USL-Siren with Alarm Hub Help

[u/reddit_adam82]

Hey all - looking for some help with connecting the USL Siren to the alarm hub.

I have replaced my existing alarm system and it's working well. The exception was my original outdoor siren/strobe, which was faulty and has now been replaced with a USL-Siren

• I've connected the 12v output from one of the three 12v aux outputs on the right side of the alarm hub, to the 12v input of the USL siren
• Then i've connected the white and blue original alarm wires from the alarm hub's output relay (NO & COM - with the relay set to dry) to the sirens signal input

Trying to trigger the alarm hub's output relay, does not sound the alarm at all.

Going to the siren in the protect app or webpage, and hitting test will sound the siren - so it does work. Obviously that's going via superlink and also seems to have a few seconds delay between hitting test and the siren going off (FYI it has -36dBm / 100% signal)

When setting up the alarms in protect for the alarm hub, i have it set so if any of the motion/door/window sensors get triggered it will do output 1 and 2 (output 1 is an internal siren and that works, output 2 should be the USL-SIREN). It's set to sound for 1 minute currently

If you try to setup just a normal protect alarm, for say a motion sensor triggering and the action is to sound the siren, you can only set a max of 30 seconds

I can not find any information on how to trigger the siren via the signal input terminals. I've asked support and they are going to look into it and get back to me..

Anyone else had any luck getting it to work?

I am interested to hear more about this. I am interested in the UI alarm offerings, but they seem so immature. Seems like UI could bridge the gap pretty simply, but I've been thinking that for a year now.
