Dear All,

I have some similar problem. This is my first automation ever and not yet sure why it’s not getting triggered. I would appreciate if someone could help identifying the issue.

Here is my code:

alias: Azan Time Automation
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: time
    at:
      - sensor.dhuhr_prayer
      - sensor.asr_prayer
      - sensor.maghrib_prayer
      - sensor.isha_prayer
condition: []
action:
  - service: media_player.turn_on
    data: {}
    target:
      device_id: 02c9112fa0822830477d21d3d36d8f9a
      area_id: living_room

  - delay:

      minutes: 0
      seconds: 15
      milliseconds: 0
  - service: media_player.play_media

      media_content_type: audio/mpeg
    metadata:

        - media_content_type: app
          media_content_id: media-source://dlna_dms
        - media_content_type: object.container
          media_content_id: "media-source://dlna_dms/avm_fritz_mediaserver/:4:cont1:20:0:0:"
        - media_content_type: object.container
          media_content_id: "media-source://dlna_dms/avm_fritz_mediaserver/:4:cont1:50:0:0:"
  - delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 2
      seconds: 20
      milliseconds: 0
  - service: media_player.turn_off
    data: {}
    target:
      device_id: 02c9112fa0822830477d21d3d36d8f9a
      area_id: living_room
      entity_id: media_player.samsung_6_series_49
mode: single

The action part is tested independently (using fixed time trigger) and is working. But the trigger using these sensors is not taking any effect.

Thanks
Regards

For the template trigger that triggers before each prayer… is the seconds digits format limited to 3+ characters? If I set it to 120 secs and above the automation trigger works. However, if I set it to 90 secs the automation fails to trigger. Tried it multiple times and it fails with 90 secs. If I change the 90 to 120 the automation triggers works just fine.

Though not a big deal with 30 more seconds as I have automated the whole home receiver to turn on 2 mins before each prayer and then turn it off after the prayer ends. Just curious as to why it fails on 90 secs and works on 120 secs.

So this trigger works

{{ now().timestamp() | int(0) + 120 in expand('sensor.fajr_prayer', 'sensor.dhuhr_prayer', 'sensor.asr_prayer', 'sensor.isha_prayer', 'sensor.maghrib_prayer')
    | map(attribute='state') | map('as_timestamp') | list }}

And this fails to trigger.

{{ now().timestamp() | int(0) + 90 in expand('sensor.fajr_prayer', 'sensor.dhuhr_prayer', 'sensor.asr_prayer', 'sensor.isha_prayer', 'sensor.maghrib_prayer')
    | map(attribute='state') | map('as_timestamp') | list }}

I need feedback for the easy automated azan skill/app i developed for Alexa and Google Speakers. please visit SmartAzan.com for instructions.

Ihek · January 27, 2024, 1:54pm

Dear Tara123
I hope you will help with this automation.
I want AZAN to start 25 minutes before the AZAN sensor.
I can make it to start after but I want it before for fajr sensor. I can’t but minutes in minus

alias: AZAN 1 FAJR
trigger:

platform: time

Thank you in advance for your help

Try this version. It uses a Template Trigger that triggers when the current time is greater than or equal to the sensor’s time minus 25 minutes.

alias: AZAN 1 FAJR
trigger:
  - platform: template 
    value_template: >
      {{ now() >= states('sensor.islamic_prayer_times_fajr_prayer') | as_datetime | as_local - 
        timedelta(minutes=25) }}
condition: []
action:
  - service: media_player.volume_set
    target:
      device_id: 5a85bf93b7f168c1e30ef635fbb6f668
      entity_id: media_player.nesthub321b
    data:
      volume_level: 0.62
  - service: media_player.play_media
    target:
      device_id: 5a85bf93b7f168c1e30ef635fbb6f668
      entity_id: media_player.nesthub321b
    data:
      media_content_id: /local/azan/Fajr1.mp4
      media_content_type: Video mp4
mode: single

Ihek · January 27, 2024, 3:29pm

Thank you very much. I will try it

Ihek · January 27, 2024, 5:50pm

I tried this automation with Isha AZAN to see if it works. Unfortunately it didn’t trigger before the time .
I can still trigger the automation manually, but it didn’t work automatically.
Maybe I will wait to see if fajr can trigger before the time or I am missing something

123 · January 27, 2024, 7:17pm

Copy-paste the following template into the Template Editor and let me know what it reports:

{{ now() }}
{{ states('sensor.islamic_prayer_times_fajr_prayer') }}
{{ states('sensor.islamic_prayer_times_fajr_prayer') | as_datetime | as_local }}
{{ states('sensor.islamic_prayer_times_fajr_prayer') | as_datetime | as_local - timedelta(minutes=25) }}

Ihek · January 27, 2024, 7:41pm

I pasted in my template editor. I think I will wait to see what will happen tomorrow.

123 · January 27, 2024, 8:23pm

So what did it report?

Ihek · January 27, 2024, 9:13pm

I don’t know if you mean this

123 · January 27, 2024, 9:40pm

Yes, thank you, that’s exactly what I wanted to see.

The third line tells me that the next Fajr time is tomorrow morning at 06:58 in your timezone.
The last line reports 06:30 which is 28 minutes before Fajr time.

Ihek · January 28, 2024, 11:43am

I waited for it at fajr . I didn’t hear AZAN but my original AZAN was triggered ( I made separate automation for both)

I tried with duhr AZAN with the template but nothing happen.

Do you think I should copy paste the last template ( with 3 lines) in the automation . The automation you sent to me has just the third line of the template

Or there is another reason

123 · January 28, 2024, 4:21pm

Probably another reason because I tested the Template Trigger (using a different sensor) and it worked.

Ihek · January 29, 2024, 5:30am

IT WORKS
Thank you Very much.

Assalamualaykum,

I’ve created a template a while back.
Thought you guys might find it beneficial inshaAllah.

### Home Assistant Islamic Prayer Time [Extended] ##
Reference: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/islamic_prayer_times

Assalamu'alaikum

The current integration only creates sensors consist of fajr, dhuhr, asr, maghrib, isha, sunrise and midnight.
This will add 2 additional sensors which will ease in creating adzan automation:
1. Current Prayer Time
2. Imsak Time
