Xiaomi Gateway - Alarm

Configuration
,
#1

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.

configuration.yaml

How to play XIaomi Gateway ringtones sound in loop?
#2

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 :smile:

script:
  xiaomi_gateway_alarm:
    sequence:
      - service: homeassistant.turn_off
        entity_id: input_boolean.xiaomi_alarm_repeat
      - service: xiaomi_aqara.play_ringtone
        data:
          ringtone_id: 2
          ringtone_vol: 2
          gw_mac: 34CE009xxxxx
      - delay: 00:00:05
      - service: homeassistant.turn_on
        entity_id: input_boolean.xiaomi_alarm_repeat

input_boolean:
  xiaomi_alarm_repeat:
    name: "Xiaomi Alarm Repeat"
    initial: off

automation:
- alias: "xiaomi gateway alarm 01"
  hide_entity: true
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.xiaomi_alarm_repeat
      from: 'off'
      to: 'on'
  action:
    - service: homeassistant.turn_on
      entity_id: script.xiaomi_gateway_alarm

You can also use something like I wrote above to keep it repeating and use the input_boolean as the trigger

Umm, okay, so this is a new thing for me.

I put this inside scripts.yaml:
script:

  xiaomi_gateway_alarm:
    sequence:
      - service: homeassistant.turn_off
        entity_id: input_boolean.xiaomi_alarm_repeat
      - service: xiaomi_aqara.play_ringtone
        data:
          ringtone_id: 2
          ringtone_vol: 2
          gw_mac: 34CE009xxxxx
      - delay: 00:00:05
      - service: homeassistant.turn_on
        entity_id: input_boolean.xiaomi_alarm_repeat

And then put this inside configuration.yaml:

> input_boolean:
>   xiaomi_alarm_repeat:
>     name: "Xiaomi Alarm Repeat"
>     initial: off

And put this inside automations.yaml:
automation:>

- alias: "xiaomi gateway alarm 01"
  hide_entity: true
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.xiaomi_alarm_repeat
      from: 'off'
      to: 'on'
  action:
    - service: homeassistant.turn_on
      entity_id: script.xiaomi_gateway_alarm

But it still plays ringtome 1 time. What did I miss? :slight_smile:

Change:

- alias: Alarm!
  hide_entity: true
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: alarm_control_panel.haalarm
      to: 'triggered'
  action:
    - service: xiaomi_aqara.play_ringtone
      data:
        gw_mac: 34CE009xxxxx
        ringtone_id: 2
        ringtone_vol: 2

to:

- alias: Alarm!
  hide_entity: true
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: alarm_control_panel.haalarm
      to: 'triggered'
  action:
    - service: homeassistant.turn_on
      entity_id: input_boolean.xiaomi_alarm_repeat

Also your Automation is hidden, better change to:

- alias: "xiaomi gateway alarm 01"
  initial_state: True
  hide_entity: true
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.xiaomi_alarm_repeat
      from: 'off'
      to: 'on'
  action:
    - service: homeassistant.turn_on
      entity_id: script.xiaomi_gateway_alarm
#6

Here is a workaround for the ringtones not natively looping on the gateway. It’s not perfect, but it works.

#7

Following your instructions when the alarm calls the script i get this:
“Script script.xiaomi_gateway_alarm already running.”

this is the automation right now:

- alias: Alarm - Away
  trigger:
# alarm on fire
    - platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.smoke_sensor_158d0001xxxxxx
      to: 'on'
# door opened
    - platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.door_window_sensor_158d0001xxxxxx
      to: 'on'
# motion detected
    - platform: state
      entity_id: group.all_motion
      to: 'on'

  condition:
    - condition: state
      entity_id: alarm_control_panel.haalarm
      state: armed_away
  action:
    - service: alarm_control_panel.alarm_trigger
      entity_id: alarm_control_panel.haalarm

  hide_entity: true

Thank you! But that script is outdated and I’m pretty dumb for things like this to fix it, but I tried and failed miserably.

I think I will just put in sound 20 times in a row and cry in the corner.

Hi @BullFrog,

script:
  xiaomi_gateway_alarm:
    sequence:
      - service: homeassistant.turn_off
        entity_id: input_boolean.xiaomi_alarm_repeat
      - service: xiaomi_aqara.play_ringtone
        data:
          ringtone_id: 2
          ringtone_vol: 2
          gw_mac: 34CE009xxxxx
      - delay: 00:00:05
      - service: homeassistant.turn_on
        entity_id: input_boolean.xiaomi_alarm_repeat
      - delay: 00:00:01

input_boolean:
  xiaomi_alarm_repeat:
    name: "Xiaomi Alarm Repeat"
    initial: off

automation:
- alias: "xiaomi gateway alarm 01"
  hide_entity: false
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.xiaomi_alarm_repeat
      from: 'off'
      to: 'on'
  action:
    - delay: 00:00:01
    - service: homeassistant.turn_on
      entity_id: script.xiaomi_gateway_alarm

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.

#10

I don’t know why you say this is outdated, but in my 0.63.3 Hassbian installation works great, but your mileage may vary.

Good luck on your endeavour.

#11

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.

Script script.play_sound already running.
8:55 components/script.py (WARNING)

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.

#14

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.

Try changing your scripts for:

### Play Provided sound in loop on Gateway ###
script:
  play_sound:
    alias: "Play Sound"
    sequence:
### Turn off gateway mute to play sound ###
      - condition: state
        entity_id: input_boolean.mute_gateway_sounds
        state: 'off'
### Play ringtone sound provided ###
      - service: xiaomi_aqara.play_ringtone
        data_template:
          gw_mac: !secret xiaomi_mac
          ringtone_id: "{{ ringtone_id }}"
          ringtone_vol: "{{ ringtone_vol }}"
### Wait & call another script that call this one ###
### in order to generate an infinite loop until gateway ###
### mute is turned on by some other action ###
      - delay: '00:00:{{ delay | int }}'
      - service: script.play_sound_loop
        data_template:
          ringtone_id: "{{ ringtone_id }}"
          ringtone_vol: "{{ ringtone_vol }}"
          delay: "{{ delay }}"

  play_sound_loop:
    alias: "Play Sound in Loop"
### Wait & call script that called this one ###
### in order to generate an infinite loop until ###
### gateway mute is turned on by some other action ###
    sequence:
      - delay: '00:00:{{ delay | int }}'
      - service: script.play_sound
        data_template:
          ringtone_id: "{{ ringtone_id }}"
          ringtone_vol: "{{ ringtone_vol }}"
          delay: "{{ delay }}"

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.

Thanks! It sorta works now, during pending is it a normal behavior that alarm starts to play?

#17

I don’t know exactly how you have your automations set up, but if you’re using mine, it will play sound while it is pending and when it is triggered.

#18

Copy pasted yours now, and simple replaced sensor and it is alarming when pending.
Do you use this code?

#19

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?).

#20

Nice! so now you can Arm/ DisArm the arm via HA?
