I have configured my ISY Portal to leverage IFTTT. I've configured it so if my ring doorbell is pressed, it created the web services call via IFTTT to turn an outlet on. My thought is, on this outlet, enable some type of "chime". So, when chime is powered, it will make a noise. I have existing doorbell/chime or wiring for it.

 

Any thoughts on how to do this?

 

I hoped to make it turn Sonos on or something, but it seems that isn't possible with the way IFTTT works with ISY Portal as it can only turn a device on.

How about an X10 chime?

I do it with an old Android tablet that reads aloud pushover messages.

Maybe I'm not understanding what you are saying, but IFTTT can run a program on the ISY, which then can do anything ISY can do.

I am trying to do something similar.  I have the sonos part working but not the doorbell part (waiting for z-wave multi-channel support... ugh, been waiting since November when I realized my sensor was not compatible).

If you have many insteon devices already installed, try this:

Beep - [ID 0110][Parent 0001]

If
   - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition')
 
Then
        Set 'Living Room / LightSwitch ' 2 (Beep Duration) 
        Set 'Bedroom / LightSwitch ' 2 (Beep Duration)

Else
        Set Scene 'All My Lights' Beep
 
This program causes a BEEP noise from controllers which support BEEP.

Basically you pick a scene with a lot of Beep-enabled devices (e.g. lightswitches) in it, and call "Beep" on that scene.
