3 Simple Steps to make a LOUD external Eufy sensor triggered siren! (UPDATED 14/3/22 - high reliability Webhooks)

[Pet4712]

We all know the Eufy siren is a JOKE - and useless.

You can get either frustrated with Eufy about what features are missing - or fix the problem yourself.

I have robustly tested Eufy’s security system over a number of months - and it is highly reliable and does not false trigger.

So I just built on what they have supplied to get things like a LOUD siren working with the Eufy system.

I have distilled what I have designed and built into 3 simple steps in this PDF document…

My full document can be found in the post below if you are interested. Once I learnt how easy MacroDroid and eWeLink made life working with - and integrating other systems into the Eufy security system - I was able to take my home security to a whole new level - really quickly - and is now pretty much limited by my imagination…

How to VERY SIMPLY get a Eufy Security System to work with and Control Smart Devices! (You DON'T need IFTTT) - updated 14/3/22

I have been documenting my solution for the integration and control of several security systems using Eufy as the main building building blocks for my own future reference purposes. There is heaps of whinging on this site about Eufy’s security system - but the basic building blocks of the Eufy security system are highly reliable, including their 2C Pro camera - AND CRITICALLY - the system elements do not false-trigger. 3 weeks ago I didn’t know how to fix the following 2 Eufy deficiencies… A.…

UPDATE for high reliability Webhook execution of MacroDroid ACTIONS…

I have found the following gives me highly reliable execution of Webhook URLs. On testing you may not see an eWeLink Scene change from ‘Enable’ to ‘Disable’ - but what you observe is likely NOT the actual operational condition - so don’t get fooled - TEST!

In MacroDroid do the following:

+ ACTION -> Applications - > Open Website - > Paste in the Webhook URL -> then untick ‘URL encode parameters’ and then tick 'HTTP GET (No web browser)'

Hi

It is a shared (read-only) PDF document in my MS OneDrive in the cloud.

I just tested 2 different web browsers I am not logged in with and can display the document in both (the same access permissions that you have) - you should have no issue - it has explanatory graphics - you need to read it in that format.
