Hi everyone,
I switched from ioBroker to Home Assistant a few days ago and I’m really excited about it. There’s one thing I can’t seem to get to work, though.
In ioBroker, I had integrated my Echo Dots using the Alexa adapter. Using a Blockly script, I would set an alarm on the Alexa in my bedroom every evening via the “Add new Alarm” data point and the corresponding time. That worked really well.
However, I haven’t found a data point in Home Assistant for setting an alarm. I can only find a sensor that reads and displays the current alarms, but it doesn’t seem to be possible to control them.
I then tried using this command:
action: media_player.play_media
target:
entity_id: media_player.bedroom_2
data:
media_content_type: custom
media_content_id: “Set the alarm for 7 a.m.”
It does work, but then it always speaks and says that the alarm has been set. But I want the whole thing to work completely silently. What I’ve already tried is using `volume_level`: first setting the volume to 0, then setting the alarm, and then returning it to the previous volume. But that didn’t work either—even at volume 0, it still spoke. It also speaks in Do Not Disturb mode. Has anyone managed to solve this problem?
Thank you for your help!
