Wireless Z-Wave Battery-Powered Dome Home Security Siren & Chime Alarm System for Smart Home Automation - Perfect for Home Security, Garage Alerts & Smart Device Integration

This review is based on deploying this product with Smartthings. This product has tremendous flexibility, and has the potential to provide a chime and siren with 10 different tones and 3 different volume levels. It can mount anywhere and it uses two CR2450 batteries. It is not an extremely loud alarm. If a loud alarm is one of your top priorities. I suggest you look at the Aeotec Gen 5 Z-Wave Siren.The Dome, identical to the Zooz, has the new Z-wave Plus 500 chip for increased performance, and can be setup in SmartThings to allow multiple devices to use the chime, with each capable of playing different tones. I have mine configured to play one chime tone when the Garage door is opened, via multi sensor on door, and another when the mail delivers, via open/close Sensor. It also allows you add it to routines as a siren. The siren is configured with its own tone and the volume level can be different from the chime.SmartThings Specific info: The device works with SmartThings, but it requires a custom device handler. The good news is one available on the SmartThings member site. When added to your Smartthings hub with this device handler, it can function as both a siren and chime. The chime is activated by including it in Smartapps as a dimmable light (when sensor activated turn light on), You select one of the 10 tones by setting the dimmer level (10% - 100% - every ten percent plays a different tone).If you aren't super familiar with custom device handlers and how to use one, i'll provide some helpful instructions.Note: I'm including the following info to help others evaluate the products complete capabilities on SmartThings. Without this info many will likely feel the product falls short or may return the product:- Find Dome Chime device handler code and copy code.- using a PC signon to your SmartThings account (should see My Locations, My Hubs, My Devices Etc)- Select My Device Handlers, and click 'Create New Device Handler'- At next screen select 'From Code' tab and paste the copied device Handler code- select 'create', then in the upper right select 'Publish' 'for me'This has just created the new Device Handler. Now you need to go into devices:- open the Dome chime- Select edit (Dome Chime or name you initially added it with to Smartthings via mobile app).- change type to Dome Smart Chime and save.You have now created the Device Handler and have configured the Dome device to use it.This product is almost identical to the Zooz Chime, and the required configuration is the same. I now own both and wrote a similar review for the Zooz Chime, with instructions on how to create the custom device Handler. There were a few good question I answered on the Zooz review regarding the setup, and these may prove helpful. For addition information I suggest reading the review I wrote (Jeff) on the Zooz Chime and take a look at the questions and answers (see review at: http://a.co/iuVjghp ).Hope this helps for those considering product for Smartthings use.
