I think is the new one, will tell you when arrives
Hello.
Just got today a brand new Xiaomi Cube to play around. It looks quite nice and adding it to the gateway was a piece of cake.
In Home Assistant, is there any way to be able to understand which event is being triggered? Entity state seems to be always off (Binary sensor?).
Still then, if I activate debug mode for Xiaomi component, I can see different events being triggered as I try them:

I suppose this means that HA is properly capturing the cube motion events.
What I’d like would be to get this status information into HA frontend. Is that even possible using @Danielhiversen repo?
Thanks in advance.

And you can dim your light. But the code is bogus because the brightness attribute is not available if my light is off. Because of this fact I have to turn on the light first before I can dim the light with the cube. May be somebody can improve it:
- alias: Set brightness by rotating cube
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: cube_action
event_data:
entity_id: binary_sensor.cube_158d00011a052e
action_type: rotate
action:
service: light.turn_on
data_template:
entity_id: light.couch
brightness: >
{% set state = states.light.couch.attributes.brightness|int + ((trigger.event.data.action_value|float)*1.25)|int -%}
{%- if state > 255 -%}
{%- set state = 255 -%}
{%- elif state < 0 -%}
{%- set state = 0 -%}
{%- endif %}
{{ state }}

Very cool… how do you upload sounds to the gateway?
Thanks,
Tom

It’s a feature of the Mi Home app: Select the gateway from the list view of “My devices” → Switch to “devices” at the top navigation → select the gateway again → Ringtone settings → Doorbell ring tone → Add ringtone → Phone music list → All audio files of your android smartphone will be listed, select a audio file → Confirm with “Yes” in the top right corner.
I uploaded a bunch of short notification sounds which can be accessed by the high ringtone ids (> 100001).

@Danielhiversen just merged the new feature (curtain device support): https://github.com/Danielhiversen/homeassistant/pull/20
Is there any model with UE Plug? Thanks 
Looks like I need to find an Android device - no worky on my iPhone.
Thanks for the instructions!
IOS instructions below…
Mi Home app: Select the relevant gateway from the list view of “My devices” -> Switch to “Device” at the top navigation -> select the gateway again -> Ringtone settings -> Door bell tone -> Press to record (make sure you hold on till you finish recording) -> save -> input name and Confirm. I forgot if need to press upload button after that or not.

… and that worked perfectly. Thanks!
How did you determine the ringtone id? Are you limited to just the ringtones or can you play anything that is uploaded to the gateway?
Thanks!
If I understood it correctly, it should be all. Probably @syssi can help more as I have not used the sound in HA yet.

You can upload any audio file to the gateway. Your first upload is the 100001. The second 100002 and so on. 
In my case the files are short notification sounds and they stops playing on its own. Real ringtones (lower numbers) are endless loops and you have to call the stop service.

My gateway ringtones stop after about 5 seconds. How can I have a loop with the normal gateway?
Oh, you are right. There is no loop.
action:
- service: script.turn_on
entity_id: script.play_sound
data:
variables:
ringtone_vol: 8
ringtone_id: 10003
How do I get service: “script.turn_on” ?
Thanks (I’m such a noob!)
Oooh, no. I posted a incomplete piece of code. This is the missing part:
input_boolean:
mute_gateway_sounds:
name: Mute
icon: mdi:music-off
script:
play_sound:
sequence:
- condition: state
entity_id: input_boolean.mute_gateway_sounds
state: 'off'
- service: xiaomi.play_ringtone
data_template:
gw_sid: !secret
ringtone_id: "{{ ringtone_id }}"
ringtone_vol: "{{ ringtone_vol }}"
I use the script to mute the notification sounds by an input_boolean.

Yup - working now - very nice!. Thank you for your help with this stuff!
My parcel arrived and I was so happy and relieved when i opened it. It is the new motion sensor. 
Will try to set it up later when I am free.
