I was now able to do it with two changes in the blueprint:
line 97:
seconds: '{{float(states(sunrise_duration)) * 60}}'
line 36:
sunrise_duration:
name: Sunrise duration
description: The sunrise will start the configured number of minutes before
the timestamp.
default: none
selector:
entity: {}
Together with the changes described here and some additional config is it possible to use the nice Lovelace alarm card from here:
Change the Blueprint according like described here
Install the lightalarm-card like described here
Add the following to you configuration.yaml:

- 'date_time_iso'
- platform: template
sensors:
lightalarm_1_startdate:
device_class: timestamp

on
{% elif is_state('input_select.lightalarm_1_mode', 'Every Day') %}
on
{% else %}
off
{% endif %}
input_datetime:
lightalarm_1_time:
name: Alarm 1 Time
has_date: false
has_time: true
input_number:
lightalarm_1_duration:

input_select:
lightalarm_1_mode:

Add the lightalarm-card to your UI and use your created inputs:
Configure the automation:
Hope I haven’t forget anything, let me know if something doesn’t work.
@Sbyx Could you please add a field, for an entity or trigger, that would instantly move the automation to its end phase, if used at any point after the automation has started running?
This would be very useful for people using the phone’s alarm as a trigger.
If you wake up after the automation has started, but before the phone’s alarm has started ringing, you could use this to turn the lights up to full brightness by dismissing the upcoming alarm notification on the phone.
Also, please add more “Additional entities to check before sunrise is triggered” fields.
It would be very useful to be able to check multiple things before triggering, like for example a presence sensor (to make sure you didn’t leave in the middle of the night for some emergency) and a lux sensor (to not trigger the automation, if you were just taking an afternoon nap and the room is otherwise flooded with daylight).
I am not sure if this will help you, but here is what I just got working. input_datetime.alarm is an input datetime with just time, as I didn’t want to have to set the date every day.
alarm_time_with_date:
friendly_name: "Alarm Time with Date"
value_template: "{{states('sensor.date')~' '~states('input_datetime.alarm')}}"
device_class: timestamp
Hey guys, I hope I didn’t miss this issue in a previous comment (Ctrl-F didn’t help me find anything), but I’m having trouble setting this up with the Next_Alarm sensor.

I feel like I’m missing something obvious here or did some stupid mistake. Can someone help me out on this?
I’m having some issues with getting this automation to work, and I can’t really find any answers in this thread.
To me it looks like issues with the time checks, where some use sensor.date_time_iso and some use now() which seem to return…different results.
See here:
Could these differences be why nothing is running?
It looks like the missing TZ info on sensor.date_time_iso is what’s causing issues. If I manually add +01:00 to the sensor time, it’s correct.
Hey All, so I have everything set up and all other integrations work (mostly as intended). For whatever reason, no matter what I set the start value at on a few different brands of lights the lowest I can get one of them is 54% brightness. The light that I want to use starts at 100% no matter what.
Does anyone have any ideas on what might be causing the high start value?
Soo. One a bit more complicated problem. I have this Automation and I transferred it to a Automation w/o all the blueprint stuff. Now the time stuff is working, like starting 10 Minutes before the alarm and also the pre and post sunrise effect action are getting fired. Now just the brightness is the problem. It starts at 1 brightness then nothing happens(Like not getting brighter) for ~8:45 minutes and then it turns off. Also the trace is not longer available after that. Not sure what’s really happening with that.

Hi there, hope there’s someone knowledgeable that can help me with this. I’m a day 1 newbie and although borderline illiterate with code, most of the time I can about figure out how to botch together what I need.
I can’t get the automation to activate. When checking the Trace Timeline I’m getting the following message. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Triggered by the time pattern at 28 December 2021, 18:45:00

This is the accompanying message from the error log:

