Creating an alarm clock ! updated

hokagegano · April 8, 2017, 10:05am

I didn’t find a component to create an alarm clock for my difficult morning, so i implement that.
It’s composed with simple modules

We need 2 input_slider alarmminutes for minutes and alarmhour for hour.
one sensor to display wake up time from the two slider.
And two input_boolean, alarmweekon to activate/desactivate the alarm, and alarmweekday to setup alarm for the weekdays (if this one is activated only the weekdays are active, if not it will activate for only weekend days).

in the configuration.yaml :

input_slider:
  alarmhour:
    name: Heure
    icon: mdi:timer
    initial: 6
    min: 0
    max: 23
    step: 1
  alarmminutes:
    name: Minutes
    icon: mdi:timer
    initial: 30
    min: 0
    max: 59
    step: 5

input_boolean:
  alarmweekday:
    name: Les jours de la semaine 
    initial: on
    icon: mdi:calendar
  alarmweekon:
    name: Activee     
    initial: on


group:
  alarmclock:
    name: Wake Me Up
    entities: 
      - sensor.alarm_time
      - input_slider.alarmhour
      - input_slider.alarmminutes
      - input_boolean.alarmweekday
      - input_boolean.alarmweekon

in the sensors.yaml :

- platform: template
  sensors:
    alarm_time:
      friendly_name: 'Time'
      value_template: '{{ "%0.02d:%0.02d" | format(states("input_slider.alarmhour") | int, states("input_slider.alarmminutes") | int) }}'

And we need automation to finish that :

  - alias: "Wake me up with bedroom light transition for weekdays"
    trigger:
      - platform: time
        minutes: '/1'
        seconds: 0
    condition:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: input_boolean.alarmweekon
        state: 'on'
      - condition: state
        entity_id: input_boolean.alarmweekday
        state: 'on'
      - condition: time
        weekday:
          - mon
          - tue
          - wed
          - thu
          - fri
      - condition: template
        value_template: '{{ now().strftime("%H:%M") == states.sensor.alarm_time.state }}'
    action:
      - service: light.turn_on
        entity_id: light.bedroom
        data:
          transition: 600
          brightness: 255
  - alias: "Wake me up with bedroom light transition for weekend days"
    trigger:
      - platform: time
        minutes: '/1'
        seconds: 0
    condition:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: input_boolean.alarmweekon
        state: 'on'
      - condition: state
        entity_id: input_boolean.alarmweekday
        state: 'off'
      - condition: time
        weekday:
          - sat
          - sun
      - condition: template
        value_template: '{{ now().strftime("%H:%M") == states.sensor.alarm_time.state }}'
    action:
      service: light.turn_on
      entity_id: light.bedroom
      data:
        transition: 600
        brightness: 255

Many improvements could be found in digging the original post:

Thanks a lot for your project and description!
Do you know how I could modify it so that it is possible to set the next alarm time via Google Home / IFTTT / Voice?

poldim · November 17, 2017, 7:04am

Thanks for the writeup @hokagegano! I tried adapting your code for my setup but it gave me errors.

Looks like input_slider might be obsolete, replacing it with input_number made it work.

hokagegano · November 17, 2017, 8:22am

Hi @poldim

you’re right with the use of input_number.
The code updated :

input_number:
  alarmhour:
    name: Heure
    icon: mdi:timer
    initial: 6
    min: 0
    max: 23
    step: 1
    mode: slider
  alarmminutes:
    name: Minutes
    icon: mdi:timer
    initial: 35
    min: 0
    max: 59
    step: 5
    mode: slider

For the group

  alarmclock:
    name: Wake Me Up
    entities: 
      - input_boolean.freebox
      - sensor.alarm_time
      - input_number.alarmhour
      - input_number.alarmminutes
      - input_boolean.alarmweekday
      - input_boolean.alarmweekon

in sensor.yaml

- platform: template
  sensors:
    alarm_time:
      friendly_name: 'Time'
      value_template: '{{ "%0.02d:%0.02d" | format(states("input_number.alarmhour") | int, states("input_number.alarmminutes") | int) }}'

and for automation

  - alias: "Wake me up with bedroom light transition for weekdays"
    trigger:
      - platform: time
        minutes: '/1'
        seconds: 0

      - condition: state
        entity_id: input_boolean.alarmweekon
        state: 'on'
      - condition: state
        entity_id: input_boolean.alarmweekday
        state: 'on'
      - condition: time
        weekday:
          - mon
          - tue
          - wed
          - thu
          - fri
      - condition: template
        value_template: '{{ now().strftime("%H:%M") == states.sensor.alarm_time.state }}'

