Cancel Alexa alarms via HA?

Configuration
1

I have set alarms on my Echo devices but we’re usually already up at that point, so the alarms are only annoying. But it would be unsafe to remove them altogether.

Is it possible to somehow skip the next alarm, triggered by something else (maybe light on in bathroom between specific times, a toothbrush integration…)? I use the Alexa Media Player integration.

I tried to automate this in the Alexa app itself, but didn’t find a way to set lights or whatever as triggers.

Thanks!

Hi @Stooovie

I have an automation that cancels my alarm if I get in the shower. An action that does this is:

action: media_player.play_media
data:
  media_content_id: Cancel alarm
  media_content_type: custom
target:
  entity_id: media_player.bedroom_2

You can do anything you like in the media_content_id: key - anything that Alexa can understand.
