I have a half-dozen X10-triggering motion sensors, and I want to be able to announce a custom (or at least differentiated) chime for each unit code that they broadcast. Currently I can only differentiate two zones, by using two different X10-driven chimes (a chime module and an annoying 30-second "Rex10" barking dog alarm that at least has a volume knob). Isn't there a product that will play custom/differentiated chimes that let you identify the disturbed zone? Two other requirements: I don't want to dedicate a 24/7 computer to this, and I want the sounds played in multiple rooms.
The closest thing I can find is http://www.voicealert.com/. Isn't there an X10/Insteon device that can be programmed to play a given sound when a given unit code is transmitted?

You could possibly use a universal module with a unit like this musical doorbell. (http://www.musicaldoorbell.com/) May be a bit pricey at $49.95 plus the cost of a universal module, but it is an option.

I run a Home Automation Computer 24/7. I use BVC (http://www.davesdomainonline.com/bvc/bvc.htm) on my computer (although other program can also do voice announcements). This allows me to use/run any number of warning and/or alerts. I just type what I want the computer to say.. when an X10 code is sent/received.
A good example is my activity detected macro.... YouTube Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkAwQ4KXkHA). I play that warning/alert outside as well as inside... to warn away any tresspassers.
