It's all in your modes and rules. Edit your modes/rules and use the Add Device selection to be able to enable the siren.

Yes I saw that under mode but there is only three options:

1) Do nothing
2) Record Video
3). Activate alarm

I want video AND alarm. Only lets me check one box not two?

I'm not using a Go but can't you add actions so one action records and a second one turns on the alarm? Maybe create a new custom mode to see if that works.

Great minds think alike. Yes I made a custom mode and still no alarm: (

I just tested this in the custom modes flow and was able to select both record and activate alarm. Which client are you using that is behaving this way?
