How to change device attributes before triggering?

[ptbtx]

I'd like to have my AeoTec chime sound differently for different triggers, e.g. front door, back door, panic. How do I change the device attributes before activating the chime?

Which Aeotec chime do you have? With the Aeotec Doorbell 6 that I have, there's a prebuilt library of 30 chimes.

FWIW, it is pretty simple to setup Rules for each contact/motion sensor that play a different chime. Just use Run Custom Action using the Aeotec doorbell as the device. The Custom Action would be playSound(). Enter the number corresponding to the number of the sound within the library built into the device.

I have the Aeotec Siren 6 which is just the doorbell minus the button. Thank you for the guidance. That looks like it will work. I've not played with RM yet so that will be an adventure

Since RM is HE based (not Homekit based) will I need a virtual switch for each Homekit based motion detector as the trigger? I need to reflect a device back into Homekit via HOOBS/homebridge so am guessing that in Homekit I'd have the motion sensor trigger the virtual switch and then in HE RM it would activate the chime.

Don't double-post, please.

Two motion sensors, one chime, want different chimes for each motion event

NEEDS INFORMATION Does the chime support multiple chime sounds? If so, how? Are there commands for each sound or do you have to use a command to set the sound and then another command to play the sound? The way you asked your question basically excludes everybody from answering unless they go do a bunch of research for you. I don't know anything about HOOBS so I don't know if your sensors are virtual or if they are devices at all. I don't own a Aeotec Siren 6. The vast majority are going…

Sorry, At the time I thought the question was different enough that I should post a different topic but looks like I should have asked the question in the original post.
