Creating a alarm clock

[Bob_NL (Bob Visser)]

@keithh666

… I use sliders to set the start and finish times…

What’s the point of setting the finish time? Do you have any events triggered on that value?

[turboc (Chip Cox)]

it’s in appdaemon so it’s all python code. But I will post it in a while, still have a couple of changes and some personal information to move elsewhere.

[Rodolfo_Vieira]

please share your code

[turboc (Chip Cox)]

will do once it’s documented and cleaned up.

[keithh666 (Keith Hull)]

Only to turn off the lights and radio in the bedroom, I just find it easy to use the sliders to set the off time, I suppose you could use a delay and templates to do the same thing. Next on the list is a snooze button

@keithh666

I suppose you could use a delay

That’s what I use .

OK, here it is…

        step: 1
      alarmmins:
        name: Alarm Minutes
        icon: mdi:timer
        initial: 10
        min: 0
        max: 59
        step: 1
      alarmfinishhr:

thanks you

[farstreet (Jurgen)]

I think you forgot your sensors (alarm_time and alarm_time_fin), unless they were mentioned earlier already of course. Didn’t read the whole threat. But cool work!

[keithh666 (Keith Hull)]

yep

- platform: template
  sensors:
    alarm_hour:
#      friendly_name: 'Hour'
      value_template: '{{ states("input_slider.alarmhour") | round(0) }}'
    alarm_minutes:
#      friendly_name: 'Minutes'
      value_template: '{{ states("input_slider.alarmmins") | round(0) }}'
    alarm_time:
      friendly_name: 'Time'
      value_template: '{% if states("sensor.alarm_hour")|length == 1 %}0{% endif %}{{ states("sensor.alarm_hour") }}:{% if states("sensor.alarm_minutes")|length == 1 %}0{% endif %}{{ states("sensor.alarm_minutes") }}'
    alarm_hour_fin:
#      friendly_name: 'FinHour'
      value_template: '{{ states("input_slider.alarmfinishhr") | round(0) }}'

[farstreet (Jurgen)]

Consider this. To be fair, I copy/pasted & adapted it from an earlier entry in this topic

  alarm_time:
    friendly_name: "Alarm start time"
    value_template: '{{ "%0.02d:%0.02d" | format(states("input_slider.alarmhour") | int, states("input_slider.alarmmins") | int) }}'

  alarm_time_fin:
    friendly_name: "Alarm end time"
    value_template: '{{ "%0.02d:%0.02d" | format(states("input_slider.alarmfinishhr") | int, states("input_slider.alarmfinishmins") | int) }}'

[keithh666 (Keith Hull)]

Look good and is certainly more compact does it work so that you get a leading zero?

[Bob_NL (Bob Visser)]

I extended my alarm clock with a Lullaby option

Lullaby initiates with a HTTP Post command which is send from Tasker when I lay my phone on the wireless charger next to my bed. It first changes the sliders (via MQTT) to a different value and then to the value of which my alarmtime is set (readout with AutoAlarm). Then it recalculates the time left untill my next alarm, sends this as TTS to my bedroom speaker and finally fires the Lullaby trigger (if it’s set to “On” of course).

If anyone is intrerested in the configurations, let me know.

[Rodolfo_Vieira]

I have interest.share with us please.

Ok here we go. Perhaps it has gotten way to complicated but this is my result after HOURS and HOURS of trial and error ( with a lot of help from the experts on this forum) and it seems to do the job pretty well

I made a video guide for how to make an alarm clock from start to finish. It might be useful if you’re stuck.

Ultimate Alarm Clock with Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi

[davemccrea (David McCrea)]

Hi,

Similarly to you Bob_NL, I’ve used the following succesfully:

'{{ (now().strftime("%s") | int | timestamp_custom("%H:%M")) == states.input_select.alarmtime.state }}

However, unlike you, the following does not work for me:

'{{ ((now().strftime("%s") | int + 1200) | timestamp_custom("%H:%M")) }} == {{ states.input_select.alarmtime.state }}'

I’ve spent hours tweaking with no success. I’d ideally like the automation to run x amount of time before the alarm time. Anybody any ideas?

[lv-88]

Hey @davemccrea ! So if I understand you correct I should be doing precicely that with my alarm clock on hass. What I wanted to do was trigger my automation 5 minutes EARLIER than the alarm time you choose.

All I did was a have a second template sensor for the time like so:
alarm_time:
friendly_name: ‘Time with offset’
value_template: ‘{{ “%0.02d:%0.02d” | format(states(“input_slider.alarmhour”) | int, states(“input_slider.alarmminutes”) | int - 5) }}’

So my trigger uses the above like so:
trigger:
platform: template
value_template: ‘{{ states.sensor.time.state == states.sensor.alarm_time.state }}’

As for the hass front end/ui “time” I basscially have another time sensor display the correct time when you choose with the sliders, and viola, it works for me

EDIT: ugh the code formating on the forum is not workingproperly for me

[davemccrea (David McCrea)]

Thanks for the code @lv-88! Could do the trick …

What happens, as an example, if you set your alarm for 0703? Am I right in saying that the automation would begin at 0700 rather than 0658?

[lv-88]

Well that won’t happen in my case since I have incremental steps of 5 for the minute slider, but if it didn’t have it I guess you are correct
