Description ▼
The Aeotec Doorbell 6 (ZW162) is a Z-Wave Plus indoor chime and siren with a wireless Button for the door. Press the Button and the chime plays one of 30 pre-loaded tones — 8 doorbell chimes, plus safety and security alerts. Aeotec’s technical specification rates the speaker at up to 105 dB measured from 5 cm, and the chime includes bright visual lighting (Aeotec’s store listing also describes a 110 dB chime/siren and 1,000-lumen lighting). It is powered by Aeotec’s Gen5 platform with Z-Wave S2 security, and a built-in rechargeable backup battery keeps the chime running for up to 4 hours if power is lost. This listing is the US 908.4 MHz version (ZW162-A).
