Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

With version 2.0.0 only Battery_low and Alarm entity is available in HA for Livisi Innensirenen. Notification and feedback ("Soundtypen" Rückmeldung/Benachrichtigung) cannot be used directly from HA.

Describe the solution you'd like

Please add notification and feedback switches for sirens (hint: in openHAB this is already available, so it should be somehow possible).

Describe alternatives you've considered

Current workaround: trigger livisi scenarios via VariableActuator switches (Zustände in Livisi).

Additional context

Screenshot from openHAB:

Can you explain what these do? I have seen the properties, but I have no idea how they work or what they configure.
When trying to find out, I alarmed my whole house because I accidentally started the siren multiple times…

[FJJT01]

You can set 3 different sound events (out of 16 available sounds) that can be used for different purposes.

In the openhab screenshot they are switches though, and in livisi multi-select boxes.

What exactly is the use case? Isn't this just a configuration? We don't want to mirror all configuration of the Livisi SHC in home assistant, just things that are useful for automation, ui/dashboard/homekit/alexa switching or data logging.

[FJJT01]

The screen shot from Livisi just shows the setup of sounds to a siren. To trigger these different 3 soundevents, they can be selected in a scene/automation. from HA it is currently only possible to trigger the siren alarm. The 2 other cannot be triggered by an HA-automation.

The missing switches can be used in HA automations, possible usecases:

• Alarm Sound triggered by intrusion or smoke detection
• Feedback Sound triggered by arming/disarming alarm (switch would be set to on for a couple of seconds and then switched off by automation)
• Notification Sound triggered by door bell activation (switch would be set to on for a a while of until house door is opened and then switched off by automation)

As I don't have a siren device, I see myself unable to test this. If someone can test the ai generated code in the sirensounds branch, I'd be willing to merge it.

[FJJT01]

I can test it but i don't know how to install a version from another branch.

[FJJT01]

just copy&pasted the content of const.py, siren.py and switch.py.
after ha restart i got 2 new entities (Feedback and Notification):

Each of the 3 switches (Innensirene, Feedback and Notification) called the right sound configured in the local livisi backend (SHC1). So it is working as expected! Good Job :-)

Thanks for testing!
