I've reconnected my old VMB4500 and now have both 4500 and 5000. However, I can activate the siren on the web for both the 4500 and my Ultras, all at the same time, but when I use the app, only the Ultras sound the alarm. Surely it's not meant be like that, is it? 

Thanks in advance.

@Edinburgh_lad1 Thanks for reporting this, does it occur every time?  let me look in to this to see if I can replicate and I'll report back as soon as possible.

I can't check that now because after my base station showed it was online, now it shows as offline. However, I'm awaiting trial firmware so I hope I'll be able to provide more detail.

I've just brought my VMB4500 out of retirement to use it as a siren. I performed the case mod detailed a few years ago in these forums to increase the loudness. For some reason the designers put the siren in a sealed box.

I cut a couple of small holes in the feet so I could access the screws without having to remove the rubber.

When I want to activate the siren on vmb4500 from within the app, it's not working. My Ultras sound the alarm but not the base station. (Please note that I have both VMB5000 and VMB4500 currently connected and only the former has devices connected to it.)

 

When I activate the siren via the web, the siren on the Ultras and the siren on VMB4500 activate.

 

So, something different with the app with the vmb4500 in that it doesn't activate the siren.