Thanks in advance guys!
I have the same issue. Is there any solution for it?
Looks like automations created with this blueprint are throwing some errors:
2021-12-29 15:40:00 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.helpers.template] Template warning: 'as_timestamp' got invalid input 'unavailable' when rendering template '{{0 < as_timestamp(states(sensor) if sensor != 'none' else states('sensor.date') ~ ' ' ~ manual_time) - as_timestamp(states('sensor.date_time_iso')) <= float(seconds) and states(check_entity) in ['unknown', 'on', 'home']}}' but no default was specified. Currently 'as_timestamp' will return 'None', however this template will fail to render in Home Assistant core 2022.1
You can try to change all “none”'s in the template to “None”. That’s work for me, but after this change I get the same error as @vitek and @vajdum
Edit: At first use of this blueprint I get this TypeError, but after playing around and type again “none” everything works fine. Maybe you have to type it in, even when the fild contains “none” already?!
The Error “Stopped because only a single execution is allowed at …” seems to be okay, you have to look at the first trace were the automation is “still running” (HA prevent to restart a new run in single-mode, see Automation Modes).
New to HA and wanted to say thanks for this blueprint, it provided a great base for the functionality I wanted.
I’ve added support to add a speaker that slowly increases the volume in combination with the light. This is tested with a Sonos speaker (IKEA Symfonisk). I’m using IKEA Trådfri bulbs so I also had to do some minor changes to how brightness is set. I’ve also added the possibility to lock the color temperature to the set value (incase you want to only increase brightness) and fixed some minor issues with the timestamps.
The issue with the timestamps came from that sensor.time_date_time_iso doesn’t include the timezone information while now() does. So when converted to timestamps, they give different times.
{{states('sensor.date_time_iso')}} = 2022-01-08T20:05:00
{{now()}} = 2022-01-08 20:05:00.004820+01:00
When converted, these should give the same time but
{{as_timestamp(states('sensor.date_time_iso'))}} = 1641672300.0
{{as_timestamp(now())}} = 1641668700.004835
This problem also applies when setting the time manually as
states(''sensor.date'') ~ '' '' ~ manual_time)
also lacks information about the timezone.
Below is my full code with the added functionality and fixes incase it’s useful for someone.
EDIT: I fell victim for the “never post anything until fully tested”. Fixed the code below.

Hello, did you manage to fix the issue? I have the exact same problem. If i try to trigger the action manually it stops with the following error.

Same error for me. The automation doesn’t work 
In case it helps anyone else, I hacked (it’s gross) my version of this blueprint to accomodate what I assume are issues related to this breaking change as mentioned in the release notes of 2021.12: Add datetime object as valid StateType by frenck · Pull Request #52671 · home-assistant/core · GitHub
I deleted the timestamp device class from my sensor, so now it just reads:
sensors:
- platform: template
alarm_time_with_date:
friendly_name: "Alarm Time with Date"
value_template: "{{states('sensor.date')~' '~states('input_datetime.alarm')}}"
I then modified my local version of /config/blueprints/automation/Sbyx/wake-up-light-alarm-with-sunrise-effect.yaml and changed line 21 to just specify the domain as a sensor instead of device_class as timestamp. I will probably pay for these sins later.
timestamp_sensor:
name: Alarm timestamp sensor
description: 'Sensor with timestamp of next alarm with device_class: timestamp
(set to ''none'' for manual alarm time)'
default: none
selector:
entity:
domain: sensor
This allowed me to then select my sensor.alarm_time_with_date as my alarm timestamp sensor. It seems to be working based on one test, but I’ll go to bed now and see how it goes in a few hours. 
this worked for me as well!
However, is this breaking change not addressed in the updated version by @sbyx from nov '21?
hey,
I love this blueprint and it’s really awesome,
but I do want to ask a small question…
regarding for creating a timestamp and using it, i"m a bit of a noob, so i apologize in advance
i scanned the thread and found 2 mentions for how to create a time stamp, i used that, and i can see in the blueprint the newly created time stamp,
but what I fail to do, is to assign a time for that sensor… i searched google for examples, but I did not understand those examples that i found…
help would be appreciated
Hi there,
First I would like to thank you for your contribution. It’s a really nice blueprint you made.
But I just created an automation from your blueprint and encountered an error. Let me give you some details:
Stopped because an error was encountered at 30 January 2022, 09:04:00 (runtime: 0.01 seconds) In 'template' condition: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'NoneType' and 'NoneType'Hope this helps you troubleshoot the problem.
Cheers,
Amer
Hi, nice blueprint.
Small suggestion:
replace states(''sensor.date'') with now().date() and as_timestamp(states(''sensor.date_time_iso'')) with as_timestamp(now()).
Then it is no longer required to use the time_date integration for the sensors, which makes it easier to integrate this blueprint.
