Hi again - not sure if i got this right but the volume doesn’t seem to have a set point for Fajr in your node red config. The “turn on Fajr Volume” turns on the speaker but doesnt set a value for the speaker which I assume would be another call service node? or am i looking at this wrong.
basically i just want to know where the volume is being set, and from what i have been reading from other forums, I can’t seem to make out where its being done in node-red.

is there meant to be another call service after the delay 2s? e.g. "Turn on Fajr Volume > delay 2s > Set Volume > Play athan?

Testing this out and adding the call service node data: { "volume_level": 0.5} seems to have done the trick but I am not sure If I added this when it was already there? Just wanted to make sure.

Thanks

I feel that Mawait is doing better than what you’re trying to do. Also, Mawaqit offers integration with HA

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

Do you mean how to create a card like in the picture you posted?

For a easy simple automated azan solution please try Smart Azan Automation For Alexa

I made a glance card. In the yaml add format: time

357

I can confirm it does work

358

You must create a glance card with the islamic prayer times as the sensors. Then edit in yaml and add line format:time after each sensor so that it dispalys the times[quote=“Himdola, post:353, topic:100909, full:true”]

Hello,
I am looking for the same thing. Have you found a solution?

Thanks

Easy! put that mp3 file in your Home Assistant’s www (local) folder, then setup automation that will point towards the your custom mp3 file.

alias: ""
data:
  entity_id: media_player.master_bedroom_speaker
  media_content_id: http://192.168.1.129:8123/local/azaan.mp3
  media_content_type: music
service: media_player.play_media

I created this automation but it still doesn’t play the file :confused:
in the log it was fired but didn’t play anything
when I execute it manually from the settings all works…

What am I missing?

The easy way to setup the adthan is to use the Islamic prayers integration in Home assistant. You can follow the following video how to add it and then use his setup to set your sonos to play the adthan. It is in egyptian arabic but just watch and follow in your home assistant. At 3:01, he will show his home assistant.

My adhan automation notify services have stopped functioning correctly, I believe this was since around the last couple of releases of HA.

Here is my YAML:

# Sensors
sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      salah_fajr:
        friendly_name: "Fajr"
        icon_template: mdi:weather-sunset-up
        value_template: '{{ (states("sensor.islamic_prayer_times_fajr_prayer").split("T")[1].split(":")[0]) +":"+ (states("sensor.islamic_prayer_times_fajr_prayer").split("T")[1].split(":")[1])}}'
      salah_dhuhr:
        friendly_name: "Dhuhr"

        value_template: '{{ (states("sensor.islamic_prayer_times_isha_prayer").split("T")[1].split(":")[0]) +":"+ (states("sensor.islamic_prayer_times_isha_prayer").split("T")[1].split(":")[1]) }}'

        media_content_type: music

The issue I have is with the notify.ios_all service, the message ignores the JSON code at the salah times and appears as ‘It is time, please perform wudhu.’. I have tested the JSON template within HA and it shows up completely fine (i.e. sensor.salah_actual indicates the right salah within the designated minute).

Just to be clear, everything is working with the automation as expected except for the notify message JSON.

Anyone have any idea what might be happening here?

Thank you very much for the link!!
I discovered lots of problems I had with the installation (specially I had the wrong timezone coming from my NAS and this one drove me crazy)
I love this community!!

I was just looking at the Fajr ent2024-07-04T04:21:00+00:00ity and noticed its 1 day behind the rest of the times:

sensor.islamic_prayer_times_fajr_prayer
2024-07-03T21:46:00+00:00

and

sensor.islamic_prayer_times_dhuhr_prayer
2024-07-04T04:21:00+00:00

When im getting my automation to work, fajr wont start because its showing a past time/date and not current.
Not really sure where that is being configured from exactly.

369

You may need to check the time and date on the server hosting your HA. Also, did you create a sensor like this on your configuration?

sensor:
  - platform: time_date
    display_options:
      - 'time'
      - 'date'
      - 'date_time'
      - 'date_time_utc'
      - 'date_time_iso'
      - 'time_date'
      - 'time_utc'
      - 'beat'
370

yes, the time is correct on the server and i do have a sensor for time_date (though im not sure what ‘beat’ is for)
