Audiable Alarm

[Kirk Lawson]

Thanks for the heads up.  I was hoping to find someplace in the control   
scripts that I could stick it in, since my sh skills are still somewhat   
new.  I've created an infinitely looping script that will make the   
required noises, but getting it to respond to a START/STOP command is a   
bit more difficult and may be beyond my current sh level.

Guess I'll have some more work to do.

Suggestions and examples are welcome.

Peace favor your sword,

If you define a resource (a script) that produces an audiable alarm
then this can be specified in the ha-resources file and will
be started and stoped.
