If you understand HA, you can use my sample to create all kinds of automations using components that are already supported by HA, not just Hue.
I don’t know python but you know and you can create custom components. I’m sure it is easy for you to learn HA.
I know It can be done using YAML in HA but I think making a custom_component is a better way.
And yes, it can be made for all kinds of components, I just haven’t figured out which method is the best yet 
Good job masterkenobi (and thanks for the code!)! Works excellent with my system!
Implementing it gave me good reason for cleaning up my sensors/automations
Hi,
I just want to go further the processus to create an alarm on a specific time. I want to get an alarm on weekend day at a specific time only if weather outside is OK to go running / biking or skiing
Do I need to create another alarm or modify this to get a more complex automation script ?
Thanks
you can duplicate the existing alarm clock and add new condition in the automation. for example…
- condition: state
entity_id: sensor.owm_rain
state: 'not raining'Hello!
This topic inspired me to my first HA project. I’m new to YAML but not really to coding in general and I can’t get my natural wakeup to work. My light cannot use “transition” so I decided to make a script out of it.
My setup in the dashboard looks like this (don’t mind 23:01, it’s for testing 
):
I want to be able to choose for how long the light will transition into full brightness!
I’m going to do it in 10 steps with 10% brightness, 20% brightness etc… so the script has to fetch from the slider, how long time the delay between every increment is.
The script right now looks like this and are being called succesfully from the trigger. For the purpose of testing, I’m putting the value of the slider directly as the delay time:
script:
wakeuplight_script_fade:
alias: Wakeup Light Fading
sequence:
- alias: Wakeup Light 10
service: light.turn_on
entity_id: light.light1
data:
brightness: 40
- delay:
minutes: '{{ states.input_slider.wakeuplight_fade.state | int }}'
[and then repeat the brightness increment]
The “wakeuplight_fade” is the fading time slider shown in the dashboard.
This script runs through without problem if I use an integer instead of the slider state.
Why can’t delay understand the slider state?
Best regards
After digging around some more I actually found out how to do it!
- delay: '00:{{ states.input_slider.wakeuplight_fade.state | int }}:00'
That’s the key!
Thanks @masterkenobi . I kind of used your codes by a shameless copy into my system ; working great so far 
could u post your whole code? nice functio with fade.
Please post your finished code, I’m a zombie in the morning
Any chance you can release this? Would love to use the fading feature.

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply. I recently moved to a new place and just got internet. Which also means my raspi and HASS is not up yet. Before I moved out, the function was only working for fixed times. I would like it to work for any time specified (setting the alarm to 08:10 should automatically calculate -30min for the fade to start at 07:40). I never got this to work though… so my code atm is only working with my normal wakup time.
The code is on my raspi which is not packed up yet… 
As soon as I get plugged in I will post it to you guys! Hang tight!
I’ve also implemented the alarm by picking up some bits here and there, here is the complete configuration:

This alarm will only be triggered if someone is home (device_tracker in alarm_executor automation).
When the alarm “ring” it while turn on the light call “light.ikea_boy” in my system, of course you’ll have to adapt it according to your light/group/etc…
A group is created showing the alarm settings:
I thanks all the participant to this topic from which i took part of code to assemble this alarm clock 
Thank you, looking forward to trying it.
Would you mind posting your code to paste bin? I don’t know if its just me, but this forum seem to mangle indents continually anytime I’m around.
thanks
It’s not just you, I also realized that… maybe there is a way to format code, I used “Preformated text”.
Anyway here is the code in PasteBin
http://pastebin.com/TnJGQhtf
I have same situation as @Fnykis
Currently in process of building led lamp with ESP8266 which will emulate the sunrise, so I need the automation to be triggered about 30 minutes before the actual wake up.
So here is my version:

No additional sensors used in this setup.
Tried to follow the example of masterkenobi with no luck. Doesn’t trigger. Does it work with HA 0,3++?
