Automatically adjust automations based off reply from actionable notification | Home Assistant | Page 1

Hello,
I often go to bed at very different times, so I would like to have HA send me an actionable notification at 10 PM that I can reply to with the time I have my alarm set to (because no alarm apps have an api I can grab that from). I want to use the time that I enter to automatically change some automations I have set up (turn up the lights, run command from Google home, etc) so that they come on earlier or later depending on when my alarm is set. I have been messing around with a few different templates but nothing has been seeming to work. If anyone can give me some guidance I would appreciate it.

Hey, @torn geyser you may adjust your automations accordingly, based on the response

round horizon Hey, <@351262277216763905> you may adjust your automations accordingly, based on...

Right. The reason I made the post was to figure out how to do that. It seems like I’m missing something simple - would you be able to provide some more insight?

#

ofc you have input_text entity right?

#

you can create an sutomation triggers a notification at 10 pm

#

by handling yaml file

#

And next you can create another automation to handle the response form the actionable noti

#

not make sense?

#

shall I share sample code?

round horizon shall I share sample code?

Yes please, that would be very helpful

#

I already have the automation to send the notification at 10. The only issue is trying to automatically adjust my morning automations based off the time input from the reply

#

See. then you need to focus on capturing the alamtime imput and using it to adjust ur morning automations

torn geyser Sep 26, 2024, 8:43 AM

#

Exactly. If you know how I can do that, that is what I am looking for.

round horizon Sep 26, 2024, 8:43 AM

#

hang on plz

#

Let's see u r using notification service that allows a reply

automation:
  - alias: Set Alarm Time
    trigger:
      platform: event
      event_type: telegram_message_received
    condition:
      - condition: template
        value_template: "{{ trigger.event.data.message is not none }}"
    action:
      - service: input_text.set_value
        data:
          entity_id: input_text.alarm_time
          value: "{{ trigger.event.data.message }}"

#

you can adjust event_type for your notification service

#

Now, create another automation that triggers when input_text.alarm_time change

#

here is example automation for adjusting morning automations

automation:
  - alias: Adjust Morning Automations
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: input_text.alarm_time
    action:
      - service: light.turn_on  # Example action
        data_template:
          entity_id: light.your_light_entity
          brightness_pct: >
            {% set alarm_time = states('input_text.alarm_time') %}
            {% set alarm_hour = alarm_time.split(':')[0] | int %}
            {% set alarm_minute = alarm_time.split(':')[1] | int %}

            {% if alarm_hour < 6 %}
              100  # Bright light for early alarms
            {% elif alarm_hour >= 6 and alarm_hour < 8 %}
              75   # Slightly dim for mid-morning
            {% else %}
              50   # Dim light for late mornings
            {% endif %}

#

Btw, you should adapt the entity IDs and logic as necessary for your situation

The first part works great. Thank you. I was hoping for something a little different for the second part, though. I have an automation that slowly turns on the lights over 15 minutes and an automation that plays the forecast through my Google nest. What I am hoping to change, is when those automations trigger, not the action. For example, if I reply with alarm time of 6:45, start turning on lights at 6:30 with a transition from 0 to 100% over 15 minutes. The next one would be, if I reply with alarm time of 6:45, send a command to my Google nest to play the weather forecast at 7 AM. Basically, light automation 15 minutes before alarm and Google nest automation 15 minutes after alarm

#

sorry for late answer.

#

Ive just checkd ur msg.

#

you can mention me with ur msg like @round horizon

#

let me see

torn geyser Sep 26, 2024, 9:24 AM

#

@round horizon It seems the way to do this would be to set the trigger to time based off value of a date/time helper. I just need to find a way to get my reply to be entered in to my time helper because the first code you sent me works fine for a input_text but not for input_datetime.set_datetime

round horizon Sep 26, 2024, 9:26 AM

#

umm

#

let me think

#

give it a try like this.

#

you can convert alarmtime you set into the input_datetime helper and then trigger your automation based on that time.

#

so first, create an input_datetime helper to store the alarm time

#

maybe I am sure you re able to do this by urself

torn geyser Sep 26, 2024, 9:31 AM

#

The actionable notification is sent to my iOS device. When I give it a reply of 6:45, that value does not get entered in to the datetime helper. I need to find a way to get it to enter in, that seems to be the most simple solution @round horizon

round horizon Sep 26, 2024, 9:32 AM

#

yeah

#

so now have you defined input_datetime in ur config yaml file?

torn geyser Sep 26, 2024, 9:34 AM

#

I already created a helper for that some time ago. I'm just trying to get the reply from my iOS device to populate into the helper. It will populate into an input_text helper but not an input_datetime helper

#

If I'm correct, the text sent back from the reply is a string but it needs to be a timestamp, right?

round horizon Sep 26, 2024, 9:35 AM

#

correct

torn geyser Sep 26, 2024, 9:37 AM

#

I'm not sure how to convert that

round horizon Sep 26, 2024, 9:41 AM

#

now update the automation like this.

automation:
  - alias: Set Alarm Time from Telegram
    trigger:
      platform: event
      event_type: telegram_message_received
    condition:
      - condition: template
        value_template: "{{ trigger.event.data.message is not none }}"
    action:
      - service: input_datetime.set_datetime
        data:
          entity_id: input_datetime.alarm_time
          time: >
            {% set alarm_time = trigger.event.data.message %}
            {% if alarm_time %}
              {% set parts = alarm_time.split(':') %}
              {% if parts | length == 2 %}
                {{ parts[0].zfill(2) }}:{{ parts[1].zfill(2) }}:00
              {% else %}
                "00:00:00"  # Default to 00:00:00 if the message is incorrectly formatted
              {% endif %}
            {% else %}
              "00:00:00"
            {% endif %}

#

Now, update the second one to adjust morning routin based on the input_datetime entity

#

hang on for now

#

I will try Lights Automation -> 15 mins before alarm

#

Okay?

#

if you have an idea, let me know

torn geyser Sep 26, 2024, 9:47 AM

#

okay

#

Thank you for the help

round horizon Sep 26, 2024, 9:48 AM

#

for instance, wanna turn on the lights 15 mins before alarm and trigger Google Nest 15 mins after alarm

round horizon Sep 26, 2024, 9:48 AM

#

torn geyser Thank you for the help

you are welcome

#

wait a min

#

yeah. have done

#

btw can I send it as DM?

torn geyser Sep 26, 2024, 9:51 AM
