This is product is discontinued and has been replaced by the ZSE50 Siren & Chime: What does that mean?
Documentation for the new ZSE50 Siren & Chime can be found here: ZSE50 Knowledge Base
Because the device was discontinued before SmartThings moved from the groovy platform to the lua platform, we will not be creating custom code for the new SmartThings platform for this device. The new architecture is still unstable enough that we need to continue making adjustments for all of our active products continuously, both on the code and documentation side which is draining the resources around platform integration.
Some basic functionality is maintained for the ZSE19, but since this device is multifunctional and supports Z-Wave command classes that are not included in the SmartThings catalog, much of the functionality is not available on the SmartThings hub any longer.
IMPORTANT: If you'd like to change the volume of the audio file played in your new automation, please set it BEFORE programming the rule: click on the MultiSiren in the SmartThings app, click on the 3 dots in the top right corner, scroll down to the Chime Volume setting and select the volume level, then exit the settings for the new volume level to save. Only now proceed with the below steps to program the automation.
Here's how to create a rule using the audio speaker functionality:
- Go to Automations in your SmartThings app
- Tap the + button in the top right corner > tap Add Routine
- Tap Discover (the tab at the bottom of the screen)
- Scroll down and choose Speaker Companion from the list
- Choose Play a Notification
- Choose Custom Message > select Done
- Input the sound number you want to play under Play this message (see sound numbers below) > tap Done
- Tap On this Speaker Player > select Multisiren > select Done
- Under When, choose the type of event you want to assign the notification to. For example, select Motion Here and then the motion sensor you want to automate. Select Done.
- Review the additional options to see if you'd like to customize the rule further. Rename the rule if you'd like.
- Select Done
