Hi, I have a automation that I use a ring doorbell with that will turn on the outdoor lights if the camera detects motion after dark. This automation has been working nicely up until a few days ago where it just stopped completely. I checked the HA repair warnings and got the message in the picture. This seams like a fairly easy fix, I just don't know how to do it. Can someone help me?
#Detected deprecated binary_sensor entity usage

This seems to explain: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/ring/#setting-up-doorbell-alerts
I dont see what im supposed to chnage based on this. Im sure it dose say it somewhere but I only really use the visual mode to make the automations. I try to stay away form the code editor. ```alias: Outside - Everyone - Automation - Doorbell Motion - Turn On Porch Light

I'm assuming I want this part event.front_door_ding but I don't want it to do it when the doorbell rings, I want it to go when it detects motion.
instead of event.front_door_ding with ding event you can use event.front_door_motion with motion event.
if you want motion instead of ding.
Ok, that is what I wanted. Do you know if ring changed something so now it only updates these entity every minute now? I think thats what I read earlier. Is there a way to change this to update faster like it used to or no? Im assuming not and thats just another perk of needing to use another company's servers, but figured ide ask.
I am not sure of the specifics off it but it does seem to be slower now than it once was. I want to move away from it but replacing is not an easy option currently. which is a pain. I use the ding event to trigger a replay on an esp32 device which triggers an older chime which I couldn't directly wire to it. it can take a few seconds sometimes which is awkward but workabout. doesnt usually take much more though. a minute would be very painful...
Yeah, your in it even deeper than me. I just don't want to switch doorbell because the company sucks with this stuff. The screenshot is what I was talking about with the time delay.
is that not jusst for configuration changes though? events should still push "live"
Im not sure, that's what I was wondering. Pressing "live" works for me but everything else takes about a minute to update now based on the little testing I did, which made me think that is what the screenshot was talking about. I could very well be wrong about that though
