Original comments:
"You can get programmable light and sound systems that could be used in conjunction with the LiveHeats API to activate exact 5min and heat start/finish."
We have done the siren but not the lights. Moving lights to a new item: https://liveheats.canny.io/feedback/p/link-heat-timer-to-a-lights-system-for-surfing

Hi all, we are planning to do work on a digital siren sound. This will be automated based on the schedule and event remote (Start button), and can be played through your speakers at the beach.
Initial plan is:
• Digital siren sound will be an option for all divisions with a heat countdown timer
• The sound will come out of the device's default speakers, whether that is the device itself (computer/tablet/phone) or connected speakers, such as by cable or bluetooth
• The sound will be produced on any director page displaying the event remote
• The digital siren must be toggled on, it will not be on by default
• If on, when the "Start" button is pressed the digital siren sounds once
• When the timer reaches 00:00 the digital siren sounds twice
• Pressing "Undo" does not trigger the siren
• If an action is undone and then restarted, the siren will sound once
These are notes from the initial plan for the feature - any and all of the above may change at any time.
We'd love to hear your comments!

Automate horn and flag for judged events with timer
F

We would love to have the timer incorporated to LiveHeats to have both the horn and flags automated.
In our sport, kayak surfing, we use horns and flags this way:
- At the beginning of the heat: 1 honk and green flag.
- When there are 5 minutes left to finish the heat: 2 honks and yellow flag
- At the end of the heat: 3 honks and red flag. From the end of the heat until the next one starts: red color.
Our idea is the following: Create a new link (as you have with the preferences), which by connecting a device to a screen via HDMI emits the color of the flag and via Jack to some speakers, emits honks that correspond to each moment of the heat, being programmable depending on the time parameter.
We would appreciate your comments regarding this request.
