Description
### The problem
- Model: Reolink E1 Zoom
- Firmware: v3.2.0.4741_2503281992
- Hardware: IPC_NT14NA48MPSD6
- Integration entry created via standard config flow (RTSP), siren._sirena entity is created and reports supported_features: 27
- Calling siren.turn_on on this entity produces no audible alarm and the entity state stays stuck on unknown (never transitions to on)
- The siren/alarm does work correctly when triggered from the official Reolink mobile app on the same physical camera — confirms this is not a hardware limitation, but an integration-side command/response issue
- Camera reports "siren" and "siren_play" in its capability list (GetAiCfg/abilities dump), so the ability flag is present but the command apparently isn't reaching the device correctly, or the response isn't parsed
