I am trying to control the audible alarm on a Ekrano GX using Node Red but sending 1 or 0 doesn’t do anything.
Any suggestions?
A lot of the custom nodes have no function when you inject. Where do you want the audio to come from? If you have a gx device you might want to use the relay control node and install a buzzer or LED.
Do you want to make sounds or do you want to enable/disable sounds?
That node /Settings/Alarm/Audible, only enables or disables the buzzer to make sounds.
Just like “mute sounds” on phones.
Thanks for the inputs. I would like to make a sound/beep/alarm coming from the buzzer of the GX (Ekrano in my case). My understanding is that they do have a buzzer, and I can see some python tests for that buzzer when I access as root to the CLI.
Ultimately, I am trying to see if there is a way to send something to that buzzer from Node Red and/or Signal K.
Set 1 to com.victronenergy.system/Buzzer/State.
You’ll get a short beep from the buzzer and then the above path will automatically go back to 0.
Does not matter how the alarms are, muted or not. (/Settings/Alarm/Audible)

Thank you, that did it.
The sound is very faint though, is there a way to make it louder (for the purposes of an audible alarm) without using a separate/external buzzer?
