Try to trigger the automation from the service panel
Ok, so I used the trigger. It ran, but there’s no sound. I can play the file directly on the web…

Asalam u Alaikum All,
is anyone here from Toronto area, I am not very technical and i am looking for some in-person help to set this automatic azaan for my home
Thanks & Regards
What media player speaker you use?? Sonos or what?
what is it you need help with?
google home mini; but its not the speakers, i’ve tested it with the tutorial that msahar posted and it works fine.The issue is only when i add the delay and the local files you told me to… it doesn’t work.
Jazakallah Brother, i just found the guide from msahar
I will try to follow that guide and if needed i will get back to you.
btw can you suggest the best place to buy PI board or starter kit ?? Thanks
What you can do is to call a script that call the mp3 files or try to make 2 automatines, one that trigger the other, or you can combine 2 mp3 file in 1 files and this way play only the combined mp3 file, I didn’t try they, but I could test later with my Google home.
im 100% convinced that its not the speaker issue. Its either the code or the audio file, im starting to doubt that the mp3 file is not readible by the app (media_player) which is called by hass.io
Try convert to .wav
ok so its not the audio file as well, I’m stumped now.

just make sure you have access to your mp3 files through the URL.
so it triggers the speaker but nothing plays; i feel that the way this is coded is a problem?
I’ve updated it so that it reaches those files, triggers the speaker (i hear bleep) but that’s it.

UPDATE:
I think i have found the culprit but not sure what the solution is:
this address when played on on the browser, works: http://hassio.local:8123/local/adhan_fajr_makkah.mp3
but when i put that address in the code it doesn’t:
http://hassio.local:8123/local/adhan_fajr_makkah.mp3
or
http://localhost:8123/local/adhan_fajr_makkah.mp3
I’ve put the audio on the internal server on a local ip address and it works fine
weird! but i guess we can let this one go cause it could just be my internal network playing games.

I tried to run this portion in service console and worked fine for me , i used google chrom cast.
I also created this automation and from service trigger it and worked fine, try instead of using hassio.local, use the ip address of your pi, like http://192.168.7.10:8123/local/adan.mp3
Hey Hassan, Thanks for your assistance so far. I’ve come across another interesting issue, im not sure if this is a limitation or not, but I can only play 2 files per trigger…
so lets say im playing adhan and then the dua after it… it wont go past that.
They should work try the url in a browser and see if you have access and it runs, if so it should work, make sure you have the delays well measured.
These work for me with a goole home mini:
