Has anyone gotten Sonos to work as the siren on their home alarm system? I have a Ring but it has a pretty weak siren and would like to get my Sonos to serve this function.

An approach would be to have the RING activate an audio source (a siren recording) connected to a SONOS Line-In set for Autoplay. In my opinion it would be easier (but not as satisfying as a project) to connect an actual siren.

Thanks. Actually, I’d like the Ring alarm to trigger a recording (of a siren) on the much more powerful Sonos speakers when the alarm goes off. Ring allows this for its doorbell, but I have not figured out how to do similar for the Ring alarm.

Any ideas?

Sorry, I’m not a RING user. IFTTT may be an option.
