Use the siren on the Amcrest AD410

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No, not at all. Just a useful feature.

Describe the solution you'd like The Amcrest Pro View app has a button for triggering a siren on the doorbell, in order to annoy the neighbors. However, it would be very useful as part of a security alarm system (e.g., Alarmo). It would be great if there were a switch entity in the integration to allow that.

Describe alternatives you've considered Not using the siren?

Additional context It is trivial to make a feature request, but not always easy to implement. Wish I knew how to help with that.

I am not sure if the api command to turn the siren on is even known. I haven't seen it in the API specs from amcrest.

Probably the only way to do that is to hack the app.

Yeah I've been unable to find the API to trigger the siren
