Modifying the 'next alarm' sensor data before sending it to a text helper

Configuration

Hi,

For a bedtime routine automation i need to take the value of my phones ‘next alarm’ sensor to be modified and stored into a text helper.

Originally the sensor value looks like this: Fri Jun 10 06:45:00 GMT+02:00 2022
I would like to modify it to look like this: Friday 06:45

I’ve never done any templating and hope someone can help me with this

You can use:

{{ (state_attr('sensor.note_20_next_alarm', 'Time in Milliseconds')/1000) | timestamp_custom("%A %H:%M")}}

Or you could have a look at:
