  The siren that Ring sells is made for indoors. You have few choices as to how to get a plug to turn on if the alarm goes off. I use an app called simple commands. You can connect your Ring account and one of the other companies that you can see in the app. The other company needs to have plugs. Then set a routine that when the Ring alarm is triggered, the plug turns on. It very easy to use the app and will give you much more control with the Ring alarm like set times to turn on and off etc. Hope this helps.

  I know this post is old, but wanted to mention a couple things about the Ring siren not being loud enough. First, SimpleCommands no longer works with Ring for anyone trying to use it to automate a smart plug. May not work at all actually. Second, the integration with Alexa now provides an option to make the ring alarm siren louder - indirectly. I just bought 2 Echo Dots and linked them to the Ring alarm via the Alexa app. It works by linking your Ring account to Alexa and then your alarm shows up as a device in the Alexa app. Clicking on the Ring alarm gives you an option to “play security system sounds on Echo devices”. Once you do this, any linked Echo device can play either the alarm system chimes OR the siren. The Echo Dots are plenty loud enough to enhance the siren sound and actually make it loud. Very loud.
