Hw to broadcast a alarm sound

[dragonflyoh]

I have a problem with starlings emptying my bird feeder. An alarm sound will chase them off, however, then any trigger will set off the alarm and I have no need for that. Is there a way to set off an alarm manually? I have BI 5 and my camera supports sound.

I would suggest some research for your specific camera to find out how to send sound files to it. Or does it have a siren ?
The next step may be to combine BI5 with a home automation solution to handle manual/automatic triggering and conditional logic. I use Homeseer with MQQT to get the programs talking to each other.
