I personally prefer amazon
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.

entity_id: media_player.hall_speaker

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:

Brother Thanks for the guide, It was easy to follow and I was able to setup.
my only issue now is if i change the calculation_method from mwl to isna in the configuration.yaml file it doesn’t work. am i suppose to do anything else other than just changing the mwl to isna.
Please show us screenshots of your automation.yaml, configuration.yaml and sensor state (Developer tools -> States) for further investigation.
make sure also your longitude and latitude are corresponds to your location

Salam Alikoum, I successfully got work this athan sensor ,and I changed calculated method to isna and I reload the scripts automations , and now the sensors didn’t get changed till restart control server, so I have to restart it every day to make it work, i updated the ha to the last version but still not working. Did someone get same issue? What’s the solution? Jazakoum allahou khayrane
My guess, without further diving in: you didn’t enable your time sensor in HA.
Enable and try again. Without enabling time_date the automation is only triggered when you restart…
Thanks for replay, this is already done in configuration.yaml . Ant it works before I added some other sensors like environemt_ canada platform, is there any log file can i check the log
I too continue to struggle with time adhan sensors updating to newer date and time. They continue to stuck there for a while and get update at some random hour in the day. That means sometimes Fajar and Duhar azan never gets played. I have all done correct set-up but still …
