My Aeotec Siren 6 devices started to fire randomly or not at all after Hubitat updated to the Aeotec Siren 6 New device driver.

As a last resort before ditching my Siren 6 devices in favor of the Dome siren, I made an attempt to migrate Kevin LaFramboise’s Aeotec Siren 6 SmartThings device handler to Hubitat:

krlaframboise/SmartThings/blob/master/devicetypes/krlaframboise/aeotec-siren-6.src/aeotec-siren-6.groovy

I replaced all instances of physicalgraph with hubitat per instructions on the Hubitat community forum:

App and driver porting to Hubitat

I thought I'd jot down a few of the driver porting changes I've encountered. Please add additional ones you find to this list. Replace physicalgraph with hubitat Replace variables beginning with data with device.data Add to params calls that give a java error the following before headers: requestContentType: "application/json", Replace pause(int) with pauseExecution(long) (units are milliseconds) include ‘asynchttp_v1’ is not supported - comment this out and replace affected code with syn…

Although I was expecting Hubitat to throw errors after installing the migrated device driver, I was pleasantly surprised that the migrated Siren 6 driver worked! The chime works by invoking “beep(), siren with siren(), and siren and strobe with both(). So far I have not encountered any problems, and the random firing of the siren has stopped. Neat! Thanks, Kevin!

I created a Github repository (my first) to share Kevin's Aeotec Siren 6 driver migrated to Hubitat.
