Eufy Security Alarm Sirens - trigger siren option

[jouster1974]

one of the great things about this integration is to tie all of Eufys products together which is not possible in their native system,....eg I can arm all my wireless cameras (connected wirelessly to my HB2, but I can also arm the wired cameras as well like my C24 and P24 cameras)

I am also able to use the Eufy Floodlights as external alarm sirens, a big benefit as they are loud...and a huge improvement over the paltry sound given off by the cameras and Homebase themselves

I've noticed there is part of the integration to trigger the alarm for a duration, which itself doesn't seem to work as stated....there is a slider but regardless of where that slider is set, the alarm rings for one session which lasts for about 4 seconds, I've currently gotten around this by creating an automation to repeat this process multiple times (you need to set a 5-second delay in between triggers or it fails to fire more than once)....not perfect, but working for sure....is there something specific that I need to do to get this service to work as expected.

Secondly, if I do have the ability to set the duration or by using my existing workaround, is there a service that can be called to turn off the siren....if it is set for say 5 minutes....but I trigger it in error, can I send a signal to stop the siren...cos at the preset time this doesn't appear to be possible.....but I could be mistaken....

again, as a workaround, I have set a button to kill the automation., so it should stop at the next 5-second pause....this fully disables the automation and then re-enables it a few seconds later

Thanks in advance for all you do and have done....great integration

Thanks for detailed write up, i was aware but acting dumb and laying low on this, so it is time to fix.

The sirene was working as expected few weeks ago. Not sure if issue in integration or actually any update from HA itself. I run latest version of all (integration 1.3.0/ha 2023.03.6).
