I apologize for being slow here. I do see multiple threads talking about the fact that the entity was deprecated and replaced with an event. For the life of me, I cannot understand what that actually means to me or how to use an Event correctly. This is the message I got:
Detected deprecated binary_sensor entity usage
Warning · Reported by Ring
This stops working in version 2025.4.0. Please address before upgrading.
We detected that entity binary_sensor.front_door_ding is being used in automation.foyer_light
We have created a new event entity and you should migrate automation.foyer_light to use this new entity.
When you are done migrating automation.foyer_light and are ready to have the deprecated binary_sensor.front_door_ding entity removed, disable the entity and restart Home Assistant.
What I am trying to do is automate that when motion is detected by the Ring Doorbell, the front porch lights turn on. Here is the automation mentioned in the error message above.
alias: Foyer - Light
description: ""
triggers:
- trigger: state
entity_id:
- binary_sensor.front_door_ding
to: "on"
from: "off"
conditions:
- condition: sun
before: sunrise
after: sunset
actions:
- action: light.turn_on
metadata: {}
data: {}
target:
entity_id: light.front_foyer_chandelier
mode: single
Can someone tell me (for this non-programmer) what I need to change in the above automation to accomplish what I am trying to do?
Here are the list of entities and events that I have available in my Ring Integration:
