Siren 6 has the capability to store 8 different default sounds/volumes which can be easily adjusted once Siren 6 has been added to Home Assistant with Z-Wave JS. Once you adjust the sound/volume of the individual saveable default settings, you can automate Siren or Doorbell 6 using any other connected device as a trigger in your automation.
