I used my android phone timer as an alarm when the home away sensor triggers, way better than repeat notification sound, wrote a blog about it with all the automations.

I think itā€™s possible to set a notification channel, in there you have the option to choose Sound.

Hello from the future!
If you are still here, Mahmood, thanks for the blog post, but should the data lines not be intent_action, intent_extras etc, rather than channel tag and group?

        intent_package_name: "com.google.android.deskclock"
        intent_action: "android.intent.action.SET_TIMER"
        intent_extras: "android.intent.extra.alarm.LENGTH:1"

Also, my galaxy phone doesnā€™t seem to have the deskclock package, but actually commenting that line out and just asking to set a timer works anyway, as long as you only have one clock/alarm app installed.
