Title: Is there a siren that works with Almond 2015 and Almond+?
Post by: td0g on April 10, 2017, 10:40:47 am

Hi, can anyone suggest zigbee siren that works with both the Almond 2015 and Almond+?

Is this the one that you have?  https://www.amazon.ca/Aeon-Labs-Aeotec-Z-Wave-ZW080-A17/dp/B00PKKM2HO

Aeon Labs / Aeotech gear is Z Wave. A2015 is Zigbee unless you add a Z Wave dongle which, unless I am mistaken, isn't supported at this time.

I'll add to that, you aren't talking about wanting a single siren device that will work with an A+ and A2015 at the same time are you? That won't work under any circumstance. You will need a separate device for each Almond.

Hi, thanks I realised soon after I asked the question that I would need two zigbee or one zigbee and one z-wave to do what I want.  It's starting to look like it's cheaper just to get another Almond+ than to try to accommodate the 2015 with zigbee devices.

I'd consider the Almond 3. Its newer and supports Z Wave via dongle out of the box. Also has a siren built in. I like the device and I have all the various devices.
