Assalamu alikum
Dear aamans
I have also same problem form yesterday night . entities not showing .I have read all above comments And understand the issue .
You mean need to change the DNS entries or it wil solve with in few days .
If need to change DNS please helpe the instructions

talondnb · April 18, 2021, 9:12am

My entities are showing up again now.

aamans · April 18, 2021, 9:18am

@shamseer usually DNS servers will update within hours, but sometimes it can take a while. If you are not in a real to have the entities now, leave it alone and in a day or two they will start working.

I can’t help with specific instructions, it depends on how your internet connection is set up or if you want to fix the DNS at the computer running the home assistant.

The easy way would be to change your router WAN settings to change the DNS entry automatically populated from your ISP to the at&t ip I noted above. In a week or so you can change it back or leave it alone if you don’t have a specific need to change.

The other way would be to manually change the DNS in you internet configuration for the computer running hass. But manually assigning the dns.

aamans · April 18, 2021, 9:27am

Looks like Google and cloud flare are resolving so most people should have entities updating without a need to change dns.

shamseer · April 18, 2021, 9:56am

Thanks for your immediate replay .
I will wait up to 2 days and after that confirm with you the status .
If not working after 2 days I believe you will help me to fix

If anyone want to offset the prayer times by several minutes, you can use a single Template Trigger like this:

- alias: 'Example 1'
  trigger:
  - platform: template
    value_template: >
      {% set f = as_timestamp(states('sensor.fajr_prayer'))  + 300 %}
      {% set d = as_timestamp(states('sensor.dhuhr_prayer')) + 300 %}
      {% set a = as_timestamp(states('sensor.asr_prayer'))   + 300 %}
      {% set i = as_timestamp(states('sensor.isha_prayer'))  + 300 %}
      {% set m = as_timestamp(states('sensor.maghrib_prayer')) + 300 %}
      {{ now().timestamp() | int in [f, d, a, i, m] }}
  action:
  ... etc ...

It offsets each of the five prayer times by 5 minutes (300 seconds). Each prayer time’s offset can, of course, be set to whatever you want. The example adds the offset to the prayer time but, if needed, you can change it so it subtracts the offset from the time,

If you want the ability to adjust the offset time in the Lovelace UI, I suggest creating five input_number entities, one for each prayer time. The following example shows how to configure five input_numbers where each one permits setting a value between 0 and 20 minutes.

Click to reveal configuration example for input_numbers

input_number:
  fajr:
    name: 'Fajr Offset'
    min: 00
    max: 20
    step: 1
  dhuhr:
    name: 'Dhuhr Offset'
    min: 00
    max: 20
    step: 1
  asr:
    name: 'Asr Offset'
    min: 00
    max: 20
    step: 1
  isha:
    name: 'Isha Offset'
    min: 00
    max: 20
    step: 1
  Maghrib:
    name: 'Maghrib Offset'
    min: 00
    max: 20
    step: 1

Then you can use the following Template Trigger:

- alias: 'Example 2'
  trigger:
  - platform: template
    value_template: >
      {% set f = as_timestamp(states('sensor.fajr_prayer'))  + states('input_number.fajr')|int * 60 %}
      {% set d = as_timestamp(states('sensor.dhuhr_prayer')) + states('input_number.dhuhr')|int * 60 %}
      {% set a = as_timestamp(states('sensor.asr_prayer'))   + states('input_number.asr')|int * 60 %}
      {% set i = as_timestamp(states('sensor.isha_prayer'))  + states('input_number.isha')|int * 60 %}
      {% set m = as_timestamp(states('sensor.maghrib_prayer')) + states('input_number.maghrib')|int * 60 %}
      {{ now().timestamp() | int in [f, d, a, i, m] }}
  action:
  ... etc ...

aamans · April 18, 2021, 7:49pm

@shamseer change the calculation method to one that gives the right time.

Google aladhan prayer api and read through the different methods. Change the code in config.yaml to define sensors. HTH

fshaikh15 · April 18, 2021, 11:46pm

As salam,

I would like to know will this also work with Amazon Alexa Echo Dot?

aamans · April 19, 2021, 3:01am

@fshaikh15 I have made it work is Echo that’s what I am using now, it’s a bit more involved as you need to install HACS and Alexa media player. see my post on the Hanafi Islamic prayer topic here

whiteface · May 2, 2021, 12:08am

hi, my salah times are showing UTC values. sensor.salah_fajr is UTC but sensor.fajr_prayer is correct. how can i solve this?

Mahmoud-Eid · May 6, 2021, 3:52pm

Even if i execute it manually, Azan is not played either on minor Google Nest Hub. Your help will be really appreciated please.

UsmanKhawaja · May 17, 2021, 2:25am

Even the prayer times are not correct based on the Australia/Sydney Timezone.

wsb · June 10, 2021, 7:36am

Alright Alhumdulilah I sorted out. All good.

wsb · June 11, 2021, 8:50am

Usman brother computers love to work is zulu time aka UTC/GMT. so if you convert this time to your local time it will be a correct time.

omerlatif · June 22, 2021, 6:53pm

Asalamu Alaykum,
I was having the same issue (manually triggering works but automatic doesn’t work), so I copied this code but it is still not working, please advise.
JazakAllahu Khairan

omerlatif · June 23, 2021, 3:40am

alrighty, Alhumdulillah I fixed it. The sensor entity id was wrong in my “Actions” area.

Hi guys, followed the instructions but Adhan times are note accurate… I set time zone and gps coordination accordingly… changed the calculation method to isna
