networx alarm siren goes off when disarmed

Now this is a Z-Wave Siren, which means technically, it should work with Lyric System, and I'm going to show you guys how to include this and add it into the system so that it actually sounds off whenever an alarm goes off. Today I'm going to be going over how to add this IQ Qolsys IQ Z-Wave Siren to the Lyric Alarm System. Hey, DIYers, I'm George from Alarm Grid. Each scene should be named appropriately so that it can be easily recognized later. The burglary alarm and fire alarm scenes should have the 'switch' set to On, while the alarm clear scenes should have the switch set to Off. One for activating the siren during burglary alarms, one for activating the siren during fire alarms and one turning off the siren when an alarm is cleared and the system is disarmed. Most users will create the rules and scenes through Total Connect 2.0. The device is technically recognized by the system as a light switch so users should keep that in mind when configuring the rules and scenes. As a Z-Wave device, the siren needs to be included with rules and scenes so that it activates during alarm events and shuts off when the alarm is cleared. This will clear any device settings and ensure that it can pair with the system successfully.īut it's not enough to just enroll the Qolsys IQ Siren with the Lyric. Like all Z-Wave devices, you should exclude it from the network before attempting to enroll. But one consideration when using the Qolsys IQ Siren with the Lyric is that it must be set up as a Z-Wave device. It is also louder than the wireless Honeywell SiXSIREN that can also interface with the system. The Qolsys IQ Siren produces sounds of up to 105 dB this is considerably louder than the 85 dB sounder built into the Lyric Panel. However, it will require special rules and scenes to be set up with the Lyric System to work properly.

As a Z-Wave device the Qolsys IQ Siren will work with essentially any Z-Wave controller. In this video, Jorge shows users how they can set up a Qolsys IQ Z-Wave Siren with a Honeywell Lyric System.
