I would like my tablet to behave like my old system. When I set the alarm I would like a beeping noise giving me 30 seconds audible notification that the system is arming. I would also like it to start beeping when I enter the room to remind me to turn off the alarm before the siren goes off. Can anyone help me to achieve this goal?
Not being tech savy, could you provide me a step by step instruction how to make this happen. It would make my wife extremely happy.

Yeah, Hubitat can do it. Plus their community support is awesome. Fair warning, if you're not particularly tech savvy Hubitat is pretty involved; it does not have a pretty dashboard app off the shelf, you have to go in and design it from the ground up. I glanced through the ST community forum and I couldn't see a way to make a tone work without some sort of custom driver with how the current SMH works.
That being said, and I'm definitely giving Hubitat a recommendation here, if you're willing to go through the forums and work a little with the software, Hubitat lands you a rock solid automation platform that doesn't fall victim to random cloud outages (or, at least not for the foreseeable future according to the admins, subscription fees or no automation i.e. Wink).
In a nutshell, because it won't make much sense unless you have a HE hub and start setting up some rules, you do the following:
