In my case, it was just the low battery signal…

Low battery indicator for Button #1 - #3)

Doorbell 6 has 3 low battery indicators for 3 possible button slots. This will indicate if battery is low on any connected button to Doorbell 6.

Button 1

LED blinks once (100ms), then no LED for 5 seconds. Repeats continuously until replacement of battery.

Button 2

LED blinks twice (100ms), then no LED for 5 seconds. Repeats continuously until replacement of battery.

Button 3

LED blinks thrice (100ms), then no LED for 5 seconds. Repeats continuously until replacement of battery.

Hey Rene,
I set the default volumes with node-red.

But you can also use a script to do this, the image bellow is how I set my doorbell 1 sound to 0 at night or when I am not home.

Im not sure what value you need to use for the tamper siren. But I believe this would be “2” instead of the “3” in my ss.

Jut wanted to let anyone who’s interested know that the Siren 6 is fully supported through Z-wave JS without the MQTT broker. I can control volume and all other settings direct thought Z-Wave JS and automations by calling the services.

I get this is some time ago but I have got all this working but I cant see how to call one of the switches in an automation

Can anyone give an example how to play a door bell sound please?

This is what I do, but I’m not sure if it is relevant since I use ZHA and things may be different there:

  - service: homeassistant.turn_on
    target:
      entity_id:
        - siren.indoor_siren_6_3
        - siren.zolderbel_3

Thanks for the reply

Managed to call using mqtt but now trying to work out how to stop an alarm

I have HA 2022.6 (core) and separate Zwave JS via MQTT and I have simple switch to set the siren on. One switch for every sound selected.

Wow!! That looks great!! Sorry for the novice question, but how do I import your Node that you shared?

Just by the way: I recently performed a firmware update on the ZW162 using ZwaveJS. I accidentally used the firmware for ZW164. It worked. I’ve been really lucky. :grinning:

ZW162 = Doorbell
ZW164 = Siren

They seems to be identical.

As far as I know the doorbell is a siren packaged together with a button remote. So I’m not really surprised.

I can’t for the life of me get my Siren 6 to play the alarm tone (17) or preset #2 continuously. It plays for a few seconds and then stops. Any hints on how to get it to play until my alarm is disarmed or have say a 30 minute timeout?
