I’d like to set a yearly reminder. I want my google home to sing happy birthday to my kids every year on their birthday at 6 o’clock. I can use the sensor.date component but I want it to trigger every year and therefore I don’t want to match a specific date '2017-08-01" as an example. I want the year to be a wildcard. I’m relatively new to HA, but am having fun and would appreciate any help on this one.
Have you looked into the Google calendar component? I’m thinking you should be able to add a calendar for birthdays and then use an automation rule?

That would be the easiest way I can see. Wild cards no longer an issue using GCals repeating function. Then it’s just a matter of setting up the proper sensor to trigger the automation.
You could always have a sensor for each birthday and work an automation off that. Here is a great example
