Installation of Iris Siren and Vivint Skycontrol Panel

[BranMaxDaddy]

I read a few postings a while back stating that the Iris Siren at Lowes was compatible with the system.

My only option to install in SkyControl has been using the Z-wave option, add Node. this places a button in my app to manually turn off and on the siren. Unfortunately, when testing the siren, it does not work when my SkyControl siren goes off. So I am thinking that my installation is bad.

Does anyone have advice on how to successfully install the siren in SkyControl? Thanks in advance!

You need to set an automation rule that when the alarm goes off it turns on your siren(shows as a dimmer) to 100% and turn off 15 mins later or whatever. It will never simply mirror the siren as the siren is not in the home automation logic section of the panel.
