connect external siren to xiaomi mijia / aqara hub/gateway?

Hello 🙂

just starting out with a simple home security system : basically need to monitor 2 doors , maybe attach a single indoor camera and a single motion detection sensor , receive phone notification on app, arm and disable by phone and that’s it. for my needs I found that a minimal setup like xiaomi sensor set , mijia/ aquara hub would be perfect price / hussle wise. but the problem is the sirens aren’t loud. and that’s the most important thing for me: a loud siren to deter theives and alert neighbours , a 120db or something like that.

but I found no clear instructions on the internet, and I suspect that a) no external sirens can be connected to xiaomi gateways and b) no such sirens even exist .

am I on a wild goose hunt? is there a way to make a minimal system like this without breaking the bank?

I REALLY REALLY want to avoid having to setup home assistant and dedicate a server to it. I am technical enough if this requires soldering or home assistant, but I HAVE to be absolutely SURE it is needed before I go down that rabbit hole and dedicate that much effort and time…

Thx in advance!
