Salam Alikom Brothers,
I have been struggling with the integration for Athan, it is not accurate I wanted to share my solution on how I have captured the data for our official source for the timing in Dubai.
Our official source is IACAD website
I have used the scrape integration that comes preinstalled with Home Assistant
You need to have internet access to the HA instant. Below you can find the code for the senor,
sensor:
- platform: scrape
resource: https://services.iacad.gov.ae/SmartPortal/en/Timings
name: Fajr Time
select: "td"
index: 1
value_template: '{{ value.split("AM")[0] }}'
unit_of_measurement: hours
- platform: scrape
resource: https://services.iacad.gov.ae/SmartPortal/en/Timings
name: Dohr Time
select: "td"
index: 7
value_template: '{{ value.split("PM")[0] }}'
unit_of_measurement: hours
- platform: scrape
resource: https://services.iacad.gov.ae/SmartPortal/en/Timings
name: Asr Time
select: "td"
index: 10
value_template: '{{ value.split("PM")[0] }}'
unit_of_measurement: hours
- platform: scrape
resource: https://services.iacad.gov.ae/SmartPortal/en/Timings
name: Magrib Time
select: "td"
index: 13
value_template: '{{ value.split("PM")[0] }}'
unit_of_measurement: hours
- platform: scrape
resource: https://services.iacad.gov.ae/SmartPortal/en/Timings
name: Isha Time
select: "td"
index: 16
value_template: '{{ value.split("PM")[0] }}'
unit_of_measurement: hours
##### the below sensors is used for automation purpose #####
- platform: template
fajr_24:
friendly_name: 'Fajr 24 Format'
icon_template: "mdi:clock"
value_template: >
{% set fajr_time_in_12_fromat = as_timestamp(states.sensor.date.state + ' ' + states.sensor.Fajr_time.state) %}
{{fajr_time_in_12_fromat|timestamp_local}}
dohr_24:

{{test_24|timestamp_local}}
This will generate sensors only, now you need to do the automations as per your needs, there are samples here in the community:
Adhan automation (أذان التلقائي) using Home Assistant and Google Home Mini
Automate Islamic Adhan (also called Azan or Azzan) or other prayer calls
Azaan/Adhan/Azan on your Alexa devices
To use it as time trigger, choose in the triggers section: Trigger type as template, add ID if you need then the Value template is as below:
{{ as_timestamp(states('sensor.asr_24'))|timestamp_custom('%H:%M', true) == states('sensor.time') }}
This is only for 1 example you need to change the sensor for each automation.
Salam Alikom
