 6 allows you to specify the secondary sound then parameter 7 allows you to specify whether the primary or secondary sound should play when you toggle the switch.

3. Any configuration that has primary in its name changes the default behavior of the siren when its being controlled by the toggle switch and any configuration parameter that has secondary in its name changes the default behavior of the siren when its being controlled using the indicator command class. For example parameter 9 lets you enable or disable the strobe light that flashes when you play a sound using the indicator command class.

4. You can the volume level of the device by configuring the volume level parameter.

So with HA you cannot have both a siren and a chime. You can only have one or the other.

In HA you can choose to have a siren, which sound, volume, and length.

Same if you choose to have it chime instead.

No you can have both. You can play any sound you want at any time using the indicator value.

Also here is the different sound the device can play https://youtu.be/qXwYH0It7nw?si=KGmQVKbxU5erjpXo

Thank you so much! That video is amazing!

I’ll will do some testing after the holidays. I don’t want to piss of my visitors with the siren going off.
