Hi there excelent work you guys did here. My whit bulb just connect googd but the colored one don´t connect is there any config I have to do?
What’s the product name of the device you are talking about?
I am using the latest HA official version. The temperature and light sensor not update frequently, i like it update about 1 per minute . Anyone know how to fix the problem?
why you need temperature updates every one minute?
For battery powered devices that might be excessive battery consuming times
But the sensor is useless if it not “sens” current value, like temperature and light. Because i want to use it for automation. 1 minute is just an example. The light sensor from the gateway some time delay for about 1 hour and temperature delay for 60 minutes
In the official document it says that the lux readings are done hourly or when a motion is detected. I am talking about the new combined light and motion detectors. So if you want to make an automation relying on motion detection and the luminance as a condition only, the sensors are usable. But if you want to use the luminance as a trigger they won’t be usable. Use the gateway’s light sensor in that case. It is much much more frequent (hours vs seconds).
I am using the gateway’s light sensor by the way, it seems much more reliable.
I understand light sensor every minute (actually I would like even more frequent l, temperature every minute I don’t see the use
Are there any powered light sensor in the market (cheap)?
I want to use light gateway sensor and temperature/humidity sensor for automation like automatic turn on aircon, light or dryer. But those value delay much. I know that sensor run with battery(temperature/humidity) so it just delay or just update when temperature change like 0.3 C deg, but delay too much, and the value delay is random. I read that those sensor use MTTQ implementation, but without fast update it can not use for automation.
You can built one based on a ESP8266 pretty cheap

I tried the Bruh example. The light sensor is not working
I’m using this new device to trigger the light in the bathroom… It is true that the luminance sensor is not updated often, but when the motion part of the sensor capture a motion it also updates the luminance value, so the automation work perfectly for me 
Any luck getting frindly name to work? Most of them doen´t work only humidity sensors worked well

Apologies if this has been asked, is there anyway to continuously play a ringtone until the stop service is called?
No. The feature does not exist unfortunately.
It is a fact what syssi said above, but I managed to make it work (in a far from perfect way, but it works).

Here’s how it looks on the frontend:
And here’s an example of usage in an automation:

### Alarm trigger while armed away ###

### Play ringtone sound in loop ###

You may need to adjust the delays to best fit your requirements, but here it works properly.
I hope this may give you ideas on how to use it.

FYI: The Water Leak Sensor is on sale. $12.99 at GearBest
https://www.gearbest.com/home-smart-improvements/pp_668897.html
ordered 3 of them, are they already supported?
I don’t think so (unless I missed sth in this thread) but it’s just a matter of time.
I’m about to order some as well…
