Make MQTT Switch work with Xiaomi gateway

[seetendra (Seetx)]

Hello Everyone,

Iam trying to use a 433mhz Switch (sonoff Switch) conneted to Rf bridge to work as a calling bell with Xiaomi Gateway

This is the configuration i have

Switch configuration in config.yaml

• name: “Bell Switch”
  platform: mqtt
  state_topic: RFBridge/relay/0
  command_topic: RFBridge/relay/0/set
  payload_on: 1
  payload_off: 0
  availability_topic: RFBridge/status
  payload_available: 1
  payload_not_available: 0

Automation Code :

• alias: Bell Ringing
  hide_entity: True
  trigger:
  platform: mqtt
  topic: RFBridge/relay/0
  payload: ‘1’
  action:
  • service: xiaomi_aqara.play_ringtone
    data:
    gw_mac: f0b429xxxxxx
    ringtone_id: 10
    ringtone_vol: 10
  • delay: ‘00:00:10’
  • service: mqtt.publish
    data:
    topic: RFBridge/relay/0
    payload: ‘0’

The problem that iam facing is once i press the switch it stays on and does not go off.
So the next time if i have to use the bell i have to press the button twice once to turn it off and the next time to turn it on

Can someone please guide me where am i going wrong.

You may want to use that blue bar to format your code
Change your trigger to use the event platform
This is what I have for my doorbell

- alias: Doorbell Notification
  trigger:
    - platform: event
      event_type: signal_received
      event_data:
        entity_id: sensor.doorbell_sound

Is this for the xiaomi Gateway?
How can i send a code to turn off theMQTT Switch after the first code is executed?

Which door bell are you using ?

This is for any sensor. As soon as you can catch info from a sensor you can use this.
I personally have a 433MHz simple doorbell from Byron

Ok issue is resolved
i has a string missing in the MQTT message

The correct code is

• alias: Bell Ringing
  hide_entity: True
  trigger:
  platform: mqtt
  topic: RFBridge/relay/0
  payload: ‘1’
  action:
  • service: xiaomi_aqara.play_ringtone
    data:
    gw_mac: f0b4xxxxxxxx
    ringtone_id: 10
    ringtone_vol: 30
  • delay: ‘00:00:05’
  • service: mqtt.publish
    data:
    topic: RFBridge/relay/0/set
    payload: ‘0’
