Eufy Doorbell Ringing Automation

Hi,

I recently bought a Eufy Doorbell (T8210) with Homebase 2, additionaly I installed the Eufy Security integration where I can find some additonal Sensors like for example the Doorbell Ringing Sensor.
Since a couple of days I’m experimenting to let my Lamps Flash in the Livingroom and let my Google say something if someone is pressing the doorbell.

The thing is if I run the automation manually everything works but as soon as I press the Doorbell nothing happens!?
I use within my automation that if the state is changing to “true” the automation should run, Within the Eufy Security integration I see the state changing from “false” to “true” if I press the doorbell.

What is going wrong or what am I doing wrong :-), hopefully someone can point me into the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

Please try changing “true” to “True”, capital T instead of small t.

trigger:
  - entity_id:
      - binary_sensor.front_doorbell_ringing
    platform: state
    to: "True"

The above clip is from my automation and I found that unless I used True (with T capital), the automation would not work,

Yes… Changing small t into Capital T solved my Issue, many thanks for helping!

both of you, please move into latest version, it should be on / off rather than True/False and it is fixed now

Hi fuatakgun,

Thanks for your additional information, I installed the latest version (V6.20) after installation I noticed a lot of features were added, but also a lot of features have the state “unavailable” or mentioning that the entity is no longer being provided! by the Security Integration…
I’m using Eufy Security Add-on version 1.3.0
After Restarting the Security Add-on every option in the Eufy Integration became unavailable!?

I updated my HA to the latest release (just in case) and after restart I deleted all the “old” Entities apparently new Entities were created after installing the latest version of Eufy.

Ringing Sensor became Ringing etc. modiefied my Automation and it works now.
