PROGRAMMING FROM BUTTONS

While it’s recommended to program your device from the hub’s UI, you can also select the sounds and adjust volume using the programming mode on the device itself. Here is how it works:

 

 

Z-WAVE CONTROL

 

There are 2 methods to add the siren to your hub. 

SmartStart: use the hub UI / app to scan the SmartStart code on the device. The SmartStart QR code and security PIN are located on top of the siren so you can easily scan the code when the device is plugged in. Simply power the device for SmartStart inclusion, it will be added automatically. On SmartThings, you may need to tap the + button on the siren 3 times quickly to complete the inclusion process. See below for hub-specific instructions.

 

Manual Inclusion: initiate inclusion (pairing) in the app or hub UI. Make sure the device is powered and finalize the inclusion at the siren: tap the + button on the device 3 times quickly.
