Searched the Z-Wave database, found lots of sirens, but not what I'm looking for.

I still have an ancient X-10 chime (ding-dong, ding-dong, dong-ding) to announce motion outside (once) as well as a garage door opening (twice), and actually for a water leak in the house (ten times).

It is still working fine, but will crump some day.

Anyone know of a simple Z-Wave box that will issue, perhaps a variety of, identifiable chimes for various states?

I suppose you could go with the various talking boxes, but I am loathe to install any device that could also listen and send to the cloud, everything that is said in the house.

Also an Aeotec Siren 6, similar functions, but it is 500 series.

If you pick one up, could you post a review. It looks promising, especially with the ability to add custom sounds

For sure, will do. I have ordered the Ecolink, shipping listed as 1 week. There is an Amazon review specifically noting success using it with an ISY.

Ships from Ecolink ...

@oskrypuch

Do you know if it installs a separate node for each sound option?

No, you call a sound routine node and supply a value to select the sound.

Sounds
There are 30 included sounds within the Chime+Siren, and the device can play sounds from the SD card either overriding the build-in sounds or adding to them.
Sounds are played with the Sound Switch Command Class, the Basic Command Class, and optionally with the Indicator Command Class. Volume is controlled
with the buttons, the Configuration Command Class, and the Sound Switch Command Class.
When a sound is played with the Basic Command Class and Indicator Command Class, then it plays at the current configured volume level. The primary and
recommend method for playing sounds is via the Sound Switch Command Class which can also be used to retrieve the name of a particular sound.

Looks to be exactly what I'm looking for, in Z-Wave. Never found anything like this in Insteon.

Individually addressable, identifiable, sounds that I can use to indicate state.

The old X10 ding-donger has been working without fail for perhaps twenty years now, but it may crump, and in any case having multiple varying sounds would really improve functionality.
