OpenSecurity: os_alarm not found

[GameMaster2030 1]

I'm trying to get an alarm system to work, but when I try this code I'm getting an error that os_alarm does not exist in /boot/04_component.lua

local component = require("component")
local sides = require("sides")
rs = component.redstone
alarm = component.os_alarm
yes = true

while yes do
	if rs.getInput(sides.south)>0 then
		alarm.setAlarm("klaxon2")
		alarm.setRange(1-60)
		alarm.activate()
	else
		alarm.setAlarm("klaxon2")
		alarm.setRange(1-60)
		alarm.deactivate()
	end
end

Nevermind, you need to attach it directly. But it doesn't make sound now. I have a redstone card and a lever attached to it. It should work

In the table it also gives one alarm that is atached. This is just weird. Why isn't this working?

please try to change

alarm.setRange(1-60)

to

alarm.setRange(15)

and report back if the issue persists

That worked, thanks. Question, is it possible to activate alarms wireless?

There are none within the mod, but you can do that with OC but it requires knowledge about how things work.

you could use network messages to send a command to the computer which the alarm is connected to. Or (which is more complicated) assemble a Microcontroller with the Alarm inside, which does listen for the network message.

How to use network messages can be read up here: https://ocdoc.cil.li/component:modem

You should start with 2 computers which have a wireless network card, and when you got that running you could look into microcontrollers.

Yeah, I was already thinking about those two things. But thanks for helping me.
