Use chime as a siren for Ring Alarm

It would be cool to use the Ring chime for doorbells as a siren for the alarm system. This can amplify the alarm even if it is not that loud. Better yet with the 2nd generation chime pro it can flash its nightlight while it emits a siren like sound.

    I think it would be helpful if a user had the option to choose their Ring Chime and Ring Chime Pro as items that can alert when a door/window is opened and be able to customize when these alerts are heard (Disarmed/Home/Away) along with volume and more.

      It would be super convenient if the chime could be configured to make the sound when a door windows open with the ring alarm. Additionally the sound of arming and disarming that normally comes from the base could come from the chime

        I second this suggestion plus ask that all the scheduling that you can do for camera alerts be added to the contact sensors, either the window/door contact sensors or the Retrofit Alarm Kit. Sometimes you want some alert or notice but not the alarm siren to sound.

      This would be great since it's all in 1 app. So if Chimes also played alarm audio as well as open notification audio.

        There needs to be a way to sync the chime pro with the alarm base station so that you can purchase multiple chime pro and place them throughout your home. This will allow you to hear the doorbell whether you’re in your garage, basement, or a bedroom. And syncing it with the alarm system means that whenever someone opens a door or window you would be able to hear the alerts whether you’re in your garage, basement, bedroom etc. My base station is in 1 room and at night I cannot hear any of the alerts if someone was coming or going. And having 3 kids it’s a nice ring of security to be notified via audible tone that someone has opened a bedroom window or back door at 3 in the morning. Currently this cannot be done.

          I agree, when someone opens a door, the "chirp" should also be heard from chime devices in addition to the base station and keypads. This way the chime would serve the same functionality for the security system as it does for the doorbell. In a large building you don't need alarm keypads all over the place, but it would be nice to hear when a door has opened when you are not near the door. This would be especially useful in a small business situation, which Ring is now advertising its use for.