Peleke · November 24, 2017, 6:55pm

Thanks @hokagegano for sharing your project!
I am using it successfully but have changed the actions a little bit:

action:
  - service: media_player.volume_set
    data_template:
      entity_id: media_player.schlafzimmer
      volume_level: 0.1
  - service: tts.google_say
    entity_id: media_player.schlafzimmer
    data:
      message: "Guten Morgen. Es ist {{now().hour}} Uhr {{now().minute}}"
      cache: false
  - service: media_player.play_media
    data_template:
      entity_id: media_player.wohnung
      media_content_id: 'http://fluxfm.hoerradar.de/fluxfmberlin-live-aac-mq?sABC=59s45n23%230%23no8617362n29q2o435p17n54928n16s5%23gharva&amsparams=playerid:tunein;skey:1509186083'
      media_content_type: 'audio/mp4'

The only problem is the action with tts because it doesn’t get executed (at least I cannot hear a word and also nothing in the error log). I have tried the same action in the service tool of Home Assistant and it worked. How can I fix it in this project as well?

3vasi0n · January 12, 2018, 1:12pm

Hey @Peleke not sure if you’re still having the issue of the tts not working but here’s a couple of things you can try. First thing is to comment out the part for playing the music and test to see if the tts works without it. If it does then set up like a 5 second delay after the tts and before the play media. I had the same issue and what happens is the music plays before the tts gets a chance to play and takes over. If that doesn’t work then maybe try switching

data:
  message: "Guten Morgen. Es ist {{now().hour}} Uhr {{now().minute}}"
  cache: false

to

data_template:
  message: "Guten Morgen. Es ist {{now().hour}} Uhr {{now().minute}}"
  cache: false

Peleke · January 24, 2018, 9:26pm

Thanks, I got it working now with the added delay

eric3616191 · May 4, 2018, 3:50pm

Hey, can you share a complete copy for me? thank you! I need it very much.

maurizio53 · October 14, 2018, 11:39am

Can you share your input_boolean.alarmweekon and input_boolean.alarmweekday ?
Thanks

maurizio53 · October 14, 2018, 11:52am

What is inside input_boolean.freebox ?

hokagegano · October 14, 2018, 4:46pm

Hi,

Sorry for the late.
alarmweekday allow to trigger alarm only the working days
alarmweekon is the activated button for alarm.

The freebox is a french isp box, this boolean allow to power on the box with the alarm.

maurizio53 · October 14, 2018, 5:20pm

Ok, thanks…

maurizio53 · October 17, 2018, 9:15am

Can you tell me how to change the default alarm clock hour?
I tried to change the sensor.alarm_time, but really don’t understand how…
The line is the following:

{{ "%0.02d:%0.02d" | format(states("input_number.alarmhour") | int, states("input_number.alarmminutes") | int) }}'

hokagegano · October 17, 2018, 4:09pm

maurizio53 · October 18, 2018, 10:27am

It works as before. What i don’t understand is how to set a default alarm hour than 06:35? Where to change it?

hokagegano · October 18, 2018, 12:18pm

The default value is on the declaration of input_number value initial …

maurizio53 · October 18, 2018, 12:26pm

Ah, ok i see… thanks

jerxjac · June 20, 2019, 2:27pm

I had to change platform: time to platform: time_pattern
because of a error when saving. But stil not working for me
Is it possible that there has to be made more changes to let it work on HA 0.94.3 ?

trigger:
      - platform: time
        minutes: '/1'
        seconds: 0

To >

  trigger:
      - platform: time_pattern
        minutes: '/1'
        #seconds: 0

hokagegano · June 20, 2019, 3:00pm

Hi,

For me the code works well i wake up everyday with that :

- id: reveil matin Aurore Semaine

Thank you for your quick responce hokagegano,
I tried your piece of code but that didn’t do the trick either.

Here is what I have
configuration.yaml

input_number:
  alarmhour:
    name: Heure
    icon: mdi:timer
    initial: 6
    min: 0
    max: 23

    icon: mdi:timer
    initial: 35
    min: 0
    max: 59
    step: 5
    mode: slider

input_boolean:
  alarmweekday:
    name: Les jours de la semaine 
    initial: on
    icon: mdi:calendar
  alarmweekon:
    name: Activee     
    initial: on

      entity_id: light.voordeurlamp
      #data:
      #  transition: 600
      #  brightness: 255

Created a sensors.yaml file and added ’ sensor: !include sensors.yaml’ to configuration.yaml

group: !include groups.yaml
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
sensor: !include sensors.yaml

sensors.yaml

- platform: template
  sensors:
    alarm_time:
      friendly_name: 'Time'
      value_template: '{{ "%0.02d:%0.02d" | format(states("input_number.alarmhour") | int, states("input_number.alarmminutes") | int) }}'

And created a group.yaml, only I dont’s know if does anything because I use Lovelace frontend.
sensors.yaml

  alarmclock:
    name: Wake Me Up
    entities:
      - sensor.alarm_time
      - input_number.alarmhour
      - input_number.alarmminutes
      - input_boolean.alarmweekday
      - input_boolean.alarmweekon

So I also created a Custom Card in Lovelace

Hope you can tell what is wrong with this setup
