Automation to use Sonos speaker as alarm - never triggers except manually

Configuration Blueprints
1

I am trying to use the HA Automations to create an Alarm every morning that plays a radiostationt through my Sonos One (w/Alexa) speaker.

When I manually trigger it, it works as expected. However, it never triggers itself based on the Time (05:45) that i’ve set the automation to run at.

Pulling my hair out! Any advise is super appreciated.

What does the trace show? I suspect one of your conditions is causing it to fail. Conditions are not checked if you run the automation manually.

Could you explain what you mean by trace please?

You can use template triggers for this. For instance, this triggers a light based on a certain alarm id:

description: ""
triggers:
  - value_template: |
      {% set entity = 'switch.sonos_alarm_123' %} {{
        state_attr(entity, 'scheduled_today')
        and now().replace(microsecond=0) == today_at(state_attr(entity, 'time'))
      }}
    trigger: template
conditions: []
actions:
  - data:
      brightness_pct: 100
      transition: 600
    action: light.turn_on
    target:
      device_id: 123
mode: single
