Hey,
am trying to use the base station alarm/siren to trigger an additional siren. unfortunately IFTTT does not allow to grab that signal nor did i find an alternative way.
Does anyone have any ideas how to create a routine/set-up for this task or even would know whether any of the 4 pins inside the base station could provide such a signal? and no - i don’t want to take the signal from the cameras as i want this alarm only when the base station is armed.thanks

If you know how, you could use the leads off the alarm speaker to trigger an external alarm.... but this is an outside the box treatment and would void any warranty.

i opened the base station already (don’t care about the guarantee as i need to find a solution). the issue is that the siren is a piezo element, ie the signal not clean but “wavy”. hence i hope that i can find a work around either via IFTTT or from the pins on the circuit board ....
