Hi @markgoza welcome to the community!

dlpsr is right. Right now this functionality doesn't exist. The entry sensor by default will chime when a door is opened but it isn't the siren feature you're looking for.

The closest setting is Secret Alert which will allow you to receive a notification that the door has been triggered, but won't set off an alarm in the process. For example, many parents will put this on their office doors or liquor cabinets to get discreet notifications in the event that entry sensor has been triggered.

If the siren can sound when the door is opened in the Home mode and simlisafe is notified, can i just instruct them to ignore that door alarm not not any others that happen?  This is why I bought the system and if I can't get that door alarm to work independently of the rest of the alarms as promised by the sales tech I will box it all up and send it back and get something else.

@markgoza​ Our Monitoring Center cannot ignore alarms triggered by specific sensors. Whenever an alarm signal is sent, our monitoring agents will contact you.
