How far away are you from the Cerbo? The alarm is in the Cerbo and not in the screen.

Well that is a bad design - if you can put a speaker in an iphone surely you have room in something bigger than an iphone for a loud alarm. Voice announcement would be helpful as well. The cerbo is located in a cabinet.

@atarlecky

You can use a relay on the Cerbo to switch an external buzzer that you can mount where you want it.

When connected to internet, you can also have the system send out emails.

The problem is I am using the relay to control a tank level pump, so until then enable he 2nd relay this does not solve the problem.
