hAP ac² model has no speaker. can I add a speaker to this model myself to get sound?
if possible, what voltage is needed for the speaker?
Are there any proven speaker models with aliexpress?
.
You could add an raspi-zero-pi to the usb-port, configure it as an usb-ip-node and a syslog-receiver.
Then … for every event you need a sound … you generate a syslog-message, which you can translate via ‘logwatch’ or something similiar into a special noise.
Very soon you have grown youself a respectible duck-pond !
(howtos for sound engine of the raspi-zero is avail in the forums over there).
can you just solder the speaker to the board? Why should I rassberry if there is an easier way?
I think I need to use a simple passive microphone, but I’m not sure, I need help to find out for sure.
can you just solder the speaker to the board?
… not me … you could do it yourself. But what is highly questionable: can that lead to a fruitful result ?
Odds that you ruin the board with such shenanigans are quite high.
Why not selling the board and have a beeping one instead.
Interchanging non-beeping boards into beeping boards may be also not the main pupose of this very forum (whilst having a beep is a legit wanting on gods earth … no question).
So far, I have no idea how to identify a point on the hardwarebord where a beeper could brought to duty. Guess plans of the board-layout are somewhere on multiple harddisks, but I doubt the owners of these disks are willing to send you a copy (not only because they are not fully briefed about your soldering skills). But … we never know !
Let’s just wait, what’s happening further !

no predefined place on this board for a buzzer … looks bad for a beeping hAP ac^2

you seem to be right, there is no place to solder the beeper
