I’m trying to make a simple alarm system with Xiaomi gateway a door sensor and a wireless switch.
The thing I’m trying to achieve :
Press single click, set alarm after 60 seconds.
Door open -> wait 10 seconds -> trigger alarm for 10 minutes or until disarmed with long press.
It kinda works, I found 1 problem with it, after 5-6 seconds, the gateway stops playing the alarm ringtone. HA stays it is in “triggered” state and I can see it is alarming, but sound stops. Tried to increase trigger_time but no sound at all.
Xiaomi Gateway ring tones don’t repeat and have only a few seconds duration.
You can upload a bigger file to the gateway to use instead
Or copy/paste the service: xiaomi_aqara.play_ringtone as many times as you want it to play/repeat
Try this and use the input_boolean as the alarm trigger.
I had a look at the post from @pplucky and looks great for this kind of things and if it is outdated shouldn’t be very hard to fix.
Thank you pplucky!
Now I have time for a round 2, most of the errors was easy to fix, like changing to service to xiaomi_aqara.play_ringtone and so on.
The other thing was you used a different script name in example than in automation, it was easy too after read the log files.
I will give it another shot, but I don’t get this error message.

This is all due to the fact that you did not copy the full code and did not include input_slider.gateway_volume, input_select.gateway_sound and input_slider.loop, which are used in the scripts called in automation.
If you don’t want those dynamic, you need to adapt your configuration a bit more.
Thans for the reply, tried it now, all the inputs are there, and I even changed ‘input_slider’ to ‘input_number’, because it said it changed.
The same errors are still there.

With these scripts, you don’t actually need the input_slider.gateway_volume, input_select.gateway_sound and input_slider.loop, but you need to test it yourself.
Yes I do, but I am not sure that my full alarm code is posted, as I remember that the purpose of the example was just to show that ringtone loop was somehow possible.
I can check it later and share, if you’re interested.
As I mentioned, it should play a sound while it is pending and then another if it is armed, just like a regular home alarm.
When you arm it, while it is not armed (=pending), it should play a sound for me to know I still have time to leave before it is armed.
When alarm is triggered, another alarm sound is to be played (isn’t that the purpose of an alarm?).
