The siren supports wired inputs for integration with other alarm components:

• When the siren is in the armed state and the wired zone is triggered, the siren will sound the alarm.

6. User Tips

• Compatibility Check: Always verify that your alarm host is a Staniot Secpanel 7 Pro to ensure compatibility with this LoRa version siren.
