Loop Alarm Siren Automation

Configuration
1

hi

I have the following Automation that kicks of the the alarm siren through a ring tone on my Xiaomi Hub. however it only lasts for 30 seconds, how can I make this loop until the alarm is disarmed ?

- alias: 'Alarm Triggered Siren'
  initial_state: 'on'
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: alarm_control_panel.house
    to: 'triggered'
  action:
    service: xiaomi_aqara.play_ringtone
    data:
      gw_mac: (mac removed for this post)
      ringtone_id: 0
      ringtone_vol: 100

Thanks in advance

I would like to know this too.
I just recieved Xiaomi gateway kit (5in1, motion, temp, window/door sensor), and started to implement it in my configuration.
So far I have managed to automate lights with xiaomi sensors, automate night light, etc.
What I can’t figure out is how to ARM/DISARM alarm from home assistant?
I would love to automate alarm arming/disarming using presence (device tracker).
Here is the link I found about alarm loop, hope you can find it usefull.
