Ring Doorbell to Flash Lights

[Colt45UK]

I used to have this working until recently, but it has stopped working. Appears “Tuya” gave me permission deny for some reason, so I deleted it and tried setup again. My automation seems to have stopped working.

I’ve lost my backup code ( I know I should’ve made a copy of it )

Currently, this is what I have and it only flashes twice but then it goes off - I’ve tried varies settings but seems something’s off with me and I’m unable to shake this issue myself.

alias: Doorbell Press

trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.front_door_ding
    from: "off"
    to: "on"
action:
  - repeat:
      count: "5"
      sequence:
        - type: toggle
          device_id: e95dcc373c4d46c955e3cb312220fa58
          entity_id: light.study_room_smart_light
          domain: light
        - delay:
            hours: 0
            minutes: 0
            seconds: 0
            milliseconds: 500
        - type: toggle
          device_id: e95dcc373c4d46c955e3cb312220fa58
          entity_id: light.study_room_smart_light
          domain: light
        - delay:
            hours: 0
            minutes: 0
            seconds: 0
            milliseconds: 500
mode: single

My aim is if the lights are in an “off” state, they should return to the off state as soon it finishes the automation. The same goes if they’re in an “on” state.

I want it to repeat 5 times but that isn’t important of how many flashes it does.

I have set it to 300ms before but it doesn’t do the action on the spot, I increased it to 500ms to see if it helps but no difference. All I want is to flash for like 3-4 sec and then go back to normal how it was previously.

The reason is, I’m profoundly Deaf and I rely on doorbell flash. I do not wish to leave the light on during the daytime, but I need the light on at night.

I have a mixture of brands, used to have Lifx but I’ve noticed Tuya compatible bulb seems to connect quicker than the Lifx bulb, so I’m getting rid of those Lifx for Tuya’s bulb.

I have checked and have used some of those example scripts found in some topics,

Flash lights doorbell ring

Hi, I have many light entities (Shelly dimmers) and want to flash them up/down for a few seconds when the doorbell rings. Any ideas how this is achieved? If the lights are off, they need to come on, flash a few times and go back off again. If the lights are on, they need to dim up and down and return to the previous setting again. Thanks.

EaryKong Doorbell esp flash

Hello, I recently bought EaryKong Doorbell doorbell because it should be possible to flash it with tasmota: EaryKong Doorbell (DB_B) Configuration for Tasmota Does someone else have it? I’m trying to figure out the pins I need to connect to, whether any of it’s buttons is connected in a way that it could put it into flashing mode or if I need to just jump a wire there, etc. If anyone else have done it and could tell me how they did it it would be great. If not, guess I’ll have to document the …

Hello, I have a Ring Video doorbell. And I am trying to let some lights flash (with the color red if it’s possible) when someone rings the bell. But I can’t figure it out the way I want it.

Automation, flash light - doorbel ring (if-else?)

Hello, I am trying to create the following automation: When someone rings my doorbell (I have a Ring configured as binary sensor), I want my frontdoor light to flash a few times in blue. If it is night, the frontdoor light has to go back normal (white). If it is daytime, the light has to go back off. The frontdoor light turns on (white) when the sun goes down. And turns off when the sun comes up. So I looked if there was a possibility for if-else (IF sun is up turn light off after flash, ELS…

I find it useful but doesn’t seem to work for me - assuming it’s not compatible with the new version of HASS?

Wondered if anyone experiencing similar issues I’m having?
