DIY alarm - Hive Siren box

🛎️ Get Help
#1

Hi,
Wanted to use my existing motion sensors and door sensors to build an alarm system I could use with geofencing to automatically activate and managed to pickup a second hand Hive siren (sometimes called hive homeshield siren) for cheap.
It's ZigBee and managed to get it to connect to the hub but can't find a universal or driver which works with it.
It also has a bright led light which is useful and can be switched on and off if selected the dimmer driver but there is not a driver I have found which works with the siren sound

Anyone able to help please?

I can’t any other zigbee coordinator that the Hive siren uses. Do you know if it is ZHA1.2 or zigbee 3.0, which would be needed for it to work with Hubitat?

#3

I'm not sure, but I don't think it's new enough to be zigbee. 3.0

#4

I don’t think it is ZHA 1.2 either. It’s some other profile. Hubitat supports ZHA1.2 and by extension zigbee 3.0.

They may also support zigbee pro.

#5

Actually saying that it only got released in 2020/2021 so would it be zigbee 3.0? If it is what does that mean?

#6

Anyone else able to help?

#7

Bump?

#8

I can't find it as a zigbee 3.0 certified device. Also, the documentation you linked to indicates it was available earlier (perhaps 2017?). There's also no indication of ZHA1.2 or zigbee 3.0 compatibility - so I suspect it is using a proprietary zigbee profile.
