There is already some topics regarding this device, but I could not find the answer.
I’m trying to set a different tone for my doorbell. It currently plays the ‘out of the box’ tone, when the doorbell is pressed.
I’ve created items for testing purpose:
Item for tone (number, with mappings) it’s linked to the ‘Sound tone to play’ channel of doorbell1
Item for volume (slider/ dimmer) linked to the volume channel of doorbell1
Created a simple sitemap with these items on it.
Now, when I use the drop-down to change tone, it works. But only when I select a different number. When the ‘playing’ is done, the value resets to the default again automatically.
So my question is, where do i SET the tone, instead of only listening to it?
The device is recognized as: ZW164 Indoor Siren 6 and Doorbell 6
The ‚sound to play‘ item ( what ever version like doorbell1, emergency etc) is always set to 0 ( stop) by the siren when the sound is over. That means, whenever you want to trigger a sound, you have to send a command (1 to 30) to the ‚sound to play‘ item. Volume of the sound can also be changed, every time you trigger the sound. Best practise is to use a rule to send the sound command.
But the button and siren are connected through a 433mhz channel I believe.
Do I understand correctly that I cannot set the tone for the doorbell? Because the button cannot be intercepted…correct?
Yes, that I have, but whenever I do a ‘sendCommand’, e.g. 2, the tone is played. But it is not saved. So when I press the button, the default is played again, instead of tone nr. 2…
