Time display as UTC. someone figured out how to convert to local times?
Assalm u alikum, I hope someone can help me. I am trying to setup the automation script so that it mutes my Samsung soundbar before playing the Adhan on the google home mini (for Duhur, Asr, Magrib and Isha).
I am very new to all this.

Results / Outcome

–
snip of entities states in developer tools
- Dashboard widget looks like this, although the timings of Adhan are not as per my timezone. Please advise how can I show the Adhan timings as per my timezone?
Looking forward hearing from you.

Salam @msahar , really appreciate your effort in setting adhan automation. I have been following the thread and found myself bit lost after an integration of Islamic Prayer Time was introduced in Home Assistant.
Is it possible to have specific instructions to configure and automate with Islamic Prayer Time. You probably have already done that but wanted to segregate it from current topic.
JazzakAllah.
Mohsin
One Error I was able to find was the naming of entity (entity_id: media_player.**dining_room_speakerr**) was wrong for Fajr prayers resulting not in playing this. I will wait for Dhuhur prayers to see if it works and update the thread.
JazzakAllah
Update:
Alhamdulillah, I was able to play Asr Adhan … There was change in sensor naming convention in automation that caused the issue, I have corrected it as it was advised in the comments. Following is the correct automations.yaml file
automations.yaml
- id: '1517693010922'

}}'

The information presented in the first post of this thread is almost 3 years old. Some of it is outdated and there are now simpler, easier ways to do the same things.
For example, I posted a revised version of the automation here and it demonstrates that the original Template Triggers can be replaced with a far more compact Time Trigger:
trigger:
- platform: time
at:
- sensor.fajr_prayer
- sensor.dhuhr_prayer
- sensor.asr_prayer
- sensor.maghrib_prayer
- sensor.isha_prayer
If we apply this enhancement to your two automations, we get this:
- id: '1517693010922'
alias: Adhan
trigger:
- platform: time
at:
- sensor.dhuhr_prayer
- sensor.asr_prayer
- sensor.maghrib_prayer
- sensor.isha_prayer
condition: []
action:
- service: media_extractor.play_media
target:
entity_id: media_player.dining_room_speaker
data:
media_content_id: https://www.islamcan.com/audio/adhan/azan2.mp3
media_content_type: audio/mp3
- service: media_player.volume_set
target:
entity_id: media_player.dining_room_speaker
data:
volume_level: 0.4
mode: single
- id: '1517693034922'
alias: Fajar Azaan
trigger:
- platform: time
at: sensor.fajr_prayer
condition: []
action:
- service: media_extractor.play_media
target:
entity_id: media_player.dining_room_speaker
data:
media_content_id: https://www.islamcan.com/audio/adhan/azan3.mp3
media_content_type: audio/mp3
- service: media_player.volume_set
target:
area_id: living_room
device_id: 83982c1f80fda986dd93cfbee8f335d7
entity_id: media_player.dining_room_speaker
data:
volume_level: 0.4
mode: single
In addition, the Islamic Prayer integration can now be configured via the UI:
Therefore it is no longer necessary to configure it via configuration.yaml
# This is not needed because it can now be done via the UI
islamic_prayer_times:
calculation_method: karachi
The optional five Template Sensors, showing the current day’s prayer times, can be reduced to this:
- platform: template
sensors:
salah_fajr:
friendly_name: "Salah Fajr"
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.fajr_prayer') | as_timestamp | timestamp_custom('%H:%M') }}"
salah_dhuhr:
friendly_name: "Salah Dhuhr"
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.dhuhr_prayer') | as_timestamp | timestamp_custom('%H:%M') }}"
salah_asr:
friendly_name: "Salah Asr"
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.asr_prayer') | as_timestamp | timestamp_custom('%H:%M') }}"
salah_maghrib:
friendly_name: "Salah Maghrib"
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.maghrib_prayer') | as_timestamp | timestamp_custom('%H:%M') }}"
salah_isha:
friendly_name: "Salah Isha"
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.isha_prayer') | as_timestamp | timestamp_custom('%H:%M') }}"

Thank you a lot for the updated information! I was wondering if it was possible to only show the highlighted information instead of all of that data:
Could you please help me out configuring the configuration.yaml? I’m using the version you posted above. I now get this error:
2021-12-06 01:05:20 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.helpers.template] Template warning: 'as_timestamp' got invalid input 'unknown' when rendering template '{{ states('sensor.fajr_prayer') | as_timestamp | timestamp_custom('%H:%M') }}' but no default was specified. Currently 'as_timestamp' will return 'None', however this template will fail to render in Home Assistant core 2022.1
Any help is very welcome! Thank you!
It’s not an error, it’s a warning.
WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.helpers.template]
The message clearly explains why:
‘as_timestamp’ got invalid input ‘unknown’
The result of this:
states('sensor.fajr_prayer')
was unknown.
That means the value of sensor.fajr_prayer is unknown. Did you install the Islamic Prayer Times integration? Do you see five sensors in Configuration > Entities related to the Prayer Times integration?

Thank you a lot! That was indeed the problem: I did not have the Islamic Prayer Times installed. Thanks again!
Guys, the times which is gives to me is not really correct, some of 10 minutes after or before. How can i setup some + or - to let me see the correct times on lovelace?
type: glance
entities:
- entity: sensor.fajr_prayer

- entity: sensor.dhuhr_prayer
format: time
- entity: sensor.asr_prayer

- entity: sensor.maghrib_prayer
format: time
- entity: sensor.isha_prayer
format: time
Same problem did you just find the problem? See my question up maybe a workaround if that is possible to let see the lovelace the time with some +10 min -10 min as example.
Can someone post an updated version of this, I cannot get this working correctly. the original post is outdated as of today and does not function correctly.
Currently, I am getting the following error in the logs, It does execute when I run the automation manually but does not execute on its own or on the correct time.
Thank you
Scroll up about 7 posts and you’ll find an updated version posted on July 29. That post also contains a link to the following simplified version:
That’s not one of the simplified versions I suggested.
@123
Thank you, after I reapplied the automation using your simplified version, everything worked as expected.
Below is my configuration for anyone who wishes to use it.

Glad to hear it works for you but why did you feel the need to re-post the example that I had already posted?
This thread is already exceedingly long and filled with duplications; it’s preferable to just link to a post.
Because you don’t have everything in a single place, plus it’s not user-friendly because you don’t mention what goes in which file. If I had to guess these things from your post, I am sure others who are new would also have to guess the same, therefore I mentioned the complete information in 1 single post instead of going back and forth to different posts.
