Use the siren on the Amcrest AD410 #194

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.

jds11111 commented 2 years ago

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

rroller commented 2 years ago

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