No entities in zigbee tuya siren with ZHA

Unless there’s been a firmware update in the past few months, the “no sensors” version works in ZHA and Z2M with the Sonoff dongle.

The “with sensors” version was working at one point a few months ago, but now seems broken in ZHA after a VERY quick test. I might be doing something dumb, but I don’t have time now to debug (and doubt I will - it works fine under Z2M which is now my primary zigbee network).

There are other important differences beyond sensors between the “with sensors” and “no sensors” versions. See: Tuya Zigbee Smart Siren Supports Built In Battery Or False Advertisement? - #3 by jerrm

In ZHA, the only entity is an alarm on_off toggle. The volume, melody & duration settings must be changed via cluster commands, see: Zigbee Neo Siren AB02B2-v2 trying to switch melody - #8 by jerrm. Z2M exposes everything as easy to set entities.

My biggest issue was the device sometimes misses commands. The Z2M version of the above script (that I actually use) sends each command twice with a 50ms delay, which seems stable so far.
