Hi, Xiaomi Gateway ringtones are very shorts.
I wish to play them in loop when a door/wndows sensor is opened… how can I do it?
- alias: Play ringtone when window is open
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.door_window_sensor_123456789
from: 'off'
to: 'on'
action:
- service: xiaomi_aqara.play_ringtone
data:
gw_mac: !secret gw_mac
ringtone_id: 10
ringtone_vol: 100Hi
I have done something similar for an Alarm Siren based on the Xiaomi Gateway. I have done this by a Script being called by the automation.
There is the script, I’m still learning scripting, so there may be a better way, but will give you an idea.

hi try this (Again I am quite new, so might not be the best way 
)
When Alarm Triggers Automation

initial_state: 'on'
trigger:

Just change the trigger to your sensor and state .
Please note I have a recorded tone that plays on Disarm and I have my Gateways Flash Red when the alarm triggers and this also turns them off, so need to remove those lines, I can if you want give you the Flash Gateway script if your interested.
I’m using the System Alarm Add-On, it is a complete system and it already have flashing lights of gateway and it is easy to configure
do you know this project?
I have seen it but I have been using the one from
i like the Alarm UI and the check and stuff it does
you have an external siren, which type?
what is this?
yes please, thanks, which ringtone?
this is the call for the Script to change the display on the Wall Tablet for then the Alarm is disarmed all the Wall Panels show a Disarm Message…
Also have TTS working so I get an audible message too.
here you go

I recorded the alarm disarm tone and the 30 sec countdown tones from my old Alarm using the Xiaomi App, and play these when the alarm is activated / triggered (before the Siren after 30 secs) and a Disarm tone.
Thank you for the scripts!!! For some reason the alarm_siren_cancel works only half the time. Meaning I have to arm/disarm again when the first time the sound loop still keeps running. Do you have this issue? I wonder if my old laptop is too old to handle it correctly?
This is the automation i use.
Please disregard. I have found the example where the author uses stop_ringtone instead.

Anyone experienced that when the alarm goes off and the Xiaomi starts the loop, it only does it for 5 minutes, then stops and the ‘Yet another alarm component’ goes from Triggered to Armed Away again?
EDIT: I think this must be related to something else.
Hi All,
I have started adventure with HA week ago. Maybe this will be helpful for somebody.
To make a loop for xiaomi gateway sound or light just use scripts that start another script.
To turn off stop scripts. In automation call first script of loop.
scripts.yaml

Does not work for some reason, plays second script and stops.
same thing happened to me, stops after 2nd script.
Further investigation highlighted that the first script was still running hence it would not run again.
