Water Sensor to Wireless Siren
There needs to be an option for an alarm/sound from the extra siren when there is a water sensor alarm. My base station is downstairs and my bedrooms is upstairs (hence the siren). I need a way to be notified of a water sensor alarm if there is a leak while I am asleep. I am not planning to pay for monitoring, so from what I understand, I will not receive a phone call if there is a leak. I specifically purchased the siren, so I could hear alarms upstairs. I am considering returning the water sensors and looking for an alternative that better meets my needs. If this is implemented, it should definitely have a different sound than the regular alarm, so you don't wake up thinking there's an intruder.

@keelyc84 As I do have monitoring, I did get a phone call on a leak with my sump pump, but if I remember correctly (this was about 3 years ago) the base also gave a verbal warning that was quite loud and could be heard throughout the house "Water leak detected". My base is on the 2nd floor and I was in the basement and could hear it. My base is set to high volumbe setting, is yours?

@keelyc84 Thank you for this suggestion, I have sent it to our dev team! Currently, when an Entry, Motion, or Glassbreak Sensor triggers an alarm the Extra Siren will sound, but right now it does not when a Water Sensor is triggered. Once we hear any news from our dev team on this, we'll provide an update in this thread.
As Captain11 suggested, I would also check the Base Station's alarm volume and set it to High if it is not already. This can be done in the Keypad by navigating to Menu > enter Master PIN > System Settings > Siren Volume > High. The Base Station does ding when a Water Sensor is triggered, so setting its volume to High should help hear it easier.
