Automatic controls for electromechanical siren

A method comprising:

• providing an electromechanical siren comprising a siren and an electric motor;
• providing an automatic operation switch;
• receiving, by one or more processors, an indication that a user has activated the automatic operation switch from an open position to a closed position;
• in response to receiving the indication of the automatic operation switch being activated into the closed position, activating the electric motor such that the electric motor drives the siren of the electromechanical siren;
• allowing the electric motor to run for a first non-zero duration of time;
• while the automatic operation switch remains in the closed position, and after the expiration of the first non-zero duration of time, deactivating the electric motor such that the electric motor ceases to drive the siren of the electromechanical siren;
• and
• allowing the electric motor to stay deactivated for a second non-zero duration of time.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors of a computing device to:

• receive an indication that a user has activated an automatic operation switch from an open position to a closed position;
• in response to receiving the indication of the automatic operation switch being activated into the closed position, activate an electric motor such that the electric motor drives a siren of an electromechanical siren;
• allow the electric motor to run for a first non-zero duration of time;
• while the automatic operation switch remains in the closed position, and after the expiration of the first non-zero duration of time, deactivate the electric motor such that the electric motor ceases to drive the siren of the electromechanical siren;
• and
• allow the electric motor to stay deactivated for a second non-zero duration of time.
