HUB M3: not available as siren device

On the M3 product page, a section claims that

“The hub’s 95dB speaker functions as an Aqara HomeAlert siren or for announcements,”

(one of the reasons I bought it over an Apple HomePod).

However, when I’m setting up the Aqara security alert system and go into ‘alarm devices’ the hub is not showing up as an option.

Does anyone know how I add it as a siren?

I have a network rack in my garage, with Aqara door sensors on the garage doors. The hub will live in the rack and I want it to scream and shout if the sensors are triggered if the system is armed.

Is there a comprehensive guide anywhere with info on how to use the hubs advanced features like it learning etc? The manual is a bit sparse!

Turns out I needed to connect the hub by Ethernet and all the options appeared. Now running on Ethernet/poe and working as it should.
